Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 45: Mutual-Evit 5 of 10 “Red Rot” (Part 01)

Among the spruce trees, Odo drove his chariot as fast as possible until Vil, Nanra, and Canna who were riding in the carriage were shaken. The result of the calculation that the young man got was almost everything was a bad thing, making him even more anxious and completely muddled. Sweat poured out, breath gasping and blood flowed out of his nose.

“Damn it! Goddamnit! I'm too undercutting this problem ..!”

Passing through the uneven road and uphill, Odo forced the two horses pulling the wooden carriage to keep running. Regardless of altitude adaptation, regardless of those riding on the train, the young man in black hair actually kept on driving his vehicle until it was completely in the Rockfield territorial highlands.

“Master Odo ...!! Look in the north direction!” canna looked out of the horse carriage window.

“Hah?!”

Smoke came out from the direction the sorcerer pointed at. Acquiring and momentarily widened because of this, instantaneous internal calculations by Auto Senses tell Odo the worst possible thing that can happen to the Klista settlement he is worried about. Gritting his teeth, Odo pulled the steering rope and stopped the two horses after passing the ramp.

Canna hit her head against the wall in the car quite hard, instantly curling up in pain with a flushed forehead. Vil was also hit, he was thrown to the side and hit Nanra on the train floor because Odo suddenly stopped.

“Ke-Why stop, Odo?” Vil immediately woke up and came out in panic, as did Nanra who was also confused by the young man's anxiety.

Not answering his question, Odo immediately got down from the coachman's place and picked up the sword with the red coals pattern of the Dimensional Bracelet. Taking a deep breath, the young man forced the immature magic structure to activate the Mana of the Magic Core. Blood flowed from his broken veins, flowing from his eyes as well as his nose, and the muscles tightened chaotically.

Seeing that Vil and Canna immediately went down and were about to stop Odo. “What are you doing! Your magic structure hasn't puli—!” Vil's words came to a halt when he saw Odo's wrathful face, his body trembling to see such a terrible expression on the face of the young man who always looked friendly.

“Vil!” snapped Odo. Glancing sharply, he said. “How long can you maintain your existence if you are not near me!?”

“Eh? That's ...”

“How long?!”

“Li-Five minutes ...”

“Tch!”

Odo immediately stuck the sword on the ground, immediately took off his two gloves and threw it on the ground. Taking a deep breath and manipulating some of his senses to alleviate the pain, the young man of black hair instantly***his own right palm until the cracking sound of several bones sounded. Shrinking the tip of his hand forcefully like that, he immediately took off the Dimensional Bracelet and turned to face the trembling Great Spirit.

“Take this! Don't let this thing get away from you! This bracelet should be able to extend your duration to half a day while away from me!”

“Eh? Ap—?”

“I have to go first! Take care of Nanra for me! And also, Canna! Take care of them both!”

Odo holds the shoulder of the mage of the Miquator. Without further explaining, Odo immediately turned around and immediately took a plan. Leg muscles were forced, the body bent and he immediately jumped high using thrower magic. While in the air, Odo made five layers of throwing magic circles, then immediately shot to the source of the smoke billowing on the plateau that was still slightly snowy.

Blood splattered from the young man's body as it went. dripped onto Vil's cheek and made him tremble in fear. An excruciating anxiety as if piercing his chest, he felt that Odo would completely disappear if he went alone like that.

The black haired woman stepped up and was about to chase after him. But when the bracelet he received from Odo emitted a purplish light, he realized that it really had some of the youth's strength. That Dimensional Bracelet also stored the structure to maintain the physical shape of the Vil in the Real World.

“Odo ..., what do you see? Why can you be that hot just because you see asa—?”

Vil's words came to a halt, information about Odo's reason for leaving suddenly flowed within his head. It came from the bracelet held by Vil, making the Great Spirit understand and understand what to do.

Canna who saw the young man leave just put on a flat expression, glanced at the small Great Spirit and was a little annoyed at something.

“A-What happened? Why did Odo go alone? What smoke puff is that?” nanra asked confusedly.

Vil didn't answer, neither did Canna. They both understood what Odo was doing to save something again, they understood that despite not being told directly. Understanding what they must do, Vil and Canna choose to do something rather than just shut themselves up.

“Let's help Mr. Odo, Great Spirit!”

“Ya!”

Vil rubbed blood stains on the cheeks. The two of them immediately turned around with a definite purpose. Vil lifts Nanra's body without explaining anything to her, then takes the little girl inside the horse carriage.

“A-What are you doing? Why Odo go?” ask Nanra.

Ignoring that, Vil looked at Canna and said, “Come!”

“Ya!”

Canna immediately went up to the coachman's place. Although he was still trembling and felt insecure about being able to ride a horse carriage, he forced himself and still spurred him towards a place that was different from the existing route.

««»»

Odo darted through the air quickly using consecutive throwing magic. The increasingly dilapidated body was not cared about, the structures that were still not fully formed one by one began to break down and the flow of Mana weighed on his body directly. Blood splattered, flowing from the body and falling like a drizzling rain.

