It could be called an arsonist's feast. In the blink of an eye, the flas blazed brightly, setting everything ablaze.
The nurous creatures running rampant were swallowed by the wave of fire. Their screams, whether strong or weak, lasted only a few seconds before gradually fading.
It was far too easy.
Starting such a massive fire was far too effortless.
Law had once encountered a Nen User at Heavens Arena who could manipulate flas. Although his system wasn't very mature, he was still a qualified arsonist.
That person transmuted his Aura into gasoline and then ignited it with fire to achieve control over flas.
Even so, the ability to turn aura into gasoline was due to that person's unique physique, as he had loved drinking gasoline since childhood.
To take it a step further, directly transmuting Aura into flas requires personally experiencing the taste of fire with one's body, otherwise, it is very difficult to succeed.
For example, Killua's ability to transmute his Aura into electricity is because he endured electric torture since childhood… a result determined by physical factors.
Like Feitan's [Rising Sun], which also fundantally changes the nature of Aura, but when you trace it back, it's more like materializing 'rage'. It discards physical factors and directly materializes ntal factors, yet that requires harsh restrictions to support.
The wave of flas dissipated, leaving the air filled with a pungent, charred sll.
Looking around, the ground was littered with charred corpses. In just those dozen or so seconds, hundreds of underground creatures had died in the flas.
Law looked down at the Chasefire Stone in his palm, emitting a faint red glow, and pursed his lips in silence. He had still underestimated the power unleashed by the fragnts of the Chasefire Stone.
Too simple, too effortless.
This was sothing produced from the Dark Continent. In so aspects, it thoroughly suppressed the effects of Nen.
A Nen User might spend decades painstakingly training, only to be surpassed by a few fragnts that could start a prairie fire.
Law thought this way, but he completely failed to consider that the energy released by the Chasefire Stone fragnts was indiscriminate… it was, after all, an external force that could only be used to a limited extent.
If he didn't have the protection of his Domain and Grass Jelly, how could he have unleashed such a massive fire?
Probably, the temperature emitted by the fire, while burning the enemies, would also instantly dry up all the moisture in his body.
Law didn't think of this. He reined in his fluctuating emotions, turned to look at Biscuit in the distance, and said with a straight face and a smile, "The power is impressive, right?"
"It's very dangerous, isn't it?"
Biscuit didn't agree with the 'power' aspect. She never subjectively influenced Law's judgnts, but she was like a thin thread that could always pass through the eye of a needle, often giving Law so necessary reminders.
"Yeah, it can be considered a drawback. If you're not careful, it could lead to self-immolation," Law said, looking at Biscuit with a smile, "But it doesn't affect ."
At this point, he showed a regretful expression and sighed, "It's a pity that even the lowest level of power would instantly char the ingredients. It really isn't suitable as a portable cooking fire."
Even when separated in the finest form, it could instantly trigger powerful fire energy. From start to finish, it was an overwhelmingly offensive characteristic, completely unsuitable for cooking.
Biscuit rubbed her forehead, feeling that Law's focus deviation was outrageous enough. As soone who held the title of Gourt Hunter, it wasn't entirely unreasonable for him to have such considerations, but the stone was indeed too dangerous.
"Does it detonate imdiately upon separation?" Biscuit asked, glancing around at the various charred corpses burned by the fierce fire.
"Not imdiately, but after 0.8 seconds," Law replied.
"Unimaginable."
Biscuit stared at the Chasefire Stone and murmured, "Its own hardness doesn't seem very high. It feels like even a slight bump could cause fragnts to fall off."
Though she had such thoughts, Biscuit didn't dare to verify them personally. Even lightly rubbing the Chasefire Stone like chalk on rock ground could potentially lead to self-immolation.
"Correct," Law confird Biscuit's speculation.
The Chasefire Stone was indeed peculiar. It released fire energy by chipping off fragnts, yet its hardness was low. Carrying it around was like carrying a ti bomb, with many drawbacks.
For example, if you carried the Chasefire Stone in your pocket and accidentally fell, and the stone unfortunately hit the ground, then...
Because of this drawback, whether it was the Slu Tribe or the rooster nad Burning Feather, when absorbing the energy of the Chasefire Stone, they must have used so thod to perfectly embed the stone in soft flesh.
That way, they could avoid the risk of self-immolation.
In other words, any drawback can be circumvented with corresponding thods, but the key is still so inherent contradictions of the Chasefire Stone itself.
"It's a thoroughly dangerous item," Biscuit said, placing the Chasefire Stone back with extrely gentle technique.
"But it's very useful."
Law walked over quickly. The drawbacks of the Chasefire Stone ant nothing to him.
The indiscriminate nature? He had the protection of his Domain and Grass Jelly.
The low hardness disadvantage? He had Kuro's space for storage and could take it out whenever he wanted to use it.
It couldn't be called tailor-made, but judging from the charred corpses around, at least the Chasefire Stone could be used to clear out so endlessly troubleso small fries without wasting too much Aura, so why not?
Biscuit glanced at the hundreds of underground creatures swallowed by the fire and couldn't deny Law's point.
Who wouldn't want a tool that could sweep away obstacles without lifting a finger?
Without a doubt, the earlier prairie fire had frightened Bruna and also greatly shaken Kuro.
"I think it's inappropriate," Kuro refuted very seriously, because Law wanted to store that dangerous item in his stomach.
"Really?" Law asked for confirmation again.
"Really!" Kuro said with certainty.
"Then you should find a way to make it appropriate."
Ignoring Kuro's opposition, Law stuffed all the loot into Kuro's mouth, letting Kuro allocate the storage himself.
Kuro once again yielded to authority, but he also gained a benefit: he could eat one of the rooster's legs. Unfortunately, Law didn't plan to cook the rooster imdiately, seemingly due to insufficient ingredients.
Tonpa arrived late, looking at the charred corpses as if he had seen a ghost. He had actually seen the firelight from afar, and as he approached, he had slled the pungent charred odor.
Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it was Law's doing.
This was sothing that wouldn't have happened a day ago.
"It's ti to go."
Law looked back in the direction of the earth's core area. The threat of the magma tide was too great, making it unsuitable for further exploration, but they had obtained so good things.
'The journey through the underground world should end here. As for the other human tribes living in the underground world, if there was a chance...'
Everyone turned to leave.
"When are you going to cook that chicken?" Kuro pestered endlessly.
"We're missing so things. Let's go to the surface first," Law replied.
"What things?" Kuro asked.
"We still need a type of fruit, a type of vegetable, and sothing even more crucial."
