Chapter 516: Chapter 422 “The ‘Good Intentions’ of the Firebearer”_1 Chapter 516: Chapter 422 “The ‘Good Intentions’ of the Firebearer”_1 [Name: “Favor of the Flame Bearer”]

[Quality: None.]

[Status: Perfect.]

[Ability Level: None.]

[Description: An auxiliary learning tool made of unique materials. Through it, one can better unleash the power of the “Flame Bearer” and further master more techniques. It is the most suitable adaptive learning tool before becoming a “Flame Bearer”.]

[Usage: Can be used when one enters the “Fire-Embraced” status. It operates with a plug-and-play mechanism, and automatically disassembles itself to return to the “Storage Room” once the status ends.]

[Direct Gaze: By locking on a target with the eyes or will, it can ignore most defenses and directly cause the flames to burn the target seen, igniting the life force of the adversary…]

[Direct Gaze – First Flame Summon: Once a target is locked, it summons a strand of “Primordial Fire” through one’s own flames, delivering a direct burning strike to the enemy. The flame’s intensity is capped at Level 5 (this item can summon up to three times.)]

[Negative Effects: When using “Direct Gaze” and “Direct Gaze – First Flame Summon”, eyes will bleed, fatigue, and temporary vision decrease will occur.]

[Note 1: Initially, this ability was developed by a kind-hearted “Flame Bearer”. She always liked to give some of the Different Races who were still capable of turning back, a chance. Thus, she specifically developed this ability. As a result, the enemy would be burned to the brink of death, unable to resist or even commit suicide, instead of being directly turned into charcoal (does not apply to ‘First Flame Summon’…]

[As a result, it’s also known as the “Favor of the Flame Bearer”.]

[Note 2: What are you looking at?]

[Upgrade Conditions: Unable to upgrade.]

“Item name ‘Favor of the Flame Bearer’… a special auxiliary learning tool… Direct Gaze, Bonfire Summon, Level 5 flames…”

His gaze swept over this special item, and Colin quickly noted down the key points.

When he saw the Level 5 intensity of the flames, he paused, what kind of rating system was this?

Soon, holding a warm orb as if it had just been plucked out…

Colin was suddenly struck by an inspiration, and he began to understand this thing.

‘According to this assessment, Level 1 could easily melt common steel bars and the like, Level 2 could easily melt some special kinds of steel. For Level 3, there seems to be no good reference at the moment…’

‘However, under my normal status, I generally have Level 2 flames, and with some buffs, I could probably reach Level 2.5…’

‘In peak condition, I can reach Level 3, then piling everything on and performing ‘Item Liberation’, I could reach Level 3.5. This level of strength is sufficient to deal with Level 2 Containment Subjects…’

Colin drew his revolver, silently making some calculations in his mind and getting a rough idea of his current strength.

Then, with this ocular item, he could directly lock his gaze onto an enemy, ignoring their defenses and striking them directly with fire…

Below a First Level Containment Subject, this ability was very effective.

“Besides, there’s a trump card; with it I can summon Level 5 strength flames. Although it’s just a wisp and the cost is pretty big, once I lock onto the target’s body, unless there’s an accident, even a Level 2 Containment Subject can be instantly killed or a First Level Containment Subject can be repelled or severely injured. Even against higher levels, it can have a certain effect…”

Colin took a sharp breath.

Although there were only three uses available, these three times could change the entire situation.

“Even without these three moves, as a ‘Flame Bearer’ pre-school item, it’s quite good. But it seems that once you reach the level of a ‘Flame Bearer’, its usefulness doesn’t seem that great anymore?”

After reading some of the knowledge that had mysteriously emerged, Colin faintly understood.

The flame strength of an official “Flame Bearer” is around Level 5, so this trump card isn’t a big booster to a “Flame Bearer”…

“Yeah, speaking of which, the strength of flames is one thing, and the method of utilization is another.”

Colin remembered that a “Flame Bearer” had once used part of their flame to directly repel “Night”.

That person had demonstrated an extremely sophisticated technique of flaming…

The same Bonfire, under their control, showed a force far beyond what he could muster.

“My eyes tell me that, at least theoretically, I can do it too, it’s just that practically, this move seems a bit beyond me. Proficiency, this thing is a comprehensive matter, it can’t be rushed…”

Colin recalled it for a moment and felt like he understood but also didn’t quite grasp it.

The only certainty was the enemy’s control was very precise…

As if they’d mastered every wisp of flame.

If he could also utilize flames like them, then aside from those floating in space, other attacks, such as those following the crack beneath the Starship, Colin himself could also thwart.

It could be said that the other person had hand-held him to understand the victory of “technique”.

“Well, I still can’t figure it out, not knowing whether it’s unique to the ‘Flame Bearer’ or some other circumstance.”

With a long sigh, Colin put away his envious longing.

Then, looking at the information below the eye, especially the notes, he couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly…

“Good Lord, I thought ‘Favor of the Flame Bearer’ referred to the goodwill expressed to me when giving me this equipment, but I didn’t expect, that this goodwill was quite another kind of kindness…”

“To burn a savable enemy to the point of near-death and incapable of suicide… that’s really too kind, isn’t it.”

After a silence of two seconds, Colin, to be honest, felt that this “kindness” needed some quotation marks…
