Reaper of the Martial World

Book 6: Chapter 349: Depths of Hell (3)

Head Arie watched this scene with a combination of disbelief and concern on her delicate features. She had never seen such an oppressive innate fire… The offensive capabilities of Dyon’s flames could be said to be the greatest she had ever seen.

For her to think such a thing, it meant a lot. After all, her Celestial Deer Clan had a lot of relations with the Drago-Qilin lands. Among them, the legendary red dragon was among the most powerful. Strong and majestic creatures with scales as beautiful rubies coating them. They were both a marvel to look at while also being among the strongest race of beasts to ever exist.

Not to mention the Fire Dragon Clan, dragons and qilins in general had high fire affinities. For example, Dyon’s martial uncle, a member of the Demon Qilin Clan had strong fire affinity himself. In fact, it was because of this that Dyon believed his red flames were his true flames with his black flame was simply an augmenter of dark type wills.

Clearly, he was very much mistaken…

“Family head, shouldn’t we help? If this continues…” Saintess Rue and Ray panicked. After watching Dyon for so long, they were stricken by his determination and talent. They already saw him as a little brother they couldn’t bare to see anything happen to.

Of course, this was only reinforced by the fact Head Arie only referred to him as grandson.

They didn’t know why, but they had begun to subconsciously believe that Dyon was younger than them, no matter what their better judgements said.

Head Arie’s delicate jaw slightly clenched before she eventually shook her head. “No. The only way to remove the plight of this innate flame from him would be to strip him of the flame itself. But, you know as well as I how cruel such a thing is. If he can surpass this hurdle, he will benefit greatly…

“His flame has two characteristics. And that’s just my initial estimate…”

“Two?!” By now, even the silent Saintess Ray couldn’t help but exclaim. A flame even having one characteristic was almost unheard of, how could his have two?

“No… I think it’s three…” Head Arie mumbled.

“This…” The two saintesses didn’t know how to react.

For context, even the mighty phoenixes only had two characteristics to their flames, it wasn’t until Amethyst was born that a mighty flame with four characteristics was birthed into the world.

An ice phoenixes blue flame would have a piercing cold characteristic along with a life characteristic. This was why they were both known as ice phoenixes while also being the heaven’s representation of life.

A fire phoenix would have an inextinguishable heat characteristic along with a reincarnation characteristic. Obviously, this was why they were known as fire phoenixes while also being the heaven’s representation of reincarnation.

Dark phoenixes also had two characteristics. Their flames had both a darkness characteristic that allowed them to thrive in the shadows, while also having a death characteristic that made them heaven’s representations of death.

It wasn’t until Amethyst combined the characteristics of the ice and fire phoenix from her two parents that a mighty four characteristic flame was birthed into the world.

The shame of the Belmont family was that even though they innately had two flames, they couldn’t access the life and reincarnation characteristics of their red and blue flames, giving each of their flames only a single characteristic.

Yet, despite all of this, Head Arie was saying Dyon’s flames had three characteristics! A feat rarely seen!

“His flames after a solidification characteristic and an augmentation characteristic…”

“Solidification? Augmentation?” Saintess Rue asked.

“Yes. If my senses are correct, his flames can augment darkness and demonic type wills, making them stronger than they otherwise might be. At the same time, he can gift darkness and demonic type characteristics to wills that might otherwise not have them. If he coupled these flames with his death will… The results would be frightening. Plus, the solidity of his flames is shocking. Their toughness seems to be close to a transcendent level defensive weapon… And still increasing!”

“Then what about the third characteristic you sensed?”

Head Arie slightly trembled, shocking the two young women. In their years of life, they had never seen their family head act in such a way.

In this world, there weren’t many things that couldn’t make Head Arie feel fear. She was a supreme dao formation elite who even had a chance to reach the half-step transcendent realm in a few more hundred thousand years.

Even when she faced the extinction of her clan, she stood tall. Even when she heard that her daughter died, although she stopped smiling, she remained strong. Even when her husband left this world before her, she became the bedrock that kept their clan together.

Yet, today, while she watched her grandson struggle with one of the greatest trials he had faced in his young life, she couldn’t help but remember the existence of something that made her feel fear to the depths of her soul.

‘Could it be that I have to be subjected to such a cruel fate? To have to kill my own grandson with my own two hands?… The world can’t be so cruel…’

The second tier became a land of black flame. The lush forests disappeared, the beasts burned to ash, and in the end, there was only a single young man standing in the center of it all, roaring into the skies.

His features were the picture of beauty, his body was rippling with absolute power, but everything about him exuded an aura of absolute darkness… an aura that said he was only capable of destroying.

Nothing deserved to be whole in this world. Everything needed to be eradicated. Everything should give in to Chaos.

Just when everything was about to collapse, a beautiful white flame descended, blessing the lands with absolute purity.
