My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Belief in Flamefire

The world is becoming more and more unsafe, with three minor Mysterious Evils appearing just within the South City area in the last two days.

The frequency of their appearance has risen again, and significantly at that!

It’s the same on the internet. Now an insider, he can distinguish between rumors that are true and those that are false. The conclusion he’s drawn is — incidents are increasing!

He looked back in time.

When exactly the Mysterious Evils first appeared, he was not sure, but such abnormal events were very, very rare before, most of them nothing more than sensational entertainment news.

The real increase started around a few months ago, gradually rising but recently, it skyrocketed!

What this world will ultimately become, he did not know. He only knew that the Mysterious Evils have always been dangerous. He was able to thrash those minor Mysterious Evils time and time again, but that was merely him taking advantage of the situation.

He had been well aware of the existence of Mysterious Evils and had used their tracking to see clearly, which allowed him to attack directly and gain the upper hand.

If it were an encounter battle, the danger would be far greater.

Only by Awakening could one truly have the Ability to thrash minor Mysterious Evils and confront the significant Mysterious Evils.

“Bring it on!”

Fang You sat in the living room, the space that he had converted into a ‘training room’ fostering his focus, with no distractions. All he did was stare at the cell phone in front of him.

He chose to lead his Awakening, and the target was himself!

‘Prompt: This Awakening guidance will consume ‘Destiny Point ×1’, ‘Mystery Crystal ×3′. The chance of Awakening is 82%. If the first attempt fails, the second attempt at Awakening will require more resources.’

‘Prompt: Do you want to start the Awakening guidance?’

Fang You: “???”

Although now a mere 1 Destiny Point and 3 Mystery Crystals were not a big deal, although…

There were many ‘althoughs’, but… he remembered that when guiding Black Blade’s Awakening, the chance was 90%! How come it dropped to 82% when it came to him? Is he being looked down upon, the Savior of Destiny?

Flip the table! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!

Whew~ Whew~ Calm down.

If he couldn’t match it, then so be it. He had to get used to it. An 82% chance of success was not low either, and even if he failed, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Maintaining a stable and peaceful mindset was the most important thing.

Fang You adjusted his emotions, and once he felt stable, he pressed on his phone screen and set the phone aside.

The guidance had begun!

He sat casually, immersing himself deeper and deeper in his thoughts, time becoming irrelevant. Suddenly, at a certain moment, some invisible, intangible factor within him began to boil.

A mysterious boiling!

He felt as if he was falling into an abyss. Darkness surrounded him on all sides, winds howling, beasts bellowing. Terrible and strange powers surged towards him like a tide, continuously battering his defenses.

Inside, it seemed as though a voice was echoing endlessly.

Succumb, for succumbing is the strongest. Embrace the Mysterious Evil and fully merge with the mystical force, and power will be at your fingertips, wealth and influence too!

Countless ugly, twisted, and grinning shadows were clutching at him, dragging him toward the dark, deep abyss.

With every moment that passed, his power grew.

There is nothing wrong, complete succumbing is indeed the ultimate strength.

But!

Mysterious Evil? Such an unsightly thing. What use is such a strong power for that? I choose to be handsome! Handsome is for life!

The temptation was great, but the direction was wrong. If it were the allure of sensuality, Fang You guessed it would be very difficult for him to escape it, but power? At least power gained at the expense of everything else is meaningless.

The mysterious force was boiling.

The shadows were tearing at him.

Fang You’s face contorted and his fists clenched tightly, but a real man doesn’t fear such pain! Just consider it like undergoing surgery or a piercing without anesthetic. It’s not a big problem; even if it’s big, he’d endure!

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he gradually got accustomed to it, and the surrounding darkness disappeared.

It left swiftly.

It felt as if he had leapt out of the water, the pressure around his body dissipating, leaving him with vast skies where birds could soar and open seas where fish could leap.

Invisible power burst forth from Fang You’s body, whipping up gusts of wind.

He stood up, his body now drenched in sweat, yet filled with surging strength, an extraordinarily powerful strength, a strength that I even feared!

With a slight exertion of force in his legs, he jumped and touched the ceiling, each nonchalant punch and kick bringing a howling wind.

Fang You even held back, fearing that an accidental kick might punch a hole in the wall.

And within him, there was a force that he could guide, a force indescribable.

Life energy!

“Is this what life energy is?”

Fang You picked up the Wooden Sword for beginners, which had always been almost a decoration in his hands. The Wooden Sword itself was lethal, but it was far from capable of killing Mysterious Evils; it was merely scratching the surface.

And his killer move, Palm Thunder, did not require a sword. Stuck in a limbo, he even had to disguise his carrying of a sword when going out, which was quite troublesome.

“But in fact, it’s not that the Wooden Sword for beginners is weak. This type of white-grade weapon is actually meant for those who have undergone an Awakening. Without Awakening…”

It’s like a person who has a gun but no bullets, who can only use the butt of the gun to hit someone, which is hardly damaging.

Now it’s different. Life energy is the bullet for this sword.

“Before, my basic Swordsmanship could only scratch, but now, with just the basics, I estimate the damage dealt could be quite remarkable. Facing the Mysterious Evil, I wouldn’t be limited to only starting with Palm Thunder.”

“My options have become richer, and the expenditure will definitely be lowered.”

“Specifically, I still need to find a lesser Mysterious Evil to test my sword.”

Fang You picked up his phone and pulled up his own panel.

‘Savior of Destiny (One-time Awakening)’

‘Physique: 2.7+2.9’

‘Spirit: 1.6+1.6’

‘Mystery: 0’

‘Life Energy: 4.4’ (5.6×0.5+3.2×0.5)

‘Skills: Omitted’

‘Equipment: Wooden Sword for Beginners’

‘Ability: Flamefire Conviction’

Fang You’s eyes widened as he did some calculations. Hmm, his physique had not increased as much as Black Blade’s, but when combining physique and spirit, he actually had 0.2 points more than Brother Black Blade.

As expected of me!

As expected of the legendary Awakening, stats doubling in two dimensions, acquiring life energy, truly bringing out the potential of equipment, and acquiring an Awakened Ability.

This wave, oh, it’s mighty impressive!

It’s just this Awakened Ability that’s a bit confusing, ‘Flamefire Conviction’ – what’s that all about? The name alone gives no clue as to what kind of ability this might be.

Hope it’s incredibly strong, worthy of the name Savior of Destiny.

He pulled up the detailed description.

‘Flamefire Conviction’

‘Description: When a strong conviction appears nearby, one can gather the power of this conviction as fuel to stoke the fire, using it to amplify a certain aspect (body, skills, talents). The more and the purer the gathered conviction power, and the more it aligns with the direction of the conviction, the stronger the flames will burn, and the greater the amplification.’

‘Note: Awakened Abilities can be enhanced through training, further Awakening, etc.’

‘Evaluation: When a person’s conviction is strong enough, the Savior of Destiny will cast his gaze, igniting the fire of hope with the person’s conviction as fuel, which is… an enduring flame!’
