Clara's flame itself is already hot enough. Just sitting in the sauna, you can feel the hot air covering all sides of your body. Ashes has also taken off his clothes and is wearing underpants at some point.

Sitting on the seat in the sauna...

As for Cocytus, that guy has an armor-like exoskeleton that cannot be taken off. In short, this guy has no clothes~

Looking at the ashes with enjoyment on his face, Cocytus frowned slightly and sat on the other side of the sauna in a similar manner.

Seeing Cocytus sit down, Hui Jin smiled slightly, then raised his hand and picked up the stone he had prepared in advance, threw it into the steaming stove, smiled at Cocytus and said, "I don't know how.

What kind of water attribute magic, so the rest of the matter will be left to you~ Just add water to make the water vapor here more, add it until you can't bear it and want to leave!"

"What a shame!" Cocytus snorted coldly, then raised his paw and pointed it at the burned stone. A row of ice crystals appeared from mid-air and landed on the stone almost instantly.

, it melted into water, and then turned into water vapor...

The sauna that was originally just a little hot was suddenly filled with water mist. The temperature of the steam that had just evaporated was not too high, and it even felt a little comfortable~

"No wonder Ainz-sama said that this activity is good for physical and mental health. It is indeed a joyful activity...it makes people want to relax."

"Oh~ This is the only point where I admire Ainz! I didn't expect him to come up with such a good idea. I thought you were really going to start a mindless duel with me... He still cares about that guy very much.

He doesn’t care about the lives of his subordinates~ He doesn’t look like the kind of person who would treat his subordinates’ lives as pawns to test my strength. He’s not bad~ I’m impressed by him!”

Hearing Ashes praising Ainz, Cocytus exhaled a breath of cold air, lowering the temperature in the sauna room, and then said excitedly, "Of course! Lord Ainz is the supreme being, possessing supreme power and

Supreme benevolence! He is the master to whom we are loyal!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Just talk, don't get excited, and don't get cold, the temperature has dropped~"

"Ah...yeah, sorry, let's do it again!" Saying this, Cocytus used magic again, summoned ice cubes, threw them on the hot stones, and turned them into water vapor.

The temperature in the sauna has gone up to a higher level.

This time the temperature of the water vapor has risen a little bit. After all, it is the flame of Great Teacher Clara. Although it is not as high as the temperature that the ashes can release, this temperature is already frightening enough...

Cocytus can also feel the influence of this hot and humid air on him... With every breath, hot water vapor pours into his lungs along his nasal cavity, gradually raising the temperature of his body from the inside out...

This made him a little uncomfortable. Although he has one of the best abnormal resistances in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, but... the temperature here is extremely high, and it is full of water vapor. If you are an ordinary person, you may even burn your lungs.

…

Confirming that this temperature was already the limit that mortals could withstand, Cocytus once again turned his gaze to the ashes aside. In Cocytus' view, although the man in front of him had powerful momentum and strength, he was still

A flesh and blood body cannot withstand such high temperatures for too long~

But when Cocytus saw that Ashes' face was full of contentment and that he hadn't even shed a drop of sweat on his body, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Are you...really a mortal body?"

Looking at Beetle who couldn't bear to ask him a question, Ashes couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said calmly, "Well...how should I put it? Although I say that I am a human being, in fact, I also know that it is just me.

It's just wishful thinking and stubbornness. My body and my soul have long been beyond the reach of human beings. I can understand your doubts."

Having said this, Hui Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, looked Cocytus up and down, and then smiled slightly and said, "What? You can't stand it anymore? If you can't stand it, don't force it~ This is after all

The Great Teacher's Flame... To be honest, the sauna you chose is my strong point! Although I don't know how high the abnormal attribute resistance you are proud of is, but there is a limit, right? And I

My body is immune to all high temperatures, so... you can't beat me."

"For the glory of Lord Ainz, for the glory of Nazarick, I cannot lose..." As he spoke, Cocytus summoned ice cubes again, raising the temperature in the sauna to a new level.

high!

