Chapter 244 Ability Ban’s Effect
'Huh, my abilities were sealed? Wait!? That's so cheating!'
Without his abilities, how would fight Ceterus now? Then he looked at his 'Flame Advent' helplessly...
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
But nothing happened. Fein scratched his head with doubt. 'I thought my abilities were sealed? Is it because Flame Advent isn't my ability, but it's from the sword?'
Fein nodded as he thought of this. After all, the description of the ability ban only mentioned his ability, and it doesn't affect the ability of the target's equipment. Meaning, only his system's ability, such as storage space, stats improvement, probe, map, lottery, and titles are the ones he can't use now.
'But doesn't that mean this so-called ability ban is useless to me? After all, I'm not really using the system abilities in battle at all,' Fein smirked.
Ceterus glanced at the red flaming dots in the sky with confusion. "Huh? I'm sure that I've used my ability just now. Why the fuck is that thing still there?"
"Because that's not my ability, but my sword's!" Fein heaves a sigh of relief. Honestly, he had freaked out earlier. He really thought that he can't use his ability. It turns out that it's only the system's abilities that were worthless in battle.
He would be absolutely fucked, if the ability ban also affects techniques and equipment abilities!
Hearing his answer, Ceterus couldn't help but look at the sword with incredulity. He didn't expect that the terrible ability would come from the sword!
Ceterus swallowed, his lips trembling, and he took a deep breath, "Is that sword an S-rank weapon?"
"Maybe." Fein was unwilling to divulge anything related to his equipment.
HISS!
Seeing him not denying it, Ceterus knew instantly that it was really S-rank equipment! 'Did he get that from the Monster World Secret Realm?'
This is the only place he could think of that where Fein can obtain that. Ceterus was well aware of just how scarce S-rank equipment is. In the San Fernando country, there are only six and they already have their respective owner. He himself has only two, and they are placed in a hidden place in his office within the Ranger's Eye headquarters. One is armor and the other is an accessory.
Ceterus only used them when fighting demons and apprehending criminals, because S-rank cannot be used casually due to their preciousness. Even in the Ranger's Eye, Main Branch Treasury has only three that the geniuses of the younger generation could exchange with points. Of course, they could only exchange it if they made dozens of meritorious achievements.
"If your sword is really an S-rank, I have to say that you're a lucky explorer. But I believe with your strength you really walk sideways in the Secret Realm." Ceterus smiled. Then his eyes became serious. "Now that my ability was useless to you, I could only use my trump card. I didn't expect that you can push me to use that transformation..."
Ceterus was aware that, if he didn't transform, the flames in the sky could kill him even in his first form. Because the red dots in the sky kept giving him a sense of danger.
"That's a wise decision."
Fein knew just how terrible the power of Flame Advent could exert. Just by maintaining it in one place, it still kept destroying the environment.
Now, the desert literally looks like hell, because fire kept spreading everywhere as the red dots in the sky kept exuding flame every second. A flame with terrible temperature. Fortunately, the Desert has a self-recovery function, so he doesn't have to worry about the damages that much.
...
Gregory and Anthony stepped out of the Underground Base with fear. "I didn't expect the fire to cover half of the base."
"Yeah, and I could the heat weakly even here." Anthony leaned on the wall and looked at the entrance of the Underground Base with solemnness.
"Now, I understand how he accidentally destroyed the base." Gregory smiled bitterly.
"Huh? when did he exactly destroy the base?" Anthony turned his head at their captain.
"When he was practicing with his sister..."
"That's terrible," Anthony said.
Gregory nodded and said in a hoarse voice. "Let's go to the office first and breathe some fresh air. Let's come back to them later." Then he strove forward, he could feel his throat was a little became dry because of dehydration.
"That's right. If we stay here any longer, I feel that the heat would deprive me of water on my body!"
...
In the Underground Base, black smoke in various places rose in the sky, along cactuses covered in fire.
Five figures could be seen in the open field where fire dominated the area. Three of them were covered in an invisible field that protected them from the wild flames, watching the two figures of Fein and Ceterus.
Azazel had already woken up this time. "Did the boss challenge the president?"
"No, I think it's our president who proposed a spar to Fein," Kiba answered as he recounted what happened after Azazel lost consciousness to him.
"Yes, and it's just a friendly spar," Kate interjected.
"This is just a friendly spar?" Azazel scanned the devastated environment around him speechlessly. "If I didn't know, I would have thought that we're inside a volcano."

"Stop talking... It seems they are about to start!" Kiba slapped Azazel on his back.
"Ouch! What was the for!?" Azazel gritted his teeth.
"That's for knocking me out earlier," Kiba said with a wide grin. Now, he felt that he finally got his revenge, and he felt satisfied.
"Y-you." Azazel clenched his fist.
"Stop you two!" Kate felt a headache as she saw the two bicker with each other again. She stared at the two with cold eyes.
Seeing this, Azazel and Kiba shivered and shut their mouths tacitly. They knew how evil Kate was once she gets annoyed. They had already experienced it in the past.
...
"Since this is just a spar. Do you want me to give you some time to transform?" Fein tried to wave the hilt in his hand and controlled the thousand or even millions of red dots in the air.
Ceterus gulped seeing the scalp-numbing scene. Fortunately, he doesn't have a phobia or he would have already collapsed.
."No need. My second transformation is unostentatious."
