The forest was unnaturally dark and quiet.

While chasing after the carriage, the trackers remained constantly vigilant of their surroundings.

Their eyes were tense and alert.

Charlotte was no exception.

Unlike the others, she was enjoying the current tension, but she was certainly aware that the atmosphere had changed.

That premonition materialized soon after.

Kwahrrrrr-

Not far in front of them, a massive pillar of fire shot up.

To be precise, it was a wall of fire.

Kihiing-!

Startled by the blinding light, the horses instinctively stopped.

Some even rolled on the ground.

But no one paid attention to them.

What is that?

Fire? Did someone set a fire?!

Everyone was dazed by the swaying curtain of flames.

It must be that witch girls doing! Shes trying to shake us off her trail like this.

But to actually set a fire Does she not plan to escape the forest again?

The wall of fire was furiously burning the surrounding trees.

Only withered branches stuck out, and the grass was scorched.

Only then did some realize that this forest was the perfect condition for fire to spread.

Itll take time, but we can go around it. Everyone keep your wits about you-

It was at that moment when Oleg was speaking.

Kwahrrrrr-

Another pilume of fire shot up.

This time, it was at a slanted side from the first wall.

The flames of the first wall were subsiding, but the burning trees still smoked heavily.

Doesnt seem like the time to worry about curses. I have a bad feeling. Lets give up the chase and turn back now.

Cowards! Those who want to leave can go! Were going to keep going!

As the trackers split into two groups,

Charlotte was still staring at the wall of fire with trembling eyes.

That bastard!

She instinctively knew it was Ian who created those flames.

She didnt have much evidence, but she trusted her intuition.

A Blade Dancer!

An existence that could only come from fairy tales.

If he could wield such magic, it was no wonder what happened to Kyle and Kenneth.

The reason Charlotte inwardly decided to chase after them even if she burned to death in this forest,

Kwahrrr-

Yet another pillar of fire rose up.

This time, it was far behind them.

No way? Thats insane?

Isnt that the way we came from?

The faces of those preparing to retreat were struck with horror.

Forest fires spread faster than expected.

With a wall of fire like that, it would instantly burn the surrounding trees and spread rapidly.

!

It was right after that when Charlotte seemed to realize something, her tail stiffening.

Dammit. Dont know whats going on, but its trying to trap and burn us alive. Follow me! Were getting out of here while theres still a path!

Oleg turned his horse around, having grasped the situation a step ahead.

As if to prove his words, flames erupted from the side at that moment.

Kwaarrrrr-

Dammit! Everyone follow me!

Oleg whipped the reins.

The cavalry guards frantically followed him.

Only Charlotte did not move.

Her eyes shone with exhilaration.

That bastard is still here!

Retrieving that girl was no longer her concern.

The only important thing was that Ian was somewhere around here.

Follow the Imperials if you dont want to burn to death here!

Dont just stand there dazed, move!

Finally grasping the situation, the others also tried to follow Oleg.

Hwahrrrruk-

It was right after that when countless fireballs bloomed in the air.

The fireballs instantly dropped into their midst as soon as they were formed.

Bang! Kwahgwang-! Bang!

Aaaargh-!

Madness! Everyone fall back!

What in the world is going-

A horse caught in the explosions ran with its body on fire, and the trackers were instantly split into two groups in chaos.

A smile spread across Charlottes face as she watched the scene.

Instead, its hunting us.

Feeling a thrill run through her, she dismounted her horse.

The battle staking each others lives had already begun.

Above the tall tree.

Indeed, the Flame Barrier consumes magic without a magic wand.

Ian, who had already thrown away the empty magic stone a while ago, reached out towards below.

Shaaa-

The resentment of the swamp extended towards the mounted soldiers below.

While the curse was being planted.

Slash-

Ian, pulling out his dagger in reverse grip, flew through the air.

Like darting through the branches, he swiftly descended without a sound.

Behind the mercenaries separated from the group.

As Ian landed on the horses buttocks, he simultaneously struck down with his dagger.

Crack!

The mercenary trembled, unable to even scream as the dagger pierced deep into his neck.

Why are you just staring blankly? Follow me, damn it! Hey? Hey?

When his companion noticed his death, Ian was already running through the trees.

With a drop of chaos infused and amplified by the gusting wind blades, his movements were almost unaffected by gravity.

It was just a matter of not falling with his reflexes.

Ian scanned the battlefield.

Indeed, theres nothing unsatisfactory about causing chaos and fear.

The owner of this cursed forest would surely be enraged.

But now, Im not in a position to pick and choose.

Kwajik-!

As Ian dropped another dagger onto someones head, he looked up.

Next to him, a knight with wide-open eyes.

Nice to see you, Jamie.

Y-You?

I have a little gift for you.

Confirming the return of the swamps resentment to his fingertips, Ian reached out towards him.

A sinister sensation swept past Jamies face.

What is this?

As the original form of the resentment returned, it plunged its teeth into Jamies exposed neck.

Ian erupted as if there was nothing more to see.

Without realizing he was under a curse, Jamie screamed.

Above! Hes up there! That damn ghostly swordsman is here-!

With that cry as his last, his vision began to blur and mix.

Rising flames and raging ghosts.

While Jamie was engulfed in confusion.

Crossbows! Shoot crossbows!

There!

The trackers, hearing his cry, finally looked up.

Amongst the malicious smoke and flames, a faint figure was darting through.

Pishooo-

As the crossbow bearers fired bolts, not a single one grazed Ian.

By the time they were hastily reloading, Ian was already out of their sight.

Where are you going to escape to?

He headed towards Oleg and the black knights to avoid the flames.

Ians pupils burned red.

A drop of chaos mingled with his magic.

With a swoosh, the spell was complete within seconds.

Countless dancing flames blossomed.

As Ian sent them towards Olegs direction, he leaped down onto a low branch.

Kwagwagwang-!

Danger! The trees are falling!

This damned bastard!

The explosion and screams, frantic horses.
