Chapter 269: Flaming Frequency
Agiel crashed through the large window on he side of the building, and she quickly got to her feet and jumped up to slam into the roof of the house!
BOOM!
Agiel was able to tear the entire top of the building off from its foundation, and she roared as she spun around and threw the building at the dragon! Agiel blasted off after the building, and she quickly spun to the side when the dragon used its fire breath to destroy the entire structure! Agiel leapt from the dragon’s blind spot, and her mouth split into a wicked grin once again as she drew her fist back right beside the dragon’s face.
"Grit your fucking teeth!"
SLAM!
Agiel slammed her fist into the dragon’s face with all her strength, and she was rewarded with a pained grunt as the dragon’s head snapped back! The dragon flapped its wings to try and restabilize itself, and the dragon rider felt fury grow in his heart once he saw what happened to his dragon! Agiel’s grin only widened when she saw how much damage she had done, but Agiel wasn’t able to bask in her victory at all as she saw the dragon suddenly turn its eyes toward her again! There was red-hot fury burning in those eyes as the dragon roared in agitation, and Agiel cursed as she quickly tucked her body into a ball and used her mana to protect herself as a blast of fire slammed into her!
BOOOMMM!!!
Agiel immediately felt her mana drop significantly, and she grit her teeth as she felt the intense heat threatening to tear through her defenses! Even though Agiel had extraordinary control over her mana and possessed one of the strongest defenses in the Enforcers, it still felt like she was standing right under the exhaust of a freaking rocket! She tightened her hands into fists as she slowly forced her mind to relax and ignored the intense pain that was coursing through her!
The heat was unbearable, and Agiel could already feel her skin and clothes burning from the intense flames—but this was the best chance she would get! If she wanted to learn how to match the frequency of fire, then there was no better time than when she was surrounded by the flames of a literal dragon!
Agiel’s ability allowed her to perform destructive interference with any non-living entity she came into contact with. But before she could carry out the destructive interference, Agiel first needed to learn the frequency of an object and match it perfectly with her own mana! This was only possible because Agiel’s body had evolved to read vibrations far more easily than any other organism in the world! Even though no one else could feel the vibrations in an object, Agiel’s body could tell her exactly how that object was vibrating—it was almost like the object was singing to her, and her body was matching every fucking pitch!
But for fire, Agiel needed to change her approach slightly. Fire was the only element that acted like it had a life of its own, and that was why it was so difficult for her to match its frequency with her body!
Agiel slowly began to let go of everything she had ever learned about how her abilities worked. Agiel had been trying to do the same thing all this while, and it hadn’t worked, so she didn’t care about that anymore! Instead, Agiel simply allowed her body to feel the flames around her. The vibration of the air as the fire surrounded her was like music to her ears! The frequency of the heat passing through her body was like a symphony!
Agiel’s body slowly began to familiarize itself with the way the flames worked their way around and inside her, and her brow furrowed when she suddenly realized something about the flames—she had been thinking about it wrong all this time! The fire wasn’t acting like it was alive at all—it was the air that was making the fire act like it was alive! Agiel had been trying to match the frequency of one element all this time, and that was why she had been failing!
If she wanted to get this right, she needed to match the frequency of both fire and air and sync them perfectly! Agiel’s eyes widened in realization, and her mouth split into a mad grin.
’I got it!’
SLAM!
A tail suddenly slammed across Agiel’s body, and she was sent flying to the ground like a rocket! She crashed into the street and tore through the concrete like it was paper for more than five hundred meters before finally stopping! Smoke rose from Agiel’s burnt and battered body. Her uniform had been completely scorched by the fire, and she only had on a pair of shorts and a sports bra to keep her modesty.
Her skin was red and sore in various places, and her white hair was scattered and releasing a concerning amount of smoke. There were blisters running down her arm and neck, and a massive burn mark was covering her entire right arm. But even with all this, Agiel’s smile only grew wider! She slowly pulled herself to her feet and stood within the crater she had created. She grabbed the remnants of her uniform and tore them off since they were only going to slow her down, and she stood in only her shorts and sports bra with her lean, toned figure exposed.
ROARRR!
The dragon appeared once more with a loud roar, and Agiel’s smile only widened as she began to gather her mana around her! The dragon turned its head down and unleashed another wave of fire to finally get rid of her, but Agiel put both hands up and activated her Gift!
TWOOM!
A wave of mana shot out from Agiel’s hands at the exact same moment the fire reached her. She watched as the fire slammed into her vibrating mana with unbelievable force—and in the next moment, the fire vanished from existence!
Agiel felt pure excitement bubble up from deep inside her when she saw this happen, and she continued to unleash her mana to counter the flames! She did it! She freaking did it! The fire from the dragon began to die down, and Agiel couldn’t stop herself from laughing when she saw the look of shock on the faces of both the dragon and its rider! It was obvious they hadn’t expected her to counter the flames!
Agiel quickly checked her mana level to see just how much she had left. As an S Rank who depended on mana to use her Gift properly, she usually started any fight with about ten thousand units of mana. But after using so much to defend against the dragon’s flames and launch her own attacks, she was down to only about five thousand units!
Her mana was slowly recovering, but at this rate, she would run out before she could kill these bastards!
’Matching the frequency of both fire and air took more out of me than I thought. I’ll have to focus more on attacking with the rest of the mana I have. But now that they know I can counter the flames, it’ll be harder for them to attack recklessly. I need to take advantage of this chance!’
Agiel immediately charged forward while activating her Gift, and a wave of super-compressed air shot her up toward the dragon! The dragon rider drew his sword with a heavy glare on his face, and the dragon released a loud roar as they prepared for another confrontation!
