I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 338: Abyssal Flame

Translator: 549690339 |

Watching the anomalies occurring in the forge’s blazing furnace, Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed. The demonic flame inside the Bone Box in his inventory seemed to have been provoked, as it suddenly ignited and even spread to the surface of the Bone Box.

“What’s happening?” Song Jian asked in astonishment, looking at the Bone Box in his inventory that was now engulfed in black flames, his heart skipping a beat.

Perhaps sensing the power of the Third-tier Demon flame, the forge’s fire promptly shrank in size, with all its fury subsiding, as if it had encountered the king of its kind.

System: Would you like to replace the ordinary furnace fire in the Primary forge with the Third-tier Demon flame “Abyssal flame”? Note: Using the Third-tier Demon flame to forge items will greatly increase the success rate, greatly increase the mutation rate, and greatly increase the item’s tier!

Seeing the three “greatly increased” attributes in the system prompt, Song Jian’s face instantly lit up with joy. However, the system quickly provided another prompt:

System: The Primary forge is detected to not have the qualifications to accommodate a Third-tier Demon flame. You must upgrade the Primary forge to an Advanced forge to accommodate the Third-tier Demon flame, or unforeseen losses may occur.

“Not qualified to accommodate? Must upgrade the forge’s level?” Song Jian was dumbfounded, and quickly checked the requirements to upgrade the forge:

Upgrading the Primary forge to an Intermediate forge requires 100,000 forging experience points, while upgrading the Intermediate forge to an Advanced forge requires 1,000,000 forging experience points!

Upon reading this, Song Jian was momentarily speechless. He could barely accept needing 100,000 forging experience points, but 1,000,000? How long would it take to forge that much?

With these thoughts, Song Jian decisively refused to let the newly acquired forge accommodate the Third-tier Demon flame.

However, soon, the Bone Box in his inventory emitted a “creaking” sound, and fine cracks slowly appeared on its surface. Tiny, substantial black flames squeezed out from these cracks.

“The flames seem to be out of control, the Bone Box can no longer contain them. Will it destroy my inventory?” Song Jian’s heart was startled, and he quickly retrieved the Bone Box.

Boom!

The instant Song Jian retrieved it, the Bone Box turned to ashes, leaving a black ember wildly dancing in his palm like a spritely elf. The scorching heat instantly raised the temperature around the forge.

System: Do you want to bind the Third-tier Demon flame “Abyssal flame” as your personal Strange fire?

“Binding? Can it be bound to a character? So, can I only fuse it with the forge after binding it?” Song Jian thought to himself, but he didn’t have time for that and directly chose to bind it.

“Let’s see what it looks like after binding it as my personal Strange fire!”

Once he made his decision, Song Jian quickly clicked confirm!

Suddenly, the Abyssal flame underwent a change, the small flame in his palm burning more ferociously and enveloping his entire body, from afar, Song Jian looked like a man on fire, engulfed in black flames.

Song Jian felt an intense heat surrounding him, as if he had been thrown into boiling water, unbearable for anyone. In his ears, annoying and disturbing moans began to echo, filled with temptation and violence, causing dizziness and making his head feel like it was about to explode.

At this moment, a slowly-moving progress bar appeared before Song Jian’s eyes:

Integration with the Third-tier Demon flame “Abyssal flame” 1%… 2%… 3%… “Integrating? Am I now merging with this flame? It’s so… unbearable!” Song Jian clutched his collar, his face twisted in pain.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

Song Jian felt as if he could hear his flesh sizzling in flames. He even had the illusion that he was skewered on a stick and being roasted over a fire. He couldn’t help but convulse involuntarily.

Just then, a cool sensation surged into his mind like a bubbling spring, extinguishing all the flames. His mind instantly cleared, and his eyes regained their clarity.

At that moment, the progress bar had just reached 10%. However, as soon as Song Jian regained his clarity, the progress bar instantly jumped from 10% to 90% and continued to move rapidly at a visible speed.

Seeing Song Jian suddenly become a man on fire covered with black flames, all the surrounding players watching were startled and scattered away.

This was their instinctive reaction—for them, safety always came first. This instinct had penetrated deep into their bones. Players without this instinct would have long been monsters’ food.

finally, Song Jian saw the progress bar reach 100% and then disappear.

System: The Third-tier Demon flame “Abyssal flame” has been bound as player Song Jian’s personal item.

System: Integration with the Third-tier Demon flame “Abyssal flame” completed. After the tempering of the Third-tier Demon flame, player Song Jian’s Vitality Points permanently increased by 200, Strength increased by 5 points, Agility increased by 5 points, Constitution increased by 5 points, Spirit increased by 5 points, Ice Resistance increased by 30 points, fire Resistance increased by 30 points, Water magic damage reduced by 30%, fire magic damage reduced by 30%. Permanent control of the Third-tier Demon Plame “Abyssal Plame” acquired.

System: The player officially controls the Third-tier Demon Flame “Abyssal Plame” and can use it to open the Abyssal Gate and enter the Abyssal Land. The Abyssal Gate can only be opened once a month; Reminder: The Abyssal Land is filled with danger, and it is advised that players enter after level 30.

“How is this possible?” Song Jian was dumbfounded.

It was as if a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky and hit Song Jian squarely. The “greatly increased” benefits of the Third-tier Demon Flame alone were mouthwatering enough, and he didn’t expect it to have so many additional attributes.

Just the permanent increase of 200 Vitality Points alone had allowed Song Jian’s Vitality Points to break the 1,000 mark. Coupled with an additional 5 points in Constitution, Song Jian had already reached 1,160 Vitality Points. For any player at the current stage, Song Jian could now be considered a humanoid Boss.

Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit each increased by 5 points, solidifying Song Jian’s “humanoid Boss” title. Not to mention, the increases in Ice Resistance, Fire Resistance, and the weakening of Water and Fire magic. The most accessible profession for ordinary players was Mage, and the easiest mage specializations to master were Water and Fire Mages. With his Ice Resistance, Fire Resistance, and reduction in Water and Fire magic damage, Song Jian had become a “Mage-killer” against these two types of Mages. They had no chance against him. Magic that would have inflicted over a hundred points of damage to Song Jian before now only dealt ten or twenty points. Song Jian didn’t even need to take a potion.

Feeling the surging power within him, Song Jian’s face was filled with an ecstatic smile. The added attributes had gone far beyond Song Jian’s expectations.
