Jaune gritted his teeth and did as he was told to.

He stabbed the knife into his leg. It was so painful that he wanted to cry. He didn't have any experience with being stabbed, but he knew that it shouldn't be that painful.

He was about to pull out the knife, but something miraculous happened.

The knife had melted and come inside his leg. His injury was gone.

"W-What happened, Ciel?!"

[Don't worry, host. You just absorb the curse of death. You can now use its power as your own! There's no rule that says the host can't absorb it. Now it belongs to the host forever!]

Jaune heard that and felt ecstatic. He just got something permanent from gold rank by just paying with silver coins.

"That's great! Can you tell me if there is anything else like this?"

[Ciel can tell the host, but Ciel thinks that the host should finish it first. Otherwise, we won't be able to talk more comfortably.]

Jaune nodded. He looked at Ifrit, who realized that there was something wrong with him. He didn't come and attack him mindlessly like before.

"It looks like you have noticed, but it's already too late. Heh."

Jaune shot toward Ifrit and attacked him with a water breathing spear style. Ifrit tried to dodge this time because he felt that the attack was dangerous to his life.

And it was as he had thought. The spear pierced through his arm. He felt so much pain and jumped back. There was so much blood coming out of his arm.

The blood was like lava, it melted everything that touched it.

"You are a hot blood spirit, right? Hehe, I don't want to pun, though."

Roar!!!

Ifrit knew that he was looking down on him. He was really angry, but he knew that if he were to confront him head on the one who would be killed was him.

Ifrit is a king of fire, and even if he is killed, He will respawn again, but it took so much time.

Jaune watched Ifrit with caution. Even though he tried to act like he didn't take him seriously, he knew the moment he was careless. He could be killed instantly.

Those fires were hotter than before. He wasn't sure if his water breathing spear would be enough to cancel the fire.

Ifirt was ready to attack him again, but this time he used much more power than before. The surrounding area was starting to get hotter and hotter.

[Oh no. Host, please run away as fast as you can. He was going to use the limit breaks!]

"Limit breaks? Seriously! I don't know what that is, but the name already tells it all!"

Jaune, with his thunder breathing technique, moved away from there as fast as possible.

Ifrit was not ignited into flame. He looked where Jaune had gone before rushing at him with high speed. The floor where he stepped burst into flame, leaving a trail of fire behind.

"So fast!"

[Host! Ifrit had used all of his mana in order to kill the host. He used hellfire! The fire that can burn everything to ashes!]

"What should I do?! If I were to be hit by him. I will become ashes!"

Jaune didn't think that Ifrit would have something akin to the ultimate move.

[Host... before anything, Ciel has to say sorry first, but please understand and don't be panicked after this, okay.]

Jaune didn't know what Ciel was going to do, but he knew that she didn't mean any harm to him. Then Jaune felt something inside him break out.

He vomited a large amount of water before the water began to take the shape of a beautiful woman.

The woman who came out of his mouth looked at Ifrit in contempt. She then flipped her hand and froze everything in her path. Ifrit, who was confident that he could kill Jaune, was frozen along with his flame.

"Humph, Just a lesser spirit dares to show off your little power in front of my master!"

The woman then snapped her finger before the frozen Ifrit was destroyed and became just ice dust particles.

Jaune looked at the woman who had come out of him. He felt so much pain, but he didn't pass out.

The woman who saw Jaune felt so much pain that she panicked. She then grabbed his head before kissing him on the lips. She began to change into water and went inside his mouth.

Jaune felt better after she went inside him.

"W-What happened, A-And is that you, Ciel!"

Ciel didn't reply, Jaune was feeling dreadful and was about to ask again, but he heard Ciel speak first. This time, her voice was so robotic.

...

Zack, who was now heading to the base, felt that his connection with Ifrit had been cut off. He was very shocked that Jaune would be able to defeat Ifrit by himself.

Zack wondered how strong Jaune really was. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of admiration and concern for Jaune's abilities.

Zack knew he would have to be more cautious and prepared if he ever had to face Jaune in a battle again. And it would be very soon.

"I need to reach the base faster."

Zack used speed materia to make him move faster. He didn't use it earlier because he had already used so much mana on summoning Ifrit. Who would have thought that Jaune would defeat Ifrit so quickly?

Zack reached the base and was shocked at the destruction Jaune's companion had caused, but luckily no one died.

Zack quickly assessed the situation and realized that Jaune's companion must possess formidable powers as well.

He knew he would need to come up with a strategic plan to counter their combined strength.

And as he thought about how to deal with them, He heard the sound of metal bending. He then looked at the satellite tower that was located at the center of the base.

"Oh shit"

The satellite tower was bent and destroyed. What materia did they use so they could bend metals like that!

Zack's heart jumped as he witnessed the destruction caused by their mysterious power. It was clear that their abilities went beyond anything he had encountered before.

He realized that defeating them would require not only a strategic plan, but also a deeper understanding of the source and nature of their formidable powers.