Looking at Cocytus who was forcing himself, Hui Jin couldn't help but chuckle, and then said calmly, "Don't force yourself~ There's no need to be so serious. After all, I don't have any ill intentions towards you, it's just a chance encounter. Just treat it as yourself."

Let’s exercise…”

Hearing this, Cocytus suddenly turned his head curiously, looked at Ashes and asked with some confusion, "No... malice? Indeed, I can feel that you are just provoking in a playful mood.

We...I can't understand."

"You have said it~ I am teasing you in a playful mood. Yes, that's it. The reason... is very simple~ My lover wants me to play the role of a student and relax well to prepare for the decisive battle later. I don't want

She's worried about me, so...please play with me for a little bit~ It's not just you, but also the other students in the class. It's not easy for everyone, so just relax here for a little bit, I think it's good."

"is that so?"

"Otherwise? If this were not the case, I would have started to destroy this world long ago, and then left here immediately... Let's not talk about this, you... can you still bear it? It's okay, you!"

Under Ashes' surprised gaze, Cocytus raised his arm and gently wiped the moisture on his face, then nodded gently and said, "I... can still persist, just like Lord Ainz said

Like that, this is a test of endurance. As a warrior, I cannot give up so easily..."

…

Outside the sauna, Demiurge stared at Clara's back with a gloomy look in his eyes.

That flame... is not something that ordinary people can display. The temperature is so high that even he, as a flame demon, cannot be exempted. However, such a scorching flame does not ignite the surrounding things. It is not only scorching, but also powerfully controlled.

Power, what is the origin of this woman...? Does the other woman next to her also have the same level of power...

The most important thing is, what kind of power does the ashes that can make them look upon them have?

Not only Demiurge, but Ainz could also feel the intensity of Klarna's flame. Looking at Klarna who kept burning the sauna, Ainz coughed slightly worriedly and asked, "Well...you flame

Is it really okay? Will it hurt your companions?"

Hearing this, Clara turned her head and glanced at Ainz, then lightly shrugged and said, "You are worried about your companion, right~ It doesn't matter, Little Ashes has a sense of proportion, he will not let anything happen to your companion."

…”

Hearing this, Demiurge suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at Clara and said word by word, "So you just concluded...that your companion will win?"

"This...I'm not saying that in this duel method you chose, Little Ashes has infinite advantages. I really can't say anything else, but in terms of withstanding high temperatures...it shouldn't be possible for anyone to be stronger than Little Ashes.

After all, to a certain extent, he is the absolute master of flames..."

"The name is Ash...the absolute controller of the flame? If that's the case...then our investigation is indeed not enough, and I was careless..."

"Ah, that's it. If I were you, I would probably compete with him in games or something like that. In this case, you might have some chance of winning. After all, that guy from Little Ashes is a big fan of food..."

"Um...isn't he your companion? Does it really matter if you tell us this kind of news?"

Hearing this, Clara rolled her eyes suddenly, and then said helplessly, "Anyway, it must have been this guy Little Ashes who started the trouble. He can cause so much trouble just by letting him take a vacation and relax, so it doesn't matter."

.”

Just when Ainz didn't know what to say next, and Clara continued to set fire to the sauna to heat up, suddenly a chirping sound came from the direction of the school...

"Why do you have to come to such a dangerous place! I'm telling you! Have you figured out the current situation?"

"Is there anything unclear! Isn't this a place where you can watch the undead being executed and gain a believer at the same time?"

"Is there anything unclear! Isn't this the place where I show the world my powerful explosion magic?"

"Um... I don't know, they... what kind of cruel methods they will use to deal with me... uh uh... just kill me!"

"It's over, it's hopeless, it's completely hopeless..."

Watching the three girls dragging their companions to the back of the school, Ainz narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and said, "If I remember correctly... this guy's name is Sato Kazuma, and the remaining three women

They are his companions, and one of them is a goddess... What are they doing here?"

