Chapter 18: Stiyl Magnus, the fire magician.
The group is looking at thr man in front of them, they could tell that he's apparently a threat that could be a danger of them.
"I didn't expect that i would meet a whole group here, well whatever." The man said before he looked at index, "Looks like we went overboard this time."
"Overboard, you say?!" Kotaru growled.
"Why?" Touma trailed off.
"Why she come back here?" The man interrupted, "Who knows, maybe she went back to pick something that was left here."
Touma snapped as he remembers that Index left her hood inside his room.
"Damn idiot." Touma growled, getting angry.
"How could you do something like this even to a lottle girl." Kuroko said angrily.
"Just what do you magician think you're doing?" Hondo asked angrily at him.
"Simple, us magician decide to shelter her." The magician revealed
"Shelter her? But why?" Ruiko asked.
"That's right. Shelter her. Those grimoires inside her head, Index has in her possession are dangerous if a human such as yourself, were you to even look over one volume you would surely die. No matter how goodhearted she may be, she cannot stand up to torture and drugs that the people who were after the books would inflict upon her."
Meanwhile everyone didn't notice that Misaka began to sparked except for Touma, he immediately touch misaka shoulder using his right hand and told her that she might accidentally hurt index.
"My name is stiyl Magnus, my magic name was fortis931." The magician introduced himself, he throws his cigarrete to the more opened area and it burst into a giant fire which caught everyone off guard. As the fire explode, stiyl raised his hand on top of him, gather a fire flowing on top of his palm.
"So this is... Magic?" Touma asked to himself.
"This is really intense." Hondo said.
Kotaru know that this might be bad for index since she's right behind them still unconscious and injured at the same time. He create a barrier around the wounded girl to make sure she's safe.
Touma also wondered if his right hand could negate this kind of power, his hand could negate anything supernatural, but he wasn't sure if it's gonna work against magic.
"The gift pain for the giant!" Stiyl roared as he launched a powerfull fire blast towards the group.
Touma scretched his right hand in front of him try to protect everyone. The whole hall is filled with so many fire flowing.
"Did i overdo it?" Stiyl asked to himself, showing a mini flame on his hand, "Poor kids. Oh well, those kids should have known how dangerous their situation at right now. Besides, the result will be the same no matter how many times this is repeated."
Stiyl turned around and began to walk away, but he stopped when a voice interrupted.
"Who," Touma began to talk.
Stiyl was suprised when he heard that voice, he looked at the smoke behind him. As the smoke was cleared, it shows that the group was fine, didn't get any scratch at all. He saw that Touma is holding his right hand in front of him.
"Who are you saying can't win no matter how many times we tried huh?" Tpuma asked mockingly, he also remembered ehat his right hand did to index walking church. "That's right, why would i be scared? This right hand was the one that ripped that walking church."
"Of course you don't need to be scared you idiot," Misaka huffed, "Besides, we're a group of espers here, we don't need to worry on beating that bastard now."
"That's right Kamijou-senpai, you don't need to be worried at all, we got your back." Uiharu said reassuringly.
"Why you little!" The magician pissed, he prepare to throw another fire bladt at them, Touma blocked the fire with his right hand and squashed the fire with his palm, a sound of familiar glass dhattering was heard along with the fire shattered into pieces.
Stiyl was shocked that his attack just got shattered by the boy in front of him. Now he understand something, he muttered, "I see, i get it now. The onr that destroy the ealking church was him."
Touma walked slowly approaching the magician, followed with Kotaru, Misaka, Hondo, and Kuroko. Uiharu and Ruiko decide to stay back, make sure to keep index safe.
Suddenly the magician began to chanting, "One of the five major elements which make up this world," a fire began to spinning around him on the floor which made the group stopped from their tracks, "the great fire of genesis, the light of blessing which nurture life.." a high amount of fire began to hovered above stiyl's palm above him, "and the light of judgement that punishes evil. While it brings a gentle fortune, at the same time it's the frosty misfortune which annihilate the whole darkness." As soon as he finish that word, the fire began to burst, "It's name is fire. It's role, the sword! Show yourself by devouring my body and show your might! INNOCENTIUS!" As he finished chanting, a monster of fire appeared above stiyl, everyone take one step back, a chill went through their spine as they saw the monster in front of them.
"The witch hunting pope, Innocentius." Stiyl explain, "It's meaning, 'Kill thy enemy'."
The monster began to attack by throw a punch towards the group, Touma swung his right hand to the right while he said, "Out of the way!" With that, the monster has turned into a bunch of normal flames flowing go behind the group.
"That was easier than i expected." Kuroko said cocky.
"Is that all you got magician?" Misaka said mockingly.
But everyone see that Stiyl gave them a smirk instead of scared expression. Kotaru felt something bright coming from behind them, he along with Touma looked behind and saw the fire gather and become innocentius again.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Hondo said cursedly.
"That thing is still alive!?" Kuroko asked in disbelieve.
The monster summoned a fire cross on it's right hand and instantly swing them towards Touma. Touma use his right hand to block it's attack, but what he didn't expect was the attack keep regenerating after it was negated by Touma.
Seeing Touma get pushed back, Kotaru spawned his racket and infuse it with electricity while Hondo covered both of his hands with a brown and yellow stone and then the yellow part change to blue color after the stone resonated with his hydro power. After that, both of them help Touma blocked the attack.
Misaka saw that the monster was wide open from it's behind, so she told Kuroko to teleport them behind the monster. As Kuroko teleported her and Misaka behind the monster, misaka reach the coin inside her pocket, flick it to the air. As the coin finally fall down, she fired her railgun attacking the monster, she also make sure to not hit Kotaru, Touma, and Hondo on the other side.
