The scenes reopened century-long wounds and its hatred for humans was rekindled, but this time it wasn't a candle flame but a furnace.

This was blood boil one of the powers of a demigod of the fire pathway, Warmonger.

​​

It allowed the user to use intense heat to attack the mind of the enemy by using troubling memories of one's past to make them feel rage.

It made the target go berserk and attack anyone the warmonger decided was an enemy.

Since it was the only enemy, Zirrack made it see an image of himself and without wasting time it began assaulting "Zirrack" which was an empty space with barrages of spells.

Blood boil was a demigod skill and wasn't meant to affect the Inazuma which was equivalent to an angel, but it was all because of Godspeed.

Just like when Blake used Mind boost, the thoughts of the Inazuma had gone wild and it needed to maintain a very high level of focus.

When blood boil was cast, the scenes of its painful past in conjunction with the still active Godspeed caused it to lose focus and let the rage consume it.

Seeing his plan which he had begun setting up right from the start of the fight work, a smile appeared on Zirrack's face and his gauntlets, as well as his entire body, flared up.

This time it wasn't crimson flames but hell flames!

He dashed towards the Inazuma, and under the protection of his fire, he activated the gauntlets skills and began pounding away.

Fury fists

With every blow that hit the target, the power output was doubled and so did the internal burns.

BOOM! BOOM!

Punch after punches rained down on the Inazuma as it was still stuck in the trance.

The ground beneath them had turned to a 10-meter deep crater with a pool of magma produced from the intense heat from Zirrack.

"NO!"

As Zirrack was about to give the final blow. The Inazuma who was too tired to maintain Godspeed realized that it had been in a trance, screamed in panic, but it was already too late.

BOOM!

Zirrack's fist burst right through its battered hide and into its heart which was reduced to cinders by the heat.

With that marking the end of the battle, the flames all around disappeared and the clouds returned to normal.

Thud!

Zirrack slumped into the pool of magma beside the corpse of the Inazuma, but it was nothing more than warm water to him. He was still conscious but little to no energy left in him.

It was a long and difficult battle, but there was something it had thought.

Destruction was all about destroying the physical, but also mental.

From the beginning of the battle he knew he was lacking in everything except strength, but he was well aware that it was far from giving him victory.

So, for once he took a different approach to the battle and began setting up the battlefield for blood boil.

"Finally." Zirrack lost consciousness.

With this realization, Zirrack had completed the requirement for becoming an angel of destruction.

…

3 days later at the association, Blake received a room announcement that caused him to pause his cultivation.

"Guild Master Walden request for the presence of the order of chaos adventurer party."

"Seems like the investigation is over and our rewards are here." With an excited smile on his face, Blake left his room and met Castiel and Brian.

"I wonder how much gold and points we get this time?" Brian said.

A few days ago, Tessie and her butler had shown up at the association after being informed that they had returned.

They ended up chatting for the longest time since they had been in school, and surprisingly Arnold wasn't even in the room to disturb them.

They narrated the same story they had told Walden and it made Tessie feel it was all her fault.

With her family's wealth and background, she could have easily gotten the Dubian flowers, but she had requested to do it with the guys.

After comforting her and it was time to leave, Arnold proceeded to pay the commission and they were assigned 5k points.

"Come in."

After they took their seats, Guild master Walden spoke.

"After you guys were out of the research facility, agents of the ash corps were sent to the sight but they saw nothing." When mentioning this part it made the trio look at each other.

"Well, you don't have to worry, because Kingslayer's report proves you all were telling the truth." Walden said

"Although the base was gone when we arrived, it doesn't mean that your information was useless because it helped us find out the owner of the research facility." Walden's words piqued the interest of the trio.

"Is it Azkelwart?" Blake asked.

The question made Walden pause for a moment before he refuted the claim "It's confidential information and you don't have the level of clearance to know that."

"Back to the rewards. The order of chaos party will be awarded 50k points for their help in the investigation. 20k points to Mr. Zero for being the most active and 10 each for Grock and hades."

'Is that all?' They had been waiting for the part where he would mention the gold part, but it never came.

"Thank you." Seeing there was nothing else, the trio bowed and left the room.

'Although it is common knowledge for forgemasters to know about the God of wisdom and inventions. Why do I have the feeling that these 3 are special.' Walden thought.

'Well, since they addressed him with his mortal know, then it is safe to say they have no Idea.'

…

"Disappointed…" Brian the most outspoken one of the group was the first to say the thought everyone's mind.

Just like the last mission that went out of control and they ended up receiving a huge amount of gold, they were expecting the same.

"I too am disappointed, but It actually makes sense." Blake's comment made Brian to look at him with an unimpressed expression.