"Maybe she wants to pick up the slack. After all, the goddess among them has never subsided from the beginning. She probably wants to take advantage of our duel with Ashes to eliminate us, but..."

Having said this, Demiurge turned his head and glanced at the sauna, which was still heating up but not moving at all, and showed a rather helpless expression...

Arriving at the so-called battlefield, Aqua looked at Ainz and his party who were intact, and said with some displeasure, "Why are you nothing? It can't be that the man who can see through my true identity has been defeated by you, right?"

! Damn it, am I a step too late?”

Hearing this, Ainz couldn't help but turn around, with an obscure aura exuding from his body, and said coldly to Aqua, "You seem...looking forward to our defeat!"

"Isn't that natural? Anyway, you undead people should just go back to the cemetery! Since the one named Ashes didn't succeed, let me do it myself!"

Saying this, Aqua raised her fist, looking eager to try... At this moment, there was a sudden sound of kicking the door, and everyone turned their heads involuntarily and looked at not far away.

That little house…

Watching the door slowly open, Ainz and the others eagerly waited for the outcome of this duel!

Seeing the scorching water steam pouring out from the opened door, everyone present was shocked... It turned out to be such a scorching high temperature!

Looking at the figure slowly walking out of the steam, Ainz frowned slightly. It was ashes, and he walked out of it...

Is it possible that he has given up? It was all a bluff before. Could he simply not be able to bear the high temperature?

But soon, a fact broke Ainz's illusion, because there was no trace of pain on the face of Ashes who came out of the steam. He was still so indifferent, even a little comfortable, and in his face

In his hand, he held one of Cocytus's arms...

"I told you, don't hold on~ If you try so hard, you will definitely faint... It's true, I actually chatted with a person who has already passed out for so long, it's true..."

Saying this, Hui Jin waved his hand, pulled Cocytus out from behind, and threw him directly in front of everyone.

Just like Ashes said, Cocytus has passed out. Although he is still alive, he is very miserable... His originally ice-blue body is now flushed for some reason, and he looks like he has been steamed.

Like a big crab.

"Have you passed out...Did you lose? Damn it, Cocytus, for letting Lord Ainz's high hopes fall by the wayside and the glory of Nazarick dimming!"

Ainz glanced at Albedo, who looked indignant, and then said with a serious face, "Stop talking nonsense, Albedo, it's normal for Cocytus to be unable to bear the high temperature. You should go there."

It’s the same thing, right…”

Looking at Cocytus who fell into a coma, Hui Jin raised his chin slightly and said to the fire prevention woman beside him, "This guy is quite easy to talk to me. Let's give him a little treatment!"

"As you wish, Master Ashes..." After saying this, the fireproof girl turned around, opened her hands, and performed a miracle in the direction of Cocytus~

Golden light enveloped Cocytus's body. The blush quickly faded, and Cocytus' body slowly returned to its original shape. Seeing this scene in front of him, Ainz put away the recovery potion he had taken out.

, then turned around and smiled at the fire prevention girl and said, "Oh? As expected of a health teacher, as expected... there are a few things."

"That's too much praise. I'm just following Lord Ashes' order to perform healing duties on Lord Ashes' behalf..."

"Well~ Even though it's a provocation, even though it's a duel, I don't want to put my classmates in the hospital on the first day I transfer here. And I admire this guy very much. Even if his consciousness is blurred, he has no intention of giving up.

Look at this guy's attitude, he refuses to admit defeat~ Even if he is steamed to death, he still has to protect your face... Although I don't agree with it, I don't hate this kind of behavior."

At this point, Ashes suddenly grinned and said loudly to the silent Ainz, "How? Does this count as my victory? Or do you want us to go back and steam this guy to death?"

Ainz raised his hand, shook it gently at the ashes twice and said, "No need, this time... is your victory, we will give Cocytus's seat to you..."
Chapter completed!
