Lord of Fire is a Gamer

During his stay on Megumin's Divine Realm, Kunyo didn't just study alchemy.

Similarly, during his daily visits to cultural places on the Northern Water Tribe, Kunyo didn't just eat and laugh.

Lightbending.

He learned, or more accurately, created lightbending.

'Once again Gamer's System saves my ass.'

If he had a normal Gamer's system, his lightbending would be at level 1 and he couldn't do much with it.

But, thanks to his system and the world-setting, his lightbending was an extension of his firebending.

Lightbending counted as merely a technique of firebending, thus giving him lightbending proficency similar to his own firebending.

'Although I have insane proficiency with it, I have almost no experience in using it.' Kunyo thought.

Hearing her scream in pleasure and pain felt weirder than he thought.

'I almost felt a spark when I heard her scream like that! Damnit! Is she slowly and accidentally taming me into becoming her dom?'

''She's really dangerous. I have to finish this as soon as possible.''

Kunyo aimed his finger and shot out another beam of light.

''Aughm!'' another moan/groan came from the snowstorm.

'I obviously can't afford to kill the Spirit of Time. I hoped that I could persuade her into giving up after showing our difference in power, but bitch will just enjoy the beating. What do I do?'

On the other hand,

Kurumi's legs shook from the pleasure as the gaping hole on her thigh healed quickly.

'Tt-this bastard...'

'Fine! I will go all out as well! Let me see how long you can last against my full power!' she was furious at him for daring to increase her curse's power. She decided to go as far as she could without angering a bunch of busybody spirits.

Suddenly, Kunyo felt something was wrong.

'Is snow falling... slower?'

He looked down at his system.

[Debuffs:

Cold Environment: -10% Physical capabilities, -30% Firebending capabilities.

Time Zone: Time passes 3 times slower compared to the normal planet.]

His eyes widened as he realized what Kurumi had done.

----

Kurumi grinned victoriously as she felt her ability in effect.

'Since you dodged all my attacks, how about something you can't dodge?'

She had created a domain. In this domain, everything was slower, except her.

'And when I speed myself up...'

Now, time was 15 times on her side, compared to Kunyo.

She could actually see the snowflakes slowly falling to the ground.

''Heh.'' she disappeared from her previous location, suddenly appearing in front of Kunyo.

Kunyo's instincts and eyes reacted fast, seeing her coming before even she arrived despite her incredible speed.

A ray of light came out of his left index finger, aiming directly towards her lungs.

'Do you think you can keep using that move and expect me to fall for it again?!'

Kurumi wasn't fast enough to dodge the light, but similar to Kunyo, she could see the trajectory of it before even it was fired.

'Weak point of your super fast light attacks is, they are completely one-directional and straight.' she analyzed calmly despite her raging heart and weak legs.

She was already out of the trajectory just when it was fired.

'You need a very small amount of time of preparation to shoot that.'  She sighed in relief. 'If it was actually instantly shot, I would have lost already.'

As she was focused on avoiding the light attack from Kunyo, she didn't see his right leg slightly shifting up.

Suddenly, his leg recoiled back with enough power to almost break it as a blade of pressurized fire got released from its forefoot.

Small blade of fire was only as big as Kunyo's forefoot and five toes, but it was still big enough to slice through her small leg, from just below her kneecap.

Kurumi's eyes widened in alarm as the pain came before even she could see it happen.

''Mghm!'' She bit her lip to stop a moan.

'It hurts! Why do I feel like this despite feeling every ounce of pain?' she asked a question to herself but quickly threw it to the back of her head. It wasn't the time to question that now.

Just as Kunyo was about to fall down due to his right leg going back enough to kick his own butt, he released a small combustion from his knee to keep himself in balance.

During all of that, his left hand wasn't idling around.

It was almost ready to send out an attack similar to what his leg sent out.

'This will damage my arm, but it's nothing a potion can't heal.'

A similarly small and powerful pressurized blade of fire was sent out of his four fingers, aiming for Kurumi's other leg.

Despite losing her leg and going through mind numbing mix of pain and pleasure, Kurumi was still sane and quick enough to lift her leg as she saw his four fingers glow for a second, alerting her about the next attack.

