47 Chapter 47. Bad Luck
And just as Myne watched the flying Ax coming toward him with horror-filled eyes, suddenly a loud sound resolved in the forest.
*Boom,
Myne stood in his place like a statue, large drops of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead, and a huge battle ax dangling in mid-air just 15 centimeters from his eyes, but that ax wasn't able to cross such a short distance. Because a thin green transparent light was preventing it from moving forward.
This is Myne's first defense-type magic skill Wind Shield which he most of the time keeps activated in case of an emergency, and thanks to his foreseeing, he accidentally but successfully avoids a life-threatening disaster.
*Bam...
As the battle ax lost its momentum it can no longer stay in the air and dropped in front of Myne with a little sound, which also woke up him from his stun state.
F*ck! So close, just a little bit of bad luck, and today my game might have been over. Thank god, I didn't remove Wind Shield, even after finding that its levels can't increase just by keeping it activated, Myne thought while wiping sweat from his forehead. Then he remove his eyes from the battle ax in front of him and looked toward the direction from where it came. And saw 3 green muscular guys coming at him with blood-red eyes and angry expressions on their faces while scouting something which of course Myne didn't understand.

"So that short height one in the trio used the magic skill on me, and that one teeth guy threw the ax at me, huh. Good, very good, now it's my turn to f*ck you all," Myne said angrily and after stealing their skills and pasting their abilities to a nearby tree.
Then while the Orc trio was running toward Myne with all their might like he was the world's most beautiful woman and was currently laying naked on the ground in front of them with legs wide open and a big playful smile on her face, Myne cast his new skill AoE Magic・Fire Maximum, in just some step away from the Orc trio.
The Orc trio, who were running at their full speed, even after seeing the same red color round circle filled with unknown characters, of course, can't control their momentum instantly and directly enter the red magic circle and just as they reach the middle of the magic circle, a red fire pillar more than 10 meters tall suddenly shot from under their feet and devoured them whole.
Because Myne was furious that he was about to lose his life just because of those cannon fodder, he put a lot of magical energy into this skill out of anger, and because of it even though 'AOE Magic・Fire Maximum' was only a level 1 skill, Its power, and area effect directly increased by two times, and the original 5 meters large fire pillar that was cast by the Orc magician increased to 10 meters.
"Ahhhhh...
As the Org trio was burning alive in the fire pillar while screaming crazily nonstop, Myne with a frown on his face didn't stop there and cast his second powerful skill AoE Magic・Wind Maximum. Soon a big 2 metes tall tornado appears in front of him and with Myne's gentle wave of a hand, the tornado quickly speeds up and comes in front of the fire pillar, and merges into it.
Just as the wind tornado and fire pillar come in contact with each other, a magical thing happens in front of Myne.
Original 10 meters tall and 4 meters wide fire pillar, after swallowing by the wind tornado, as if someone poured oil into it, suddenly its fires started becoming larger and also more fierce. Because of its already huge size surrounding trees also start burning, giving the already big fire pillar more energy and fuel. After all, Myne was fighting with Orcs in the middle of the forest filled with trees from all directions.
Soon in front of Myne's stunned and wide open eyes, all trees nearby the fire pillar start burning nonstop, and like an unstoppable plague, the fire spread in all directions.
"F*ck! What kind of mess did I create this time," Myne said with an extremely fearful and nervous expression on his face. As for the Orc trio, they had become ash just after Myne's both skills combined with each other.
While Myne stood in his place in a statue-like position, staring at the spreading fire like an idiot, suddenly a tree that burn too much fell in his direction. Seeing the falling tree, Myne hurriedly come out of his shocked state and narrowly dodge it.
*Boom...
"Ouch, hot, hot, f*ck, really this time things have gone out of hand, it would be better for me to get out of here soon, otherwise, I will also meet the same end as those three," Myne said with a helpless expression, and after giving a final glance to already out of control fire, he runs away the opposite direction of fire.
...
"It should be better for me if I do not use AoE types of magic skills together lightly, otherwise, I probably kill myself one day," Myne said after making a safe distance between himself and the forest fire.