“Yang is right! Why did they do it?! Not that the fucking A.I had already ordered them to delay his war until next year!!!? Ken—!?”

Odo's voice stopped in the throat and would not come out into question, what he asked was clearly answered when he saw the condition of the Klista settlement.

From the air Odo saw it— The village he last saw was full of peace it became a sea of fire. Bodies were strewn, blood splattered, and the houses he had seen were burned by a bright red blaze. In his mind instantly appeared a dark feeling, the wrath that existed turned into a thick hatred.

“Kub Kill ... all of you ..”

Odo came down and landed by force. Both of his leg bones were fractured, yet the young man did not care about it at all and directly forced the body to wake up. Auto Senses used to forcibly access the Magic Core to recover the body, but at the same time it also damaged his body with certainty.

Blood flowed from the broken blood vessels, then a deformed magic structure was used to seal the wound quickly. A such turnaround continued to force Odo and made him gradually suffer irreparable damage.

Picking up a dagger near the well with his left hand, Odo soaked the weapon with his own blood. Pointing his dagger forward, he loudly said, “Hariq Iliah : Auget Ignis!

As if obeying the call, the blaze that burned the house in front of him immediately floated towards Odo and enveloped the dagger with Odo's left hand. The air around the fire began to crystallize, then it turned into a red scaly Gauntlet that fused with the dagger.

Taking a deep breath and reducing the circulation of Internal Mana to lower the impact on the body, Odo tried to win himself and not get carried away. Closing his eyes at a glance, he muttered, “De ... lete!” Doubt and unwillingness to remove the fleeting anger, then disappear quickly when the eraser structure is active.

His heart was very calm in the face of the blaze that burned the Klista settlement. The bodies of the man near the well or the woman lying not far from his place did not make Odo angry again. An emptiness, a silent silence filled his mind and head.

“This .. is indeed my ignorance. I trust the outside too much .... Right, they're outsiders. Those systems ... outsiders who only comply with systems with higher authority.”

The young man with the fire dagger and the coal-patterned sword walked towards the blaze. All the fire that exists cannot burn his body, his clothes, or even his hair. The black-haired figure was the ruler of fire, the embodiment of the Black Dragon's incarnation.

In the middle of his footsteps, the voices that made his heart tremble sounded — As if a needle was piercing a balloon, it dredged into the silence belonging to the young man.

“To ... long ..!”

“Ak ..., anyone ....! Please my son ..”

“Mama ...”

“Kakak ..”

It actually made Odo's footsteps stop and anger began to surge. Indeed the inhabitants of Klista do not have strong ties with him. But for Odo who often uses Perception Speculation, he knows them all enough, to the point that he remembers almost half the name of the Klista population.

Odo continued to try to erase the emotions that had thrown his mind into disarray. But each time it was removed, it was again smoldering and burning like a fire burning over a sea of oil. Looking ahead and seeing one of the people who was the culprit of the chaos, those emotions instantly flared up big in his mind.

He was one of the bandits Odo was looking for, Kolt Luis. Although he had only first met one of the bandit dreamers, he knew very clearly that the man crawling on the ground was Kolt. Looking at his broken right leg with wounds that were not due to sharp objects or burns, Odo ascertained what was going on and who was the mastermind that made the Klista settlement a victim.

Taking a deep breath, the young man loudly shouted, “Kolt Luis is here! Out you!”

The bandit leader stopped crawling, looked over in panic and his eyes looked at Odo. The body of the flap-haired man immediately shivered in fear at the young man standing in the middle of the blaze. The words of the curse he was about to release were shackled in the throat.

“Oi! The guy is right here!” said one of the soldiers of the kingdom of Moloia.

Hearing that, Odo turned his head coldly and stared cynically. Kolt Luis crawled back up and tried to escape. Realizing that, Odo threw his sword towards Kolt's left foot and cooked it to the ground.

“AKHH!!!”

The heat of the sword with the pattern of embers burning the wound, making the pain spread all over the Kolt bone. Making one of the bandit leaders unable to move as his legs were neatly pressed to the ground.

“Who are you?! You're not a Klista like him!”

Hearing the question the Moloia people threw at him, Odo just stared flat with cold eyes. Some of Moloia's soldiers had been besieged, wearing camouflage robes that had been altered for anti-fire. Seeing the move, Odo realized several things. They numbered five, two of them carrying Red9 and another shotgun.

“You guys, are you ready to pay the consequences?” ask Odo.

“Here we are asking!! Who're you! Why are you in this place?!”

Six other Moloias came. Before Odo was ready, they had surrounded him and held up the weapon whose trigger was ready to be pulled at any time. The young man in black hair only let out a light sigh, as if he did not heed their question.

“You are so stupid .... Carrying such a weapon in a place like this,” muttered Odo.

