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

"Is that the Vampire Vine?"

After getting out of the dreary carriage, Sheen saw for the first time that one of the goals of his trip was ———— vampire vine.

It was a cluster of vines that grew on a road leading to the north, cutting through the road like a barricade and sealing the way.

The vines are a blood-piercing red color, and they grow extremely luxuriantly, like intertwined vines that are tightly intertwined with each other, forming a low, extensive wall of plants.

However, that's not something to appreciate.

Because, Sheen could clearly see that those vines were all like blood vessels, not only repeatedly bulging and contracting as if they were transmitting something, but also constantly wriggling, which looked quite disgusting.

If it was when he was first summoned to this world, seeing such a scene, Sheen felt that he must have begun to vomit.

"Is this a monster?"

Sheehan muttered in disgust.

Beside her, Vivien, who was pulling the carriage, walked over and answered Sheehan's sloqué.

"No, it's not a monster, it's just a plant that grows in a place where there was once a lot of blood, although it looks like a conscious monster, but it's actually no different from other plants, the only difference is that it never absorbs water to grow, but only absorbs blood, so if you accidentally get entangled in it, you will never be able to escape, and you will be pierced through the skin by those vines, sucking the blood of your whole body and dying, for many people, this vampire vine is no different from a monster."

Not only that, but the vitality and toughness of this vampire vine also seem to be quite strong, once it grows, it will multiply at an extremely fast rate, and it will not stop until the blood components in the earth are absorbed, and ordinary swords can't even cut off a layer of its skin, and if it gets too close, there is a danger of being entangled in bloodsucking, therefore, in many places, these vampire vines have brought a lot of trouble.

"It is very difficult for ordinary people to get rid of this kind of vampire vine, for this reason, no matter which town, once it is found that a large number of vampire vines have grown nearby, the management of the town will send an army to clear it, or entrust it to the adventurers of the adventurer's guild to remove it, so as not to cause excessive damage and obstruction."

Vivien patiently explained.

"This time, the vampire vines must have brought a lot of losses to many merchants on the way to the northern towns, and also caused a lot of inconvenience to the communication and trade between the two towns, let's get rid of them as soon as possible."

With that, Vivien looked at Merika.

"No problem, right? Merica? ”

Vivien asked.

"No... No problem. ”

Merika suddenly tightened the staff in her hand, glanced at Sheen without a trace, and walked out.

Seeing this, Sheen raised his eyebrows.

Because, he seemed to have guessed a little bit about how to get rid of the vampire vines next.

"If you want to clear the vampire vine, it's very difficult to do it with a normal sword, and you can't just approach the past, it's too dangerous." Vivien smiled when she saw Sheen's faint expectation, and said, "So, the best way is to start a big fire first, burn them all out, and then slowly dig up the roots that have been planted in the ground to prevent them from growing again." ”

However, due to the extremely high relationship between vitality and toughness, if you set a fire in an ordinary way, I am afraid it will have to burn for a long time.

Unless...

"Use magic directly to burn the vampire vine in one go."

When the words fell from Vivian's mouth, ahead, Merica moved.

"———— this is the breath of the heavenly wheel————"

Merika raised her staff and chanted a solemn incantation from her seductive red lips.

"———— crimson fire spirit, transparent truth, and use this prayer as fuel, and rise here ————"

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

"Heaven Fire!"

On the staff that Merika was held high, the crystal set at the very top of the staff shone brightly.

Suddenly, a stream of heat surged from above Merika, turning into countless flames, like a curtain of rain, and sprinkled towards the vampire vine.

The flames turned the surrounding area crimson, as if the glow of the setting sun was being called, and the temperature in the air continued to rise.

"Bang bang!"

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

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

“————！”

As if a silent scream, in the sea of fire, all the bloodsucking vines struggled frantically.

I believe that no matter anyone who saw it, they would not think that it was just a plant, but would seriously suspect that they were monsters, just like Sheehan.

It's a pity that the monster at least knows how to run away or fight back when facing a life-and-death crisis, but the vampire vine can't do this, just churning in the sea of fire, as if making a final struggle.

Not long after, under the burning of the fire, the vines were turned into char one after another and burned to the ground.

The air was thoroughly filled with the heat and scorching heat of the flames.

"That's magic..."

Sheehan, whose face was lit up by the firelight, watched this scene, and he didn't know whether he was moved or emotional.

Although Sheen had seen monsters that could breathe fire and lightning more than once when he was in the Monster Forest, it was undoubtedly the first time Sheen had seen magic like this.

Sheen stared at Merika's back, who had performed this magical feast.

Until all the vampire vines were burned out, the fire was like an illusion, and as Merika put away her magic, it gradually extinguished.

The vast expanse of vampire vines was burned out, leaving only a scorched black patch.

"Whew..."

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

"Thank you for your hard work"

Vivien stepped forward and greeted Merica.

"It's still as powerful magic as ever."

Thierle also made a faint comment.

"Worthy of an elf..."

Lumia, holding Thierle's arm, cast a look of adoration at Merica.

Merika only shook her head and said, "I didn't do anything special, I just used magic as usual. ”

As she said this, a smile bloomed on Merika's face.

Obviously, Melika's emotions were not tense and nervous in the face of her companions, allowing her to regain her original personality a little.

Seeing this, Sheehan, who had planned to step forward together, stopped his movements.

Looking at Merika's visibly heartfelt smile, Sheehan gave up on a plan that had just risen.

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

I have to say, it's a pity.

But...

"Magic?"

Feeling the abundant magic flowing in his body, and thinking about the [Magic] skill he possessed, Sheen felt that he should find an opportunity to learn magic.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of your abilities.
