Chapter 206 Flame Advent
After the chant, the blade in his hands released a terrifying orange, the temperature increased drastically, and it scorched the artificial cactuses in the surroundings and smokes started to come out from the blade furiously.
Fey took a step back unconsciously, then she saw the blade on her brother's hand turned into small flame sparks that scattered in every direction like an insect plague. And they dyed the entire fifty meters with their numbers so that when one looks at the ground, they would see orange lights.
Fein smiled when he saw the wonderful orange light that constantly flickered around him. He looked at the bladeless sword in his hand, because only the hilt remained. Even as its user, he could feel the temperature of the flame sparks, and he thinks that they almost reach one-fourth of the sun's temperature!
He waved the hilt in his hand, and the thousands of flame sparks suddenly move according to his will, then he swung it left and right, and the sparks also move left and right. 'Hmmm... this hilt seems to be the remote control, so the connection between didn't disappear but became stronger.'
"It's hot here." Fey entered her phasing state and ran in the distance.
Just from standing near the 'Flame Advent, she could feel her skin break within seconds with the unbearable temperature. She knew that if she stays in that place longer her hair might thin out or she might turn into a grilled human in a worst-case scenario. After all, the 'Flame Advent' didn't have the same function the 'Rudimentary Field' has, which could distinguish the enemy from an ally.
Seeing his sister's behavior, Fein scratched his head awkwardly. He forgot to remind her as he's confident with Fey's 'Phasing Ability.' But he also remembered that his 'Flame Advent' could still hurt Fey because of the 'Killer of Concept'.
Fey was almost three kilometers away, but she still feel the heat even at the wide distance. Fortunately, her 'Phasing State' reduced the heat she received significantly. She moved further until she was already five kilometers away and stopped when she felt that the heat became bearable. But she still kept her phasing state.
Fein looked speechless at this. With his 'Super Vision', he could still vaguely make out his sister's silhouette, Albeit it looks like a small dot due to the distance. Then, he scanned the surrounding, some of the sand had already turned bright red, and the cactuses ignited that produced a dense fire. 'Damn, I didn't even practice its capabilities, yet the scene already looks like hell. It seems I underestimated the 1/4 temperature of the Sun.' he sighed.
He knows that if this continues, he might turn the whole underground base of Ranger's Eye into a living hell, and burn the entire base down. He knew that Gregory would scold him if this happens, and he might pay with his contribution points for the repair. So, he could only helplessly deactivate his 'Flame Advent'.
'Motherfucker! This ability is not environmentally friendly!' Fein felt a bit disappointed in his heart as he didn't manage to try the penetrating power of the ability.
'Well, let's just try it on another time.'
Just like that, the thousand flame sparks that look like a swarm of insects converged into the hilt on his hands which turned into the blade.
With the disappearance of the 'Flame Advent', the temperature gradually returned to normal, but the damage to the surrounding remained.
'If I was in the forest, it might have turned worse than this.' Fein thought silently.
Fey, in the distance, saw the orange light fade, and the temperature decreased drastically. She didn't have the same powerful eyesight as Fein yet because she's only a newly promoted C rank with her brother's help.
After she confirmed that, the heat really went down. She phased through the ground and bounced back and forth in her brother's direction.
...
In a minute, Fey arrived at Fein's position. What she saw made her stunned! The ground became black like charcoal. And some of the boulders turned into charred rubble. Then she saw Fein, who had a bitter smile on his face.
"What the fuck happened here!?" The on her face hasn't subsided and looked at Fein with a questioning look.
Fein shook his head. "Do you still have to ask? It's not my fault, it's my ability's fault. And who taught you to curse like that??"
Fey couldn't help but sigh. 'You were the one who used your ability, so it was your fault. And I learned how to curse from my friend' she could only complain inwardly. "Nevermind."
"Well, kidding aside... Let's go, before my captain sees this." Fein stood up and patted the dust on his butt. "At least had already fulfilled our objectives here. And I can affirm that you are already qualified to join our team with your current ability."
Fein chuckled and patted Fey's shoulder with happiness. A smile appeared on her face. Fey felt her confidence increase. And now, she can finally join the team where her brother started! Her training for the past few months under Fein wasn't in vain!
...
THUD
"Huh?" Gregory put down the papers in his hands and turned his eyes to the door. Two figures emerged and quietly look at Gregory. "The two of you are already finished?"
Fein coughed a little. He felt guilty about the damage he incurred at the underground base. Of course, he wasn't really planning to lie about such a small matter. At best, he would just have to pay for gold coins for its repair. Lying won't get him into anything, and it would only damage their trust. Although the matter wasn't that serious. He believes that you could trust a person concerning big things if you can't trust him in small things. Because, why would you trust a person in the first place when the said person was already dishonest in small matters?
"Well, you see, we fucked up the underground base a little." Fein sighed.
Gregory turned his head at Fey, who in turn nodded and look at the ground. 'You're the only one who messed up the place. Why did you include me?' Fey felt wronged and she wants to cry without tears.