The group was relieved that the monster has a hole in it's chest, but they celebrate too soon when the monster instantly grew back it's flaming body so fast.
"Damn it," Misaka cursed, "Is it impossible to kill this monster?"
"The rune." A voice interrupted. Kuroko, Misaka, Uiharu, and Ruiko looked at where that voice coming from and they shocked to see that Index was the one to talk.
"A 24-letter alphabets that indicates 'secret', 'mystique', a magical language used by germanic people starting in the 2nd century AD. The roots of old english. Attacking Innocentius was not effective, walls, floors, ceiling." Index john pen mode explained, "As long as the runes in the area wasnt erase, it will rekindle itself endless times."
"You're... Index right?" Uiharu asked.
"Yes," Index answered, "I am associated with the zeroth church sector with english purritan church, the 'Necessarius'. I am it's grimoire's library. My official name is index librorum prohibitum. But in short, index will do. I am currently operating under automatic secretary, john pen mode."
"So in order to beat innocentius, we have destroy it's rune, correct?" Kuroko asked.
"Yes, that's right," Index john pen mode confirmed, "The runes were scattered below us, so destroy those runes in order to beat innocentius."
"Okay then," Kuroko said, she know what she have to do now, "Onee-sama, i will find these runes and destroy them, i leave the rest to all of you."
Misaka gave Kuroko a nod as she said, "Alright Kuroko, i'm counting on you."
,Kuroko gave her a smile before she teleported on the floor below them.
"Okay then, let's buy some time for Shirai-san destroying those runes." Ruiko said as she picking herself up and walk towards the monster afterwards.
"Saten-san?" Misaka and Uiharu asked, didn't know what Ruiko gonna do..
After Ruiko is close to innocentius, she gather both of her hands in front of her and use her anemo vision power to throw a powerfull wind towards innocentius which somehow manage to knocked innocentius went above Kotaru, Touma, and Hondo who's been blocking Innocentius away for a long time.
Stiyl saw innocentius was sent flying towards him, so he ran away a few meters where innocentius falls to the floor.
"Nice job, Ruiko-chan." Kotaru praised her.
"Thanks Kotaru-kun, i can't just let myself just standing behind to watch all of you fight this monster." Ruiko said, pumping her fist.
"Same here, so ready to continue fight this guy?" Misaka says as she create a thunder sword on her hand.
"Of course i would, besides i already involved with this from the beginning right?" Touma said as he began at his stance.
"Damn right! I guess it's time to spice it up." Kotaru said, he project a blue handle sword with a red orb in the middle of the handle with a red white colored iron with his virtual watch ehich has infused with Kotaru's wind and thunder element.
"Chaaarge!" Hondo let out a war cry.
The group charge towards Innocentius fighting the monster. Kotaru and Misaka has a role to block the monster cross while Touma, Hondo, and Ruiko has a role to pushing back Innocentius from above using Hondo power create a platform that was high enough to be in front of innocentius face also Hondo and Touma use their powers to erase innocentius body everytime with the body regenerate itself.
While the battle is getting intense, Kuroko finds out where the runes was located in the building, which apparently has too many runes sticking on the wall, ceiling and the floor itself. Kuroko finds out that the runes writing used a ink on a small paper whcih gave Kuroko an idea how to destroy these runes easily. She immediately find a room with emergency fire extinguisher alarm, she turned on the alarm and it made the whole floor in the building turn on their emergency fire extinguisher on the ceiling on every floors.
As the group catching their breaths, suddenly a water coming from above them made everyone suprised.
"What the?" Kotaru suprised by the sudden fire extinguisher was activated.
"Who just turned on the fire extinguisher?" Touma asked.
Misaka eyes widened as she realised who did this, she tell her friends, "It must be Kuroko's idea."
"Is this also her idea to destroy the runes?" Ruiko asked.
"Runes?" The boys asked.
"Yeah that's right, Innocentius was summoned using a ruins scattered below the floor under us." Misaka explained, "which is why i told Kuroko to find and destroy those runes."
"A clever plan i could say." Hondo said feeling amused.
"What is this? A tactic to beat innocentius?" Stiyl asked in confusion.
"That's right." A voice answered as they heard the teleportation sound as well.
"You kids are really stupid, " Stiyl mocked, "Innocentius is a block of 3000 degree celcius of fire, now kill them."
"Kamijou-san, destroy Innocentius now!" Kuroko said.
With no further encouragement, Touma punch innocentius who tried to attack Touma and with that done, innocentius has shattered into a fire pieces.
"No way! How is it possible? My runse haven't been destroyed yet!" Stiyl said in disbelieve tone.
"What about the ink mr sorcerer?" Kuroko pointed out, "The ink on the paper will be washed away even if those papers can't be destroyed by the water."
Stiyl began to panic and try to call innocentius again and again and of course theres no respond to them.
"Kamijou-senpai, finish him." Kotaru said to him.
"No need to tell me twice." Touma fired back as he slowly approaching Stiyl as Stiyl try to chanting and Touma started to run towards Stiyl.
Stiyl who's trying to call innocentius in panic, has finally feared Touma who's running towards him now.
As Touma running towards him, he muttered to himself, "If i don't want to dragged to the depths of hell, then i'll just drag her away from Hell!" As soon as he said that, Touma punch stiyl in the face knocked Stiyl to the floor which made Stiyl fall unconscious.
After Touma catch his breath, he look towards the group who gave him a smile of victory after what they just claimed including Uiharu who is helped by Saten carrying Index wounded and unconscious body.
Touma smiled at them, giving a thumbs up to all of them, now they needed to find a safe place for index.
