[Charles Burning Technique]!
This was the skill Jason had selected.
Within Jason’s skill system, there weren’t many skills that directly exhibited a clear ’combat’ style, and [Charles Burning Technique] was definitely one of them.
And at the Proficiency Level, [Charles Burning Technique] possessed the power above bullet level, which was sufficient for handling most normal situations, but it wasn’t overwhelming. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Enhance the [Charles Burning Technique]!"
Roar!
A faint dragon’s roar sounded.
No form appeared within Jason’s ’vision’.
That was just a tremor originating from his heart, upon the two Dufol Language symbols ui and cx.
The next moment, these two symbols morphed into a bright gold and crimson star.
Bright gold for ui!
Crimson for cx!
Their interplay made the dragon’s roar clearer.
After Jason’s heart throbbed violently a few times, a scorching-hot blood, like blazing flames, surged into his veins.
There was no abnormality.
No discomfort either.
To Jason, a shattered heart countless times over was just as natural as breathing; such changes that caused no real harm were nothing.
The burning blood eventually flowed towards Jason’s hands.
After a slight sting, everything returned to normal.
[Charles Burning Technique (Expert): A secret technique that can be cast without gestures or the chanting of Dufol symbols, but it requires a significant amount of mystical knowledge and solid tenacity as a foundation; where it originally came from can no longer be investigated, even Gerard, who uncovered this secret technique from relics, doesn’t know, only determining that it comes from a very ancient era’s different system; to adapt this secret technique to the systems of this era, Gerard did a series of revisions and supplements, leading to significant changes from its origin; Effect: Consumes a small amount of Physical Strength to create a conical (45°, 8 meters long, 0.8 meters high) bomb-level Flame from the palm, which, when continuously sprayed, will keep consuming Physical Strength; You can choose either hand to attack, or use both hands to release two Flames simultaneously, but the Physical Strength consumption doubles.]
...
[Charles Burning Technique advanced to Proficiency Level, gaining the inherent mastery option: Flame Transformation]
[Flame Transformation: You can choose to spray flames in the original manner or change the shape of the Flame, making it adhere to the fist or shoot out as fireballs; the base power of the Flame remains unchanged, adhering to the fist reduces Physical Strength, providing more than blade-level protection to both hands; when shooting out fireballs, the fireball radius is 0.35 meters, its velocity and distance depend on your own Strength]
...
25 points of satiety and 2 Excitement of Feasts raised [Charles Burning Technique] to the expert level, directly increasing the power of the Flame to bomb level, [Flame Transformation] was also slightly enhanced.
The next level requires 40 points of satiety and 3 Excitement of Feasts.
It could be considered up to standard.
Whew!
With a thought from Jason, a fireball appeared directly in his palm.
Feeling the brightness and heat of the fireball, Jason whispered—
"Burn everything to the ground... ’Claw 11’!"
...
"A heretical city!"
Divano took a deep breath before saying so.
"My lord, please bear with it," said the man driving the car in a low voice.
"For the glory of my master, I will endure," Divano replied as he prayed softly. After completing his prayer, the middle-aged man dressed in an ancient robe, with neatly combed brown hair and a clean visage, continued to ask, "Have you investigated clearly what is called ’Hydra’?"
"I have investigated clearly."
"’Hydra’ is an organization hidden in Ang City, existing for over a hundred years. Initially, it was just a small group of soldiers, but as time passed, this small group became a behemoth, especially smooth after the ’Night Owl Court’ got involved.
"But this smoothness was unknown to ’Hydra’; they hoped to gain ultimate control over Ang City."
"After the ’Masked Man’ was stabbed by the Knight, it marked the beginning of recent events—based on our speculation, ’Masked Man’ should be one of the upper echelons of Hydra, aware of the ’Night Owl Court’s existence, while ’Night Owl Court’ wished to erase ’Masked Man’, the one who broke the balance; thus, once the Knight had injured ’Masked Man’, ’Night Owl Court’ took advantage of the situation to do something, leading to ’Masked Man’ and his colleague Aras rebelling; in the name of ’Hydra’, they began to win over those faction members, preparing to trouble the ’Night Owl Court’."
"They just misjudged the ’Night Owl Court’s power, likely getting crushed at the outset, forcing them to hide, and some of the not-so-loyal ’Hydra’ members also faced punishment."
"Just now, ’Claw 13’ killed Shaun of the ’Sanctuary’ and did not immediately vanish, but instead searched within Ang City; we speculate he’s looking for ’Masked Man’ and Aras."
The driver, also an ’Sanctuary’ intelligence agent, spoke in detail.
This was what he and the others from the ’Sanctuary’ deduced from recent events in Ang City.
The driver was quite confident in his deduction.
After all, these events were collected by him and his subordinates and then underwent the most meticulous analysis.
In Ang City, the ’Sanctuary’s people were not just those taken out by Jason; they had a network of ordinary people forming an intelligence organization that had infiltrated various industries using the ’Holy Serpent Society’ approach.
