Anticlimax

Standing in my way was the Demon God of Flame Durji.

I was going to beat this guy down and get this Castle in the Sky!

“Disappear! You inferior creature!”

Durji raised his right hand.

What appeared was blue flame. I see, that was quite a lot of heat.

“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Pebbles of compressed flame flew toward me.

If they touched me directly, I would surely evaporate in an instant.

But… What was this?

“Is that all, Demon God?”

The instant the attack hit me, the flames vanished.

“I-Impossible!? My demonic flames disappeared!? Th-That cannot be!”

“Even though you have god in your name, you still follow laws that exist in the real world. That’s kind of anticlimactic.”

If he had used something more unreasonable, like an attack that obviously could not be explained by physics no matter how you thought about it, I would have struggled to deal with it.

For example, something like Master’s ability, where the attack would become something that had never existed in the first place.

But this guy’s power was combustion. In other words, he was burning oxygen to create flames. It was a physical phenomenon.

Then I could deal with it.

If he burned oxygen to create flames, all I had to do was get rid of the oxygen.

I used a potion to forcibly tear apart the molecular bonds of the oxygen.

Without oxygen, flames could not burn. It was simple logic.

“Then, next it’s my turn.”
