The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Half a day later, Sheehan and his party arrived at their first destination.

"Is that the vampire vine?"

Getting off the carriage full of dreary atmosphere, Shinn saw the target of his and others' trip---the blood-sucking vine at first sight.

It was a group of vines that grew on the road leading to the north, crossing the road like a barricade and sealing the road.

The vines are dazzling red like blood, and they grow extremely lush, like intertwined vines tightly intertwined with each other, forming a low and extremely wide plant wall.

However, that's not something to appreciate.

Because Xien can clearly see that those vines are like blood vessels, not only repeating bulging and shrinking as if they are transmitting something, but also squirming constantly, which looks quite disgusting.

If he had just been summoned to this world and saw such a scene, Sheehan felt that he must have started to vomit.

"Is this a monster too?"

Sheehan muttered in disgust.

Beside, Vivian, who was pulling the carriage, came over and answered Sheehan's self-talk.

"No, it's not a monster, it's just a plant that grows in places that have been drenched with a lot of blood. Although it looks like a conscious monster, it's actually no different from other plants. The only difference is that it never It absorbs water to grow, but only absorbs blood, so if you are accidentally entangled in it, you will never be able to escape. Those vines pierce the skin and suck the blood from the whole body and die. For many people , this vampire vine has the same threat as a monster."

Not only that, the vitality and toughness of this blood-sucking vine is also quite strong. Once it grows, it will proliferate at an extremely fast rate, and it will stop until the blood components in the earth are absorbed. Not even one layer of its skin can be cut off, and if it is too close, there is a danger of being entangled in blood-sucking. Therefore, in many places, these blood-sucking vines have brought a lot of trouble.

"It is difficult for ordinary people to remove this kind of blood-sucking vines. For this reason, no matter which town it is, once a large number of blood-sucking vines are found growing nearby, the town's management will send troops to clear it, or entrust it to the Adventurer's Guild. Adventurer, let the adventurer do the removal, so as not to cause excessive damage and hindrance."

Vivian explained patiently.

"This time, the blood-sucking vines grow on the only way to the northern town, which must have brought a lot of losses to many merchants, and also brought a lot of inconvenience to the communication and trade between the two towns. Let's clear them as soon as possible. ."

With that said, Vivian looked at Melika.

"Are you okay? Melika?"

Vivian asked.

"No... no problem!"

Melika tightened the staff in her hand immediately, glanced at Sean without a trace, and then walked out.

Seeing this, Sean raised his brows.

Because, he seems to have guessed how to get rid of those blood-sucking vines next.

"If you want to clear the blood-sucking vines, it is difficult to do it with ordinary swords, and you can't approach the past casually. It's too dangerous." Vivian smiled when she saw Sean's vague look of anticipation, and said: "So , the best way is to set up a big fire first, burn them all, and then slowly dig out the roots that have sunk into the ground to prevent them from growing again."

However, due to the relationship between vitality and toughness, if a fire is set on an ordinary fire, I am afraid it will take a long time to burn.

unless...

"Use magic directly to burn the blood-sucking vine at one time."

When these words fell from Vivian's mouth, Melika moved ahead.

"————This is the breath of the Sky Wheel——"

Melika raised her staff and chanted a solemn incantation from her alluring red lips.

"————The crimson fire essence, the transparent truth, using this prayer as fuel, rises here——"

At this moment, Melika's face no longer maintained the tension and tension before, but as if she had transformed into a natural goblin, she rolled up magic power on her body and shouted loudly.

"Heaven Fire!"

On the staff held high by Melika, the crystal embedded at the top of the staff burst into light.

Immediately, a heat flow emerged from the sky above Melika, turning into countless flames, like a rain screen, sprinkled on the blood-sucking vines.

The flames turned the surrounding area into a crimson color, as if the rays of the sunset were being summoned, and the temperature in the air continued to rise.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In the next second, the endless rain of flames fell on the blood-sucking vine, like an explosion, setting off waves of fire one after another, completely covering the blood-sucking vine.

The blood-red vines just fell into the sea of ​​fire and were burned.

"————!"

Like a silent scream, in the sea of ​​​​fire, the blood-sucking vines are all struggling frantically.

I believe that no matter who saw that scene, no one would think that it was just a plant, but would, like Sheehan, seriously suspect that they were monsters.

Unfortunately, monsters at least know how to escape or counterattack when faced with a life-and-death crisis, but the blood-sucking vines can't do this.

It didn't take long for the vines to turn into coke one after another under the burning of the fire, and they were burnt out.

The air was completely filled with the high temperature and scorching heat of the flame.

"That's magic..."

Sheehan, whose whole face was illuminated by the firelight, watched this scene, not knowing whether he was moved or said this with emotion.

Although in the monster forest, Sheehan saw monsters that can breathe fire and lightning more than once, but seeing magic like this is undoubtedly the first time for Sheehan.

Sheehan stared at the back of Melika who performed this magic feast.

Until all the blood-sucking vines were burnt out, the fire was like an illusion, and it gradually went out as Melika put away her magic power.

That large piece of blood-sucking vines was burnt out like this, leaving only a scorched black spot.

"call..."

Melika seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and put away her staff.

"Thanks a lot"

Vivian then stepped forward and condolences to Melika.

"It's still as powerful as ever."

Thiel also made a light evaluation.

"As expected of an elves..."

Rumia, who was holding Tierer's arm, gave Melika a look of admiration.

In response, Melika just shook her head and said, "I didn't do anything special, I just used magic as usual."

Saying so, Melika also had a smile on her face.

Obviously, in the face of these companions, Melika's emotions have not been kept tense and tense, making her return to her original personality a little.

Seeing this, Sheehan, who had planned to come forward together, stopped.

Looking at Melika's obviously heartfelt smile, Sheehan gave up a plan that had just arisen.

"It seems that there is no way for the other party to teach me magic."

I have to say, this is a pity.

but...

"Magic?"

Feeling the abundant magic power flowing in his body, and thinking about the [Magic Guidance] skills he possesses, Sheehan felt that he should find a chance to learn magic.

Otherwise, it's a waste of your ability.
