Mage of the Abyss: Siola Mithra

Chapter 20 - Reunite

While holding this golden white book in my arm, I walk on the lonely road returning to the rest of my party members which I have successfully rescued. Although I'm still exhausted after that fight with the big toad, I can't let myself be a burden to those people. Galliano aside, I owed those old men for their death in my past life. This time, I will help them escape this place.

'I thought I was gonna die after that explosion. Guess it's thanks to my senses for a future prediction that investing in a bit of health beforehand is a wise choice.'

'And with this book in my hand, I'm sure that things will get easier from now.'

"Heheh, I ended up choosing light magic in the end."

Back then, I got the title [Devotee of the End Kings]. I was a bit into roleplay that I ended up taking a lot of miscellaneous quests that people don't often take. Especially when it comes to religion. My first choice then was Armalia, the first-ranked God ruling the Divine Order. But somewhere along the lines, I made a lot of choices that I thought would let me have an enjoyable walkthrough but ended up resulting in the opposite.

For example, blowing up a whole church because there were rumors and a bit of, I thought at the time was evidence that it was the case of corruption. Said that the archbishop was involved in human trafficking, but after everything was done, I found out that the rumors and evidence were false and I ended up unjustly killing innocent— no, people who are helping others. They don't deserve that fate, so on my path to redemption, one thing led to another.

Somewhere along the way, I got that horrible-sounding title.

'But that was the past.'

Here, I will be something more. Someone even I myself can be proud of.

"Haa..."

'This place. Even though it's dark, it's somewhat visible. Even though it's cold, it's somewhat comforting.'

I eventually arrived at the gate where I have slain the undead demon a while back. But I don't see anyone around here.

"Did they get back?"

"No, why would they?"

This predicament makes me nervous so I make haste forward.

I found them, but the situation is not looking good. They're being attacked by furry four-legged creatures known as wolves. Not to mention them being undead, Galliano is having a hard time once again protecting those old men. Boland on the other hand is struggling with the number of wolves hounding him.

"Ignition."

Flame coated my entire body.

*Bwoosh*

~ {Activating Effects...}

*Bwooooosh*

The flame becomes larger and fuller.

"Boland, get back!"

He glanced at me with his eyes peeled. He quickly swirls his sword 360 and quickly went back while I headed straight to those wolves with my axe in hand and embers on its blade.

"Combustion!"

*BWOOOOOSH*

My eyes widened after seeing those flame sparks bigger than it ever was before. It is still much smaller than what Kurira can do but, I can now see why this spell is much endorsed by her.
