Ouroboros Record ~Circus of Oubeniel~

Chapter 65: Burn, Volden 1 (5)

Eventually, she made her way to the store and pulled something out of her pocket. It was several corked test tubes. The tubes were filled with an unidentifiable solution.

She threw them out at regular intervals. The sound of crushing and fizzling could be heard, but nobody else was there to hear.

The wheat vaporised or dissolved into the ground quickly.

Then, Uni muttered quietly.

"......Ignite."

A tiny flame was created above her raised index finger. This was a basic fire spell. She was not good at fire magic. The amount of magic power in her body was in the realm of the inhuman, but even so, she could not overcome her weaknesses in some attributes. When it came to manipulating flames, her master, who was probably far inferior in terms of combat power, was much more skilled. Though for Drei, she was able to control the four major attributes of earth, water, fire, and wind, and for Seis, who specialised in magic, she could use all seven attributes. This was a talent that Uni, being adept in only two attributes, was lacking.

That's why she relied on these tools to aid her.

Go-o-o-o-o-o!

A huge blaze erupted in the blink of an eye.

"This incendiary solution, Greekfire. Hm, its pretty good."

Uni assessed as the hot wind ruffled her bangs.

The solution that she poured and ignited was one of the prototypes of the magic weapon that was originally intended to be given to Opus 05 Fem. It was a magical oil created by alchemy that spread vaporised fuel over a wide area to ignite and burn an entire battlefield instantly. In addition, because it burned at such a high temperature, if water was carelessly poured on it, it could break water into hydrogen and oxygen and intensify the fire. A flame that cannot be extinguished with water was nothing but a nightmare for those who wanted to put down the fire.

The flames roared in the sky and rose up as a pillar of flames.

If this was the case, the supplies gathered at this depot would soon be burned to the ground. For the St. Gallen army, which relied on looting for supplies, this would be a greater blow than having 10,000 soldiers killed.

Satisfied, she quickly turned back.

"There's a fire!"

"T-the supplies ...... the food is on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire! We must extinguish the fire as soon as possible!"

She walked out of the encampment, passing the soldiers who had rushed in noisily. No one was looking at her. The fire burning high in the sky, an unavoidably eye-catching presence, caught everyone's attention and they focused solely on it. It was only natural that a well-trained servant who knew how to bring out the best in her master would be able to strut openly in the midst of everyone else. That's what Uni thought, and that's what she actually did.

Later on, the St. Gallen army tried to gather evidence for the culprit for the fire, but not one of them mentioned the outlandish and unusual story of seeing a maid wearing a collar in the camp. Once she had left the encampment and deemed herself far enough away, Uni looked back. Her lips quivered as she looked at the flames that still burned.

"This is the start of our counterattack, isn't it, Master?"
