Chapter 7 - Flame goddess

Each of his attacks were like a tsunami of power, his anger completely taking over him as there is just one thought in his head and his strike

Kill the two before him, especially the loud mouth guy from the mine. But it prove difficult as the guy is quite good with his way of sword

Evading at last minutes, couple with the constant replenishing clone of oliver he kept producing. They both became a formidable for the bandit

The whole scene is rowdy with puffing smoke of clone being destroyed constantly and new ones being made. Both Oliver and the man from the mine instinctively work in synchronize to push the bandit to his limit

The bandit grew impatient of their consistent yet annoying tactics, he roar angrily stabbing his huge sword into the ground

Generating a cocoon of wind that blast both opponent away, all three of them panting from expanding much energy in their little exchange

"Are you OK" the mine guy asked Oliver once both of them successfully pull through that AOE attack, landing a few distance from the bandit

"I'm good but don't know how much I can hold up, I'm running low on energy right now" oliver replied seriously

"Me too, but I bet he is in a far worse state than we are" the mine guy pointed at the bandit panting for breath too with heavy perspiration on his forehead

Supporting his weight in his huge sword.

"I never thought I'll use this on you two, but you left me no choice. Take it as an honor dying by its effect" the bandit wie out a strange looking pill and pop it into his mouth immediately.

His already diminishing energy shot up like a rocket burst stunning both the other two, his energy restores back to its peak but didn't stop there till it hit a tier three peak stage

"Surprised" the bandit laughs laughs rhetorical, enjoying the look of shock, confusion and dejection

"My organization has been working on a solution for the acupuncture technique and had hit a miracle, a miracle we never expected

Feast your eyes on the miracle of the insurgence, with we shall usher in a new world order

One were equality and power is fairly distributed"

Oliver shook his head, he had scene to many of this scene in movies and all, where the superiors hid their true goal in the sermon of world peace and fairness

This guy just happens to be one of the discardable pawn, once his purpose is being serve

He would be trash just like every thing else that had no value.

"I'm not going to preach irsay anything about your delusional future, I'm just curios

What were you told the drawbacks of using this drug is again" Oliver's question not only stunn the bandit but the mine guy too

How goes around asking question in the middle of a battle, aren't they supposed to plot a way of escape. This guy had gone a whole new level above their pay check

Fighting him is going to be a crazy idea to think about, attempting it is suicidal.

"Let me guess, all top and core members are giving this pill as an assurance pill to tackles tough situations right

If I'm not mistaking, that guy should have it too isnt it"

The bandit look says it all, Oliver words had hit the core point, it made him wonder who the kid is to know so much about their organization.

Oliver sigh seeing his look, "its pitiful how revenge can blind and blunt one sense of reasoning"

"What do you mean by that, you want to buy time to wear me out? It's a waste of time if that's you plan"

"Are you really that stupid, do I have to wear you out to escape? Haven't you seen my movement technique already, escaping would be tough considering you level up but its not impossible"

Oliver wore thick skin to bluff his way out, in all honesty he had no way out. "Let me ask, this pill given to you, is it all the same type or their are different one given to different level of individual"

The bandit urge to fight dropped a bit, he sure is aware there are different miracle pill and its being distributed according to ones commitment to the organization

"Just like I presumed, I bet yours is the lowest grade. One befitting for a discardable, you are just a pawn in the grand scheme"

"Shut your firty mouth, the organization values everyone of us and dedicate to fulfill our desires"

"Naive, I'll let you in on a little secret, something I know you should be aware of by now

All those that might have died fr your organization course had a mental monument held for them, urging you all still alive not to allow their death be I vain

What would happen if you were the one to die then, wouldn't that desire if yours live only as a monumental memories in the heart of others

Do you think the organization would be able to tell apart which dream and desire belongs to fallen comrade

Or is your dream that of organization and not just one that align with theirs?"

At this point, the bandit had completely lost his zest to fight on, his energy still surging but no longer as chaotic as it was initially

At this point a powerful explosion went off at the direction the red hair lady and the bandit leader were engaged In battle, followed by a high pitch screeching sound akin to that of a bird.

"That flame" the mine man frown as he had a bit of familiarity resonanting in his mind

"Flame goddess" the bandit mutter sternly, a trouble look arc on his face before an heavy sigh compliment it

The mine man nodded in agreement as he had same thought too, he felt sorry for who ever that demoness is engaged in battle with

His imagination is dead on point because at the fight scene, the bandit leader had just taken same pill the other took an his strength had surge all the way to tier four

A smug look on his face, hoping to deal with the troublesome lady that had been a tough nut for him to crack.

"Drugs seriously? Is that the best you can do" the lady shook off the ice cascading her figure like it nothing.

"I thought we can still play a bit more before you break down, unfortunately I was wrong

It quiet intriguing to know the organization had been busy recently, concocting such pill show their level of influence and power thus far

Unfortunately I can't let such power remain in the hands off mad men with no rational purpose to live

Time to end out little spar" her tone were like one passing judgement which made the bandit laugh hard but her next words choke that laughter down his throat

"Phoenix sacrifice, body to ash." Her figure were instantaneous engulfed in flame akin to an explosion, unlike the normal feature of her previous flame

This flame burn with intense dark red hue and a terrifying heat that threatens to tur everything it touches to ash

High pitch Phoenix screech resound from the flame as it slowly take the outline of a Phoenix for a brief second before rapidly retracting back the way it came

Revealing the red hair lady now looking like a flame goddess, her hair and eyes carrying the features dark red flame

Fire dance around her figure as if having life of their own and an oppressive ominous aura surging off her being

"Flamm....mmme godd...dess" the bandit cough out in shock and fear, gifted organization have many terrifying people no one wants to cross path with

And this lady in front of him right now is one of such people, it an unspoken rule amongst defaulters to flee at the sight of her

The bandit leader turn to flee but that action was a wrong move in his end, he didn't get the chance to see how she move before his body turn into ash

Disintegrating into thin air along with his scream of pain, returning peace to the woods once more as her figure revert back to normal

She gaze into the sky in thought, ignoring the amount of damage their little battle had done to the woods.

"Seems like you handle things well on your end" she said her eyes still fixed on the bright moon up above

"I'll say same for you seeing your clothes are still very much intaft the way they were the last time i saw them

An heavy slap sent Oliver figure hauling towards a huge tree, " that is for being a pevert in front of me" a kick redirecting his trajectory before his figure could hit the tree. "And that is for playing a fast one on me earlier"

Oliver figure took a first class roller coaster ride around the tree for a few moment before coming to a stop colliding against a huge tree

"You are as fierce as your beauty, truly a wild Rose by nature. I bet the line of suitors most likely are endless" Oliver cough as he tries to get back on his feet

The red hair lady blushed a bit from Oliver's words but regain her composure instantly

While the mine man and the other bandit had their mouth hanging out, jaw drop and lip twitching seeing this casual yet crazy exchange.

Like hell, who grew balls enough to taunt the goddess of flame. Many had been sent to the infirmary just for starring

"And what are you two dazing about" her stern voice reminded them who they were standing before.
