Chapter 446: Heart of Fireman
Bang!
Kaito Shirogane's right arm muscles bulged, punching out. The giant beast shaped like Godzilla roared in pain, its head knocked askew, and its body staggered two steps towards the building next to it.
Smashing more than half of the building.
Kaito didn't know the true identity of the Reincarnator, nor did he know how the so-called information modification by Multi-Faced Aliens exactly turned a Reincarnator into this kind of giant beast.
But he knew that killing the opponent in this state had a very high probability of extracting a large amount of Constitution attributes.
Kaito pointed a finger. Dodon Ray triggered an explosion on the giant beast's body surface again, but the damage wasn't obvious.
He consciously guided the monster's behavior constantly, guiding it as much as possible towards the coordinates where Reincarnators previously stayed.
This giant beast might have great destructive power against the city, but facing him, essentially the compatibility was extremely poor.
Kaito belonged to a highly mobile, highly destructive small-sized individual. A giant beast of Godzilla's size found it difficult to hit him. He could also dodge its powerful breath ability quite easily.
Hum~
Blue-white light gathered in the giant beast's mouth again. The radiation value at this moment probably went off the charts. Even with Kaito's constitution and defense, he felt an unbearable itching on his skin, and Scales of the Fire Dragon involuntarily emerged.
Kaito's figure drifted, deliberately revealing himself from the wind.
The giant beast had no rationality, breathing directly at Kaito.
Kaito easily took a step, his figure catapulting from the air. The giant beast's breath chased his figure, directly carving a terrible scar in the city.
In the city below, someone finally couldn't hold back. Kaito saw a figure wrapped in flames jumping out of a building full of windows just as the atomic breath was about to hit the building.
Flames wrapped around his body as he flew through the air towards the sea.
The flight speed wasn't slow, but hadn't reached the speed of sound.
The corner of Kaito's mouth hooked up. He immediately bent his knees, stepping dozens of times consecutively under his feet. The air stagnated like a solid state.
Bang!
White ripples spread out circle by circle. Kaito tore through the air like a sharp arrow, chasing after the burning man.
The means of Black Ball Team members in this world were very singular. Such an illustrious ability was clearly a Reincarnator at a glance.
[Fireman]'s black jacket had burned away in the flames. He had a mutant bloodline. He possessed the ability to manipulate flames, but couldn't generate flames independently.
Therefore, he had to use Captain Black Dragon's dragon fire or items he carried to generate flames.
At this moment, Fireman enjoyed the final burning in his life. He knew very well that as long as he showed up, Mercenary Tao would most likely come to hunt him down.
And he absolutely couldn't escape from the opponent's hands.
But... only in this way did the captain and Omega have a chance to live.
"Whoa~ Whoa!"
Fireman shouted loudly while flying. The fear of death approaching, in that great cause of sacrificing himself to fulfill his teammates, turned into a strange emotion mixed with fear and excitement.
"Come chase me, Mercenary Tao!"
He roared angrily, but in the next moment, a hand was already pressed on his neck. The burning flames couldn't cause any impact on Mercenary Tao at all.
Out of the corner of his eye, Fireman saw pitch-black Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki). While his heart turned cold, two bottles appeared in his hands.
He directly clapped his hands together. The two bottles collided and shattered instantly. Green flames erupted from the bottles with a boom.
[Wildfire], also a special item from the A Song of Ice and Fire world. The power of this flame was much greater than ordinary flames.
And it could be contained in bottles, making it a highly efficient item for him.
Flames reached his body; skin curled instantly. In pain, Fireman thought if he burned himself to death at this time, it would probably be the biggest mockery to Mercenary Tao.
Hum~
A monstrous force suddenly struck. Accompanied by a crack, the man's spine was completely shattered. The terrible force instantly stopped the man's flight in mid-air.
Amidst the burning of Wildfire, Kaito's whole body was wrapped in Busoshoku Haki. He read the man's thoughts with interest.
At the same time, [Mantra] adjusted silently. He began to be able to passively monitor the locations of everyone within range who mentioned a certain word.
"Fireman, right? I have to say, your self-touching heroism entertained me very well."
Kaito lifted the Reincarnator whose lower body was paralyzed due to a shattered spine. Even with flames burning his body, he couldn't feel pain.
Their eyes met. Kaito said with a wicked taste:
"Do you know? Your teammates are constantly chanting your name, remembering your heroism..."
"Thinking like this, do you feel your sacrifice has meaning?"
Kaito held the opponent with his left hand, while his right hand rubbed inch by inch over the opponent's chest, finally stopping in front of the violently beating heart.
He looked back at the giant beast constantly roaring and destroying due to losing its target. At the same time, the effect of Mantra Lv4 allowed him to clearly hear in the building over there.
Several Reincarnators were grieving and angry because of the self-sacrificing performance of the man in his hand.
"Tell me, at this moment, is this beating thing the Heart?"
Fireman looked at Mercenary Tao in confusion. He began to be unable to hear the opponent's words clearly. The severe pain from Wildfire burning disappeared due to the shattered spine, but what drained away together was his life force.
His brain began to lose blood supply. His organs everywhere began to stop working.
He was about to die.
[Fireman] Yan Chengxin suddenly felt very sad. He thought of his farming parents at home. Those two always thought he found a good job to earn so much money.
When I die, what will they do...
Kaito tilted his head, feeling those intense emotions, and the spirit of the man fluctuating constantly along with these emotions.
He finally grasped a trace of [Heart].
Splurt!
Before the man was about to be burned to death by his own Wildfire, Kaito gently pierced the opponent's chest.
...
In the building, Lancer drew a magic circle and planted a seedling of a strange tree.
Omega was somewhat depressed at this time. The sudden Purge Mission made Omega, who always liked to use information to snatch maximum benefits in mission worlds, feel very guilty.
Feeling it was he who caused the deaths of [Ghost Talent] and [Fireman].
"Time to go, Omega. Fireman's sacrifice is valuable."
Lancer completed the ritual. He received a prompt, unlocking the reputation of [Outer God's Abode] again.
As long as they could successfully plant the faith of the [Old Gods] in this world, then they could get some extra rewards.
Now, only this way of completely transforming the world and introducing Outer Gods could somehow make up for their lack of combat power and compensate for the loss of two dead members.
Boom!
A terrible roar rang out again. That was a posture only a certain unit flying at supersonic speeds would produce.
Almost at the moment the sound rang out, Lancer's eyes showed shock. He instantly pressed his heavy sword with both hands. An invisible [En] (Circle) appeared around him.
Bang!
At the moment the outer wall of the building shattered, a figure wrapped in white smoke crashed into the [En] in front of Lancer with a boom.
Lancer's body was incredibly fast at this instant. At the moment Mercenary Tao crashed in front of him, the heavy sword drew a silver line, slashing Mercenary Tao's neck.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed.
"Got him?!"
Omega was delighted in his heart, then saw Mercenary Tao, with more than half his neck slashed open, tilting his head and handing out an item.
"Can you tell me, how did you obtain... this kind of [Heart]?"
Boom! Bright yellow flames ignited on Lancer's body.