But now what should I do? Should I go back to the town and inform everyone about the fire or just fish in trouble water and kill some more Orgs, and save that poor lady in the Orc settlement along the way, if she was still alive, Myne thought while rubbing his chin with his hand.
Huh? What is this noise? Just as Myne thinking about his next course of action, he suddenly a lot of noise from behind him, it sounded quite chaotic as if a lot of animals running together.
After hearing the noise, Myne quickly turned back, but after seeing sense behind him, all hire on his body immediately stood up in fright. Because hundreds of different kinds of animals and weak monsters are running at their full speed toward his direction as if they are some kind of ghost or maybe something more dangerous than a ghost chasing them from behind. But one thing that is common in all those creatures is that they are all running in fear.
As Myne was inspecting the situation, those scare creatures of course didn't wait for him and already come close to him, and if Myne didn't side away from their way, then Myne probably become meat paste under their mighty feet.
"Damn! Whose wretched face did I see after waking up this morning that my day going so badly?" Myne angrily curses his luck and quickly uses his Double Jump skills to get high enough to see the real situation to know why the creatures are running away in such a hurry.
But after seeing real the crisis, his eyes nearly pop out of his sockets, because unknowingly to him, the fire he starts accidentally just some minutes ago, has now already taken a very dangerous form. Let's not talk about the place where the fire starts which already had turned ash, but even the surrounding 1 km areas are also burning continuously without showing any sight of stopping, and the fire becoming more and more fierce with every passing second. Clearly, a fire that starts with magic skills is not a joke, and today Myne also proved that a sword in the hand of a monkey would always bring disaster to its owner. Although Myne is not a monkey and his situation has nothing to do with this proverb, but his deeds are the same as that monkey, both of them only know how to make trouble.
Shit, this is becoming more and more troublesome now, Myne thought with a frown and after landing on the ground. He again cast Double Jump and starts looking around, to see if he could do anything in the situation after all this mess is created by him, so it is his responsibility to at least try to solve this.
Roarrrr...
Just as Myne was forcing his little brain to think of any solution, suddenly he heard some familiar noises from near the fire.
Myne hurriedly looked at the source of sound and found that a team of 10 Orcs are standing in front of the fire and using various methods to put out the fire. One Orc who seems like a magician was creating a water jet from his hands and sparing the water on the fire, while another one who also has some kind of Earth-related magic skill, made two big sand hands from land and while controlling them he grab a lot of sand from the ground in his giant hands and throw it on the fire.
But what made Myne angry was that Only those two Orcs are really doing something useful against the fire while the other 8 Orcs which are probably henchmen of these two powerful orcs either cheering them in order to rise their morale and so they didn't have to do anything or just stand some distance away from them while discussing something with each other.
"How can I forget about them, their settlement is just 2 km away from the fire so of course, Orcs will naturally do something about the fire, otherwise, they will also have to face a lot of trouble, especially if other people find out about them, but still wasn't those guys taking this whole matter a little bit too lightly? In order to quench this level of big fire they just send two low-level magicians and 8 cannon fodder?? Are they really think that those guys can put down this fire on their own???" Myne said with a puzzled expression.
Still in order to see the whole matter that how those Orcs are going to put out the fire, Myne landed on a big tree and start watching the show from a high angle, but soon he saw something which left him completely bewildered.
Those two Orcs who were trying to quench the fire other 8 Orcs who came to cheer them, without anyone knowing, they are surrounding by the fire from all directions, and as it took them a bit of time to realize that they are f*ck up, the fire had already become so dense that even with both Orcs Magicians combine effect they can't open a passage to escape from encirclements of the fire.
Like a caged pig, who was nowhere to escape from the hands of the butcher, those Orcs also can only cry for help after being surrounded by the fire, and soon like a butcher, the fire also devours them alive without any mercy.
Myne can only watch everything with a helpless and sad expression on his face, after all, at the end of the day those Orcs can also become his experience point and source of his new skills but now not only they didn't quench the fire not even a little bit they themselves become the fuel of their fire.
