Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 133
Almost instantly, Lumian's whole body seemed to be on fire.
From body to soul, every part of him was suffering from searing pain.
Lumian was no stranger to this feeling. Whether it was the serious injury he encountered while hunting the flame monster or the experience of being on the verge of losing control when receiving the gift, he had been truly ignited.
At this moment, such burning and pain could not cover up the fire in his heart, the flame that wanted to resist fate, change everything, and burn away all depression and despair.
This made Lumian not fall to the ground and curl up to relieve the pain, but stood there straight, gritting his teeth, contorting his face, and refusing to bend down.
He gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and his back gradually bent downwards, but Lumian was just like facing the parish priest Guillaume Benet, and facing Termipoulos who brought devastating disaster to the village of Kordu. , trying his best to straighten his back.
His body leaned down a little bit, then raised a little bit, a burning breath lingered on the tip of his nose, and the terrifying sound that seemed to come from infinite distance and yet was close to him rang in his ears.
The familiar, severe stinging pain penetrated his entire head, causing him to scream in agony. One after another cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, and magma-like liquid faintly flowed from inside. "
Lumian placed his hands on the desk in front of him to support his body.
The area he touched quickly turned black and scorched, and the smell of burning wood filled the air.
Lumian's instinctive scream could no longer be heard. He opened his mouth wide and sprayed out hot gas.
He did not open the bottle of gray amber perfume immediately, relying on the fire in his chest to fight against the various pains from the inside out and the increasingly blurred thoughts.
Time passed by minute by second, and Lumian, who was always clenching his teeth, felt the fire in his chest spurt out, merging with the burning that filled his body.
All kinds of pain subsided, and his fuzzy thoughts gradually became clear.
Lumian put his hands on his hands, stood up straight again, and cast his gaze on the full-length mirror in the room.
In the mirror, his blond hair still shows a bit of black, his clothes have been burned to tatters, and there are a lot of scorch marks all over his body, which are quickly scabbing and falling to the ground, revealing his pale skin.
At the same time, Lumian saw that there seemed to be two red flames burning in his blue eyes. After he tried to calm down and eased his condition, they disappeared little by little.
The next second, Lumian raised his right hand, and a red flame suddenly condensed in his palm.
He successfully promoted to Sequence 7 of the "Hunter" path and became an "Arsonist"!
Flames kept coming out of Lumian's palm, intertwined with the original red color, and kept compressing inward.
After more than ten seconds, the color of the red flame turned blazing white, and both the temperature and the inherent explosiveness were more than one level higher than before.
"You can directly use the red, less powerful flame, or you can use the more powerful white flame after accumulating and compressing it for a period of time..." Lumian's palm seemed not to be afraid of burning, and he let it go The blazing white flame burned quietly there.
He has initially examined his own status and the occult knowledge he has acquired, and has a relatively complete understanding of the extraordinary abilities of the "arsonist":
First, the spirituality of the 'arsonist' has been greatly improved, which has led to a qualitative change in Lumian's "spiritual vision" - not only can he use this to set up a more concealed and faster opening method, but also Finally, I can see the colors of various parts of the "etheric body" described by my sister, and there is no longer a single chaotic picture.
This helps the "hunter" grasp the target's physical condition and target more effectively.
Second, danger intuition has also been enhanced to a certain extent. Now, Lumian no longer only senses when a problem is about to break out. He can stimulate his intuition in this area by observing the environment and collecting information. Correspondingly, he is more aware of it. If you know whether you are being followed, you can use your anti-tracking skills more fully and perfectly.
Third, with the ability to control fire, this also comes with several spells.
Now Lumian can mainly control the flames that come from and are created by himself. He has an affinity for the flames and flammable objects in the surrounding environment, but he is not yet able to exert enough influence until he initially digests them. If you have obtained the "Pyromancer" potion, or been promoted to a higher order, there may be corresponding changes.
In addition, Lumian can attack enemies with the flames he creates, but once the flames leave his body, they are unlikely to be under his control unless he has stored part of his spirituality inside in advance.
In other words, it is quite difficult to turn the fired fireball midway, and it requires a lot of extra spiritual energy to do it.
