"…"
Upon hearing Fireproof's suggestion, Fangzheng was momentarily at a loss for words.
Burn an entire world?
Of course, Fangzheng knew what she meant. In the blood source world, he had obtained a considerable amount of 'firewood' to replenish his spiritual flames by eliminating the 'BOSSes'. But now, it seemed like it wasn't enough. If Fangzheng could burn an entire world, it would be equivalent to obtaining firewood for a world. This way, his spiritual flames would definitely be able to burn for a long, long time …
But … Burning an entire world …
This wasn't an easy task. At least for now, Fangzheng couldn't think of any world that could be used as firewood. If you were talking about powerful enemies, he could still find a lot of them, but a world was not that simple. At least in Fangzheng's memory, he hadn't found a world that was suitable to be used as firewood.
Of course, after all, Fangzheng wasn't a demon, so he couldn't just randomly find a world to burn. He knew clearly what it meant to burn an entire world. It meant that all the souls in that world would become his firewood. Therefore, in Fangzheng's opinion, if he were to find a world, he would need to find an unpardonable world. Yes, just like in the pitch-black world, if there weren't any cursed children, Fangzheng would directly burn that world down.
Or perhaps … just find a post-apocalyptic wasteland?
Why do I feel like I'm getting further and further away from the path of becoming a big BOSS?
Forget it, I'll think about this later. Even if I can't find such a world, Fangzheng can also obtain firewood to continue his spiritual flames by eliminating powerful BOSSes. Anyway … BOSSes aren't rare no matter what world they are in, right?
But now …
"I'll leave them to you."
Fangzheng pondered for a moment and handed the two swords to the fire-resistant young lady. It just so happened that he wanted to experiment and see how much spiritual flames would be consumed when he used his powers. The fireproof girl respectfully received the long and short swords from Fangzheng. Then, she closed her eyes and began to chant softly.
Accompanied by the fireproof woman's chant, the flame on the altar in front of Fangzheng instantly erupted. It formed two long fire snakes that swallowed the two swords. Then, the fireproof woman released her hand and took a few steps back.
"Please hold the hilt and think of how it should be, Lady Ashes."
"Yes …"
Fangzheng nodded. Then, he extended his hand and grasped the two swords enveloped in spirit flames. Soon, the flames rose in front of Fangzheng's eyes again.
When the flames disappeared, the two swords in front of Fangzheng changed their forms again.
The greatsword in his right hand didn't have any special changes, but on the originally smooth edge of the blade, one could see a saw-like pattern. Not only that …
Kacha!
Fangzheng raised his right hand and swung it forward. Along with the sound of a mechanism, the greatsword in Fangzheng's hand suddenly split into pieces and transformed into a chain sword that swung forward and smashed onto the ground. Following that, Fangzheng shook his right hand, and the chain sword that had fallen to the ground raised its head high like a snake. Following that, it let out a soft cracking sound and returned to its sword form.
"Good."
Looking at the greatsword in his hand, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction. For the black magic sword, Fangzheng's idea of modifying it was based on the cane sword that he used in the world of Yan Nan. After all, with an additional form change, the attack range could be expanded. This kind of unexpected change was also to Fangzheng's liking.
However, there was still a difference between a greatsword and a cane sword. If the latter's form change was like a viper, then Fangzheng's greatsword's form change was more like a python. A viper used agility to attack and gain victory with speed. On the other hand, a python used strength to suppress and sweep away thousands of troops.
Not only that …
Fangzheng took a step back to create more space. Then, he swung the greatsword forward. Shortly after, the greatsword once again transformed into a python that tore through the air. But unlike before, the instant Fangzheng's black greatsword transformed, its blade suddenly transformed into several phantoms that attacked from all directions like a hydra.
At the same time, Fangzheng swung the greatsword and retreated once again. The phantoms that scattered in all directions quickly dissipated and returned to their original form.
"This is really a pleasant surprise."
Looking at the black greatsword in his hand, Fangzheng couldn't help but feel emotional. He thought of what would happen if he infused the power he obtained from the Dark Moon Sword into his weapon. Judging from the results, it was apparent that his black greatsword had a rather outstanding ability — creating phantoms!
Although these phantoms were only phantoms and didn't have any offensive power, it was enough to confuse the enemy's vision.
As for the silver-whitish dagger in his left hand, it had also transformed.
Just like the black greatsword, Fangzheng had also modified the appearance of the silver-whitish dagger. The original hilt was transformed into a shape similar to the handle of a flintlock, while the end of the dagger was transformed into a rotating drum magazine of a revolver.
As for the muzzle, Fangzheng rather insidiously placed it at the tip of the blade and deliberately formed a groove similar to a blood slot. After all, this gun was used to load and fire Fangzheng's power and not some kind of physical bullet. Therefore, he only needed to consider a firing port. As the original silver-whitish dagger was based on Fangzheng's greatsword, it presented a curved shape similar to a beast's claw. Its attacks relied more on slashing instead of thrusting, which made this dagger look more like a strange reverse scimitar. Under such circumstances, generally, no one would be able to detect the hidden malice of this dagger.
As for its power …
Bang!!
Fangzheng raised the dagger in his left hand and held the hilt. Then, he pressed the hammer and pulled the trigger. Along with a deafening gunshot, Fangzheng saw a ball of flames erupting on the ground not far from him.
Its range was about 30 to 50 meters and its power was basically equivalent to a magic missile.
Gazing at the explosion, Fangzheng made a quick judgment and was satisfied with the result. As this bullet was formed from Fangzheng's power of existence, as long as Fangzheng had enough power of existence to replenish it, he could fire continuously.
This was also thanks to the fact that he could finally connect to the zero-hour particles after passing the flame. If not, Fangzheng wouldn't have dared to play this game.
In fact, Fangzheng also considered the possibility of using the characteristics of the zero-hour particles to continue his existence. But for Fangzheng, he decided to use this as a last resort. The zero-hour particles restored the power of existence. The problem was that Fangzheng wasn't like Hecate or Delia who relied on the power of existence to appear in the world. This also meant that if he were to fully rely on the zero-hour particles to continue his spiritual flames, he would have to transform himself into a disciple of the world.
But this came with many risks. The most important of which was that after Fangzheng transformed into a disciple of the world, all karmic connections between him and this world would disappear and he would be forgotten. This also meant that apart from Shana, Nanoka, Hecate, and Delia, everyone else including Nimf would have their memories of Fangzheng erased.
Not only that, but the Tendo Temple, which Fangzheng spent a lot of effort to build, would also crumble. That was why Fangzheng definitely wouldn't choose to transform himself into a disciple of the world unless he had no other choice.
So then, the next step was … to find an opponent to experiment with.
"Little Flame."
At this thought, Fangzheng turned to the Flame Relayer.
"You can connect to the dream world, right? Bring me to the dream world where the crimson moon is."
"Yes, Madam Ashes."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, the Flame Relayer nodded. Then, she walked to the center of the sacrificial ground. She didn't do anything, but at the next moment, she whipped out a spiral-shaped, burning sword and stabbed it into the bonfire. Then, the Flame Relayer shifted her body slightly to the side and made way for Fangzheng.
"After you, Madam Ashes."
"… Hmm, this is a familiar and convenient method."
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng nodded. Then, he approached the bonfire and placed his hand on the tip of the broken sword.