Sigh, those two wonderful skills, what a waste, Myne thought while shaking his head helplessly with some sadness in his eyes. But suddenly Myne felt a warm and cool energy spreading all over his body while strengthing every part of his body a little bit little.
"Huh? This feeling...Am I becoming powerful?" Myne said confusedly and after thinking something he hurriedly open his status...

"F*ck!!! Directly leveled up 19 to 29? But how the hell did this happened?? I didn't kill anyone after igniting this fire," Myne exclaimed confusedly but then he suddenly thought something and stared at the big fire in front of him.
"Since this fire is made from my skills' accidental combinations, then doesn't that means that technically this is a super large-scale attack of my skills? And all the demons that die from this fire will become my experience points?? Also if it is really true then doesn't that means if this fire burn down the entire forest and all those powerful monster live in it, then my levels would rise to the speed of lighting and I would soon become the most powerful person in this entire kingdom??" Myne said with eyes wide open in excitement while jumping up and down on the branch of the tree on which he was standing, while daydreaming about his upcoming bright future.
Roarrrrrr...
But as always Myne's happiness didn't last long, as he was nonstop jumping on the tree like a monkey, suddenly an extremely loud roar come from the center of the forest, loud enough that for a moment the entire forest start shaking like a big volcano was about to erupt.
After that rumble, for a moment suddenly everything became completely silent, whether it was a monster or an animal living in the forest or the people doing their work in the surrounding areas of the forest, all turned their heads towards that direction from where that angry roar come. Myan too, who has come out of his daydream, turns his head toward the direction of the voice with a horrified expression on his face.
And just as Myne was thinking of running out from the forest, he saw a big blue magic circle around 20 meters big, unknowingly suddenly appeared on the top of the fire, and was slowly spinning there quietly, and its speed was increasing with every passing second.
"Now, what the hell this shit is? And what was that roar dangerous sound, I never heard it before??" Myne spoke with an ugly expression on his face.
As if that magic circle heard Myne's question, in order to give Myne a reply suddenly unknown words on it started shining in dazzling light, and then out of thin air it release a huge amount of water from it.
Thudd...
Like water falling from a waterfall, a lot of water is released from that magic circle, and within some seconds it quenches half of the fire and ruins Myne's wish of becoming the strongest person in the kingdom without any effect, but what made Myne speechless is that all the water release from the magic circle turned into a 5-meter big water wave, and now coming toward his way, with extremely high speed.
"F*ck, why do these kinds of things always happen to me, damn it," Myne said angrily as he jumped down from the tree, but because he was complaining about his misfortune, he did not pay attention to the ground before jumping from the tree, and while Myne was waiting to touch the hard ground, his feet suddenly touch something soft.
Because of this unexpected surprise, Myne only flat that he touch something soft, before he loses his balance and fells directly face down on the ground.
"Ahhh...
"Ah, my nose, what trouble have I set foot on now?" Myne said cryingly, with some tears in his eyes, while clutching his nose, but when looking back he saw his old enemy, the Mutton sheep, and that too not one but a whole bunch of them.
It turns out that while Myne was standing in the tree, a group of Mutton sheep were passing under his tree, but because of that thunderous roar, they became extremely frightened, and instead of running out of the forest, they just stayed in their place like a frozen mannequin and did not dare to move even a bit. And when they saw a huge tsunami-like wave coming towards them, they finally came out of their daze and started walking again, and at that moment Myne also jumped down from the tree in a hero-like manner without looking down and accidentally fell on a baby Mutton Sheep, and because of that both of them got hurt a little bit.
Do you believe me if say that this is just an accident? Myne said with a forced smile while looking at a big Mutton Sheep who looks like the father of that baby Mutton Sheep and now staring at him with red eyes.
"Baaaaaa...
"I'm sorry..." That's the last word Myne said before the Mutton sheep banged its iron-like head hard on Myne's stomach and tossed me towards the water wave, and was happily swallowed by a huge flood of water.