She jumped on her remaining leg, but despite her speed, she wasn't nearly fast enough to avoid the attack.

The blade of fire that was supposed to cut off her only leg just below her kneecap stopped right in front of her ankle.

...

She sighed a relief after a moment.

'Damnit! I can only use time-stop once a day and he forced me into using it already!' she thought as she got away from the fire blade.

An angry glint went past her eyes.

''This won't kill you.'' She said as she brought both of her hands in front of his face. ''But I can't guarantee your sanity after this!''

Both of her hands recoiled at the same time, as she tried to imprison him for 1000 years inside his own mind.

----

Just as Kurumi's hands got in front of his face, Kunyo's eyes widened.

Without thinking, his neck moved to the side at a speed that would break a normal man's neck.

He dodged the invisible shot by a hair's breadth and his hands got to work as soon as the effect of the time-stop wore off.

His hands opened and he adjusted the flame that would go through his palms.

From almost point-blank, both his palms shot out rainbow-colored dragon fire that would exhaust their opponent as soon as they could.

-----

Kurumi's eyes widened as she saw him dodge the bullet, but her instinct screamed at her about something else. Her eyes wandered below and saw his palms open and directed towards herself.

She tried to get away as her leg had already healed, but it was too late.

Almost instantly, she got assaulted by intense pain as she burned alive.

With intense pain, came mind-breaking pleasure.

Her mind went numb for a second as if she couldn't even decide if she wanted to scream in agony or moan in pleasure.

Normally, she could have gotten away from the fire soon enough. It would eat lots of her stamina and chi, but she would be fine and she could continue the battle.

But the single second of hesitation cost her the battle.

As someone who lived for thousands of years, she had already grasped a few tricks for her abilities, like her time-reversion trick to heal herself, which was open all the time just in case she got surprise attacked.

Her trick didn't disappear even in her half-unconscious state.

She was in a constant loop of pain and pleasure, burning and healing, and couldn't get out anymore.

Kunyo's eyes widened in worry.

'No, this was supposed to last a few seconds at most. She will get mind-broken at this rate!'

Even though he didn't see himself as a hero, he still didn't want to literally break a girls mind with pleasure.

After a slight hesitation, he extinguished the flames.

In front of him lay a charred body with open dead eyes.

Name: Kurumi

Rank:S+

HP: 6%

INT:?

WIS:?

'Oh God oh fuck. What the fuck do you mean by '?' in her mental stats!?'

He knew she could heal from these injuries, but he wasn't sure about the mental ones.

He momentarily panicked before taking out a small bottle from his inventory.

Water from the Spirit Oasis can even almost bring back the dead.

Any injury can be healed with it as long as the victim isn't dead yet.

He poured the bottle on top of her forehead and took out another.

'I have 10 of these and since I'm in Northern Water Tribe, I can always restock. I can be as generous as I want to be.'

As he poured another bottle on her forehead, he slowly adjusted his flames.

'A little bit clumsy and crude, but it should be better than nothing.'

A gentle flame shot out of his finger and coiled around her head, slowly healing her mind.

Kunyo was already at a level in which he could practice with concepts rather than logic.

Adding his clear ideas and understanding of concepts into the dragon flame always met with good results.

Suddenly, I thought came into his mind.

'I didn't actually plan for this, but this should give me lots of bonuses on the mercy and heroism department huh?'

'What am I thinking at a moment like this...'

Mind breaking the girl was almost like killing her.

Although Kunyo killed women before, somehow in his mind breaking some person's mind was way worse than actually killing them.

'Too rapey.' and he thought before remembering something 'Damned Neet even liked this hentai-trope. Sure, it must be nice when you can just jerk off to it from a screen.'

'I wasn't even planning to kill her but killing or mind breaking her would have dire consequences. I got lots of bonuses in the relationship department thanks to the last mission, but I doubt I could escape the enmity of the spirits if I killed the Spirit of Time. Wait, wasn't she also the Goddess of Time? Does she have a small cult somewhere in the world?'

'Even though I didn't save her for the benefits, it's good that I still benefited from it haha. Gamer never loses.'