The control of flames is mainly divided into seven aspects:
The first is to condense and compress, bombing the target in the form of fireballs. The longer the compression time, the more flames accumulate and the greater the power; the second is to burn a layer of flames on the body surface to defend against freezing effects and poisonous gas damage to a certain extent. Waiting for attacks; the third is to use flames to create different temporary weapons, which can bring high-temperature cutting, burning, piercing and other damage. This can also be divided into red and blazing according to the different charging time; the fourth is delay. Explosion relies on adding spirituality and changing the structure to allow the created "fire bomb" to explode at a predetermined time instead of being detonated on the spot; fifth is range influence, which ensures that the flame is controlled by itself by extending the flame instead of throwing it out. , explode at the imagined location or burn in different forms; the sixth is "injecting fire", using the pressure caused by physical contact and force collision during close combat, the flame is poured into the enemy's body bit by bit, and finally detonated; Seventh, add fire damage to your own weapons.
The few fire spells Lumian obtained were all applications of these aspects, but they relied on some skills to achieve effects that he could not normally create.
Those spells are: "Fire Crow", "Blazing Spear", "Burning Wall" and "Giant Fireball".
Among them, the "Fire Crow Technique" is the most magical. It allows Lumian to quickly condense a group of flame crows around him, and assigns a point of spirituality to each fire crow, so that after they leave the body, they can still function within a certain degree. It is controlled to simply adjust the trajectory and initially lock on the target.
Without this spell, if Lumian, who had just been promoted to "Pyromancer", wanted to achieve similar effects, he would have to consume at least three times the spiritual energy and energy of the current amount, and the Fire Crow would be a lot clumsy and dull.
"Blazing Spear" is a spell that condenses blazing white flames more quickly, but it can only exist in the form of a spear. With added spirituality, it can also roughly guide the fireball created by Lumian.
"Burning Wall" uses the earth as the medium and itself as the source. By creating two fire snakes to jump towards the enemy, it creates a blazing wall around him.
The "huge fireball" takes more than ten or twenty seconds, which is equivalent to compressing multiple red fireballs into one launch.
The flames of the "Pyromaniac" all come from themselves, mainly causing physical damage, but they can also initially burn spiritual bodies. Now Lumian is no longer at a loss to deal with soul-like creatures and must use external forces.
Fourth, after the transformation of the magic potion, his body has a strong resistance to flames. Even if it is doused with animal fat, lit with a torch, and burned for a long time, the damage he suffered will not reach the serious level, but the fireball The shock wave from the explosion can still damage him normally.
Lumian believed that when his order reached a higher level, his body might be able to merge directly into the fire.
He casually shook his right hand, causing the blazing white flame to dissipate into the air.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up his hand, and a long sword condensed with red flames appeared out of thin air.
Lumian waved a few times, shook his head in disappointment, and said silently to himself: "I can only hurt the enemy, but I can't block or parry."
The flaming sword had no substance, and Lumian suspected that it would have to wait until a higher level of order for such a weapon to turn into reality.
He immediately let the flaming sword disperse and took out the dagger from the perverted Hedsey.
As Lumian's fingers stroked the surface of the dagger, a layer of blazing flames covered the blade.
Lumian held the handle and stabbed several times with the dagger. He saw a few red sparks remaining in the air that were rapidly dissipating. The scene was quite dreamy.
"It can block and deal fire damage. Although it cannot generate high temperatures in this form, it is still very useful.
"The problem now is that ordinary weapons cannot withstand the flames for a long time." Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
After confirming the "arsonist"'s extraordinary abilities, he quickly cleaned up his desk and put on a linen shirt, a brown jacket and dark trousers.
Lumian looked at himself in the mirror again, with the corners of his mouth raised into a smile.
He immediately put on the dark blue peaked cap, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Behind him, groups of red flames emerged silently, bright and dazzling, and fleeting.
Market Avenue, outside the khaki four-story building that houses the congressman's office.
Lumian once again sat among the homeless people at the entrance of the alley opposite, watching the people coming and going in the target house.
Because there was an explosion at the Goodville Chemical Plant, many workers died and many more were injured. News reporters from all over Trier rushed over, so Hugues Artois's office was still lit by the light of the gas wall lamp. It is busy receiving visitors with different purposes.
The congressman did not go home, so the staff who were attached to him naturally had to stay in the khaki building, where every room seemed to have lights coming out.
Lumian leaned against the wall on the street, observing the visitors in the congressman's office, and thinking about the strategies he could adopt.
He wants to light a "fire"!
He wants to "burn" the bastard who brought the disease!
He knew that this would have serious consequences, and he knew that becoming an "arsonist" was not enough to fight against the favored ones of the evil god surrounding Yuge Artua with his own strength.
He just wanted to do something. He just felt that no matter how ferocious the sea of fire was, it all started with a spark.