The flames of anger in my mind turned dark. Odo stopped erasing the constantly burning emotion in his heart, letting it flare up and burning him from within. Staring with a broken empty emotion, he said, “Ah, that's it. Just destroy all of you.”

Odo brandished his dagger forward and began using Hariq Iliah to manipulate the fire directly. It was not pure magic and did not overload the magic structure too much, therefore he could instantly absorb the flames around his place and stroke it freely.

The flames floated and absorbed into the young man's body, looking like vibrant red threads entering him. Realizing the strangeness, the Moloia people instantly pulled their trigger and—

The duarrk!!

Suddenly their weapons exploded as the trigger was pulled. The fingers were smashed, the guns fell and they were cowering in pain. The explosion came from the gunpowder they had on their firearms. By manipulating the temperature and making a splash, Odo tampered with the combustion mechanism on the firearms and made their weapons explode.

The soldiers who were carrying shotguns were seriously injured, their fingers were all destroyed due to the large amount of gunpowder on the shells.

“A-What happened .... Goddamnit! Why did the gun explode?!”

“Name I know! That must be it!”

Gazing towards Odo, they instantly realized what was being fought. Those who kneel down and lose their fingers realize that what stands before them is not a complete human being.

“You guys, are you ready to pay the consequences?” ask Odo back.

Not listening to Odo's words, one of Moloia's soldiers who had previously carried a Red9 pistol immediately took a dagger from the bag of weapons in his chest. He held the dagger with his left hand because some of his right hand fingers were damaged.

“Whatever you are talking to, ***!!”

The Moloia man immediately charged towards Odo, then thrust his weapon. Yet without being able to injure the young man, the dagger's eyes melted with heat and only became a viscous liquid upon touching his chest. Touching Odo's body, the instant the man's hand caught fire and white flames instantly spread throughout the body.

“AKHHH!! WHAT IN—!!”

It didn't take five seconds, the man was charred to death. The flames continued to flare, and as it collapsed its body became completely ash. Seeing what was happening, the other Moloians trembled and kept their distance from Odo.

“You ... , what's ready to pay konekuensin— Ugh!”

Odo vomited blood, Hariq Iliah strength concentration reduced. The thin hot walls that were around his body began to fade. The young man reached the limit, several broken veins and veins made him unable to stand upright. Collapsing and kneeling, his gaze began to fade.

“Li-See! He's injured!”

“It's definitely pay for magic as strong as it— AKhh!!!”

The body of the Moloia man was instantly burnt, scorched quickly and shattered into ashes. A fleeting sense of confidence instantly dissipated as they realized the young man could burn without physical contact.

“What .. what the hell is this guy?! Though this robe can withstand heat up to 1,500 fahrenheit! Kena—AAAAAKHh!!”

Another one of them burned to ashes. Odo woke up with a staggering body, looking very fragile and his eyes were so empty. It was lifeless and just like a moving corpse.

An officer with a submachine gun came. Seeing his comrades trembling in fear facing one young man, he said, “A-What happened?! Why didn't you guys kill him!?”

“Shoot! Kill him!” shouted the other fellow who was trembling.

“Tch!”

The man with the submachine gun immediately took up arms, aiming and strafing Odo with Barreta 38a. “What happened, basic useless!” the man said as he fired 30 rounds in a row at the young man. After the firing stopped, everyone who saw it went wide.

Almost all of the shots hit the young man's body and should have punched him. But what happened was different, the entire bullet melted into a red viscous liquid due to the high temperature around his body. It stuck to the shirt, then it flowed and dripped down onto the ground.

Gazing towards them, Odo smiled faintly and said, “Means you guys are ready with the consequences, ‘kan?”

It made them shiver, realizing something terrible was about to happen.

“Shoot! Shoot it! Shoot it!! Don't let him get near you!!”

Those who still had firearms directly spent the bullets, strafing Odo with hot lead and while stepping back trembling. It's all useless, it'll just melt because of the high temperatures and it won't hurt Odo.

One of them threw a small tube containing gunpowder. The duark!! It exploded quite large, leaving some of them slammed. As the smoke cleared, Odo stood with his right hand wounded after withstanding the attack.

“He's hurt! Guna—!”

Sreerets! The duark!!!

A flash of red lightning struck the gunpowder tube belonging to one of the Moloia soldiers and instantly exploded, it smashed his body into pieces of flesh. The lights also stop the people nearby. Before they could get up, Odo ran to one of the soldiers and kicked him in the head.

Crack down!

The neck bone was instantly shattered, the high heat that became a thin protector around Odo instantly burned the head of the man he kicked. Vnt ...! The head exploded as his brain boiled.

A soldier attacked Odo from behind with a combat knife, precisely targeting his neck for thinking the joint had no protection. But the moment the blade touched the young man, the metal instantly melted due to the high temperature.

Odo immediately elbowed the soldier's face. The high temperature was instantly sent into that army head and — Duark!! His head exploded from within and his body collapsed. Meat splattered and partially clung to Odo's clothes. Quickly the clinging flesh turned into ashes.
