Chapter 360: This Skill Set Is Simply Too Badass! The Ultimate Is Total, Pure Ignition!
Accompanied by Feathered Spirit's steady voice.
The video showed Firefly on screen.
A faint smile hung on the corners of her lips.
One hand held her phone like a small mirror, while the other tidied the loose hair by her ear.
"Firefly is a Fire-type character following the Path of Destruction."
"This highly trained warrior fights while wearing the Firefly Type-IV Strategic Assault Armor, codenamed [ SAM ]."
"She reaps the battlefield with overwhelming force."
The screen shifted.
The previously quiet and cute girl instantly transformed into a suit of armor gleaming with metallic luster!
A V-shaped flame was burning on its chest!
...
"The art style just did a 180!"
"One second she's the gentle and cute Miss Firefly, the next she's a Molten Knight that could punch me into ash… Who else gets this contrast?"
"I just want to ask, if I get Firefly's transformation device, can I also pilot SAM?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It really is piloting SAM to fight!"
"Pull for Firefly and get SAM for free, this is a must-pull!"
"Is it starting right off in the Secondary Combustion state?"
"I wonder if there will be that awakened form from the Glamoth's Ember, the way those wings spread out is just too cool!"
...
Firefly sat up straight.
Her expression became serious.
Because,
the combat showcase was about to begin!
Previously, when SAM appeared as a boss, the skill effects were already explosive.
Now that it had become a playable character.
There should be some changes, right?
"When using a Basic ATK, the SAM armor deals Fire-type damage to a single designated enemy."
At this moment, SAM maintained a stance ready to strike.
It seemed as if, in the next second, it would pounce forward like a beast!
Flames gathered on the right fist.
SAM lunged forward, closing the distance to the enemy in a flash.
A punch imbued with intense, scorching flames struck out mercilessly!
In front of the screen.
Firefly nodded slightly.
As the pilot of SAM, she could see more than the average player.
What looked like a simple punch was, in reality, energy transmission concentrated in the wrist guard and gauntlet, while utilizing the jet propulsion at the elbow joint to execute a fierce, lightning-fast straight punch.
It was a simple and effective move for SAM.
As a Basic ATK, it was very appropriate.
"When using a Skill, the SAM armor consumes a portion of its own HP to recover a fixed percentage of energy."
"And deals higher Fire-type damage to a single designated enemy."
When switching to the Skill.
SAM immediately crouched down.
Both hands kept its balance.
And the jet system on its legs began to operate.
At the moment of activation.
SAM leaped up from the ground as if it were a spring.
It jumped directly above the enemy!
Its legs were already burning with raging flames.
"Boom~!"
Like a cannonball.
The flying kick struck the top of the enemy's head!
Instantly detonating the surrounding area!
...
"Holy sh*t! They actually implemented this move!"
"This flying kick is too cool!"
"Ahhhhh, I can't wait, I WANT TO PILOT THE SAM ARMOR RIGHT NOW!!!"
"I got kicked over by this move when fighting the SAM boss before, and now I can finally use this move to kick others!"
"I can't imagine how Firefly in the armor pulls off this move…"
"Combat, satisfying!"
...
In front of the screen.
Firefly was also a little excited!
She couldn't help but blurt out: "Cool!"
If the Skill was already like this.
Then, what about the Ultimate?
Firefly guessed it might be rushing directly into the sky and then falling like a meteor.
Opening the combustion output to the maximum, shattering the earth with a punch, and setting the battlefield ablaze!
And it had to be accompanied by the line—
"I will, set the sea ablaze!"
Just imagining it like that.
Firefly herself felt it was very cool!
At this moment.
It was finally time to activate the Ultimate.
[ Ultimate: Firefly Type-IV: Complete Combustion ]
On the screen.
Firefly's figure appeared.
It was exactly the motion she used with her transformation device.
There was even a phantom of SAM behind her!
However.
This SAM was not the SAM armor in its normal state!
But one intertwined with cyan flames!
And it even had extra cyan swords!
Combined with the name of this Ultimate.
Firefly realized it immediately!
Feathered Spirit is…
Did he really craft her form into the game!?
At this moment.
The screen cut back to the interior of the armor.
It gave a close-up of Firefly's face.
Traces of erosion caused by Entropy Loss Syndrome had already appeared on her face.
But her expression instantly became incredibly firm.
Her pupils were coated with a layer of cyan highlights!
SAM's mask covered her face.
As if the two merged into one in that instant!
Cyan flames also spread out from her face.
Extending downwards.
Like a firefly breaking out of its cocoon!
Wings made of cyan flames spread out!
At the same time.
Two swords made of interwoven particles appeared in its hands!
"The SAM armor will enter the Complete Combustion state, action advanced by 100%, and the Basic ATK and Skill will be enhanced."
"In this form, the energy erupted from the armor's power furnace undergoes a change in nature…"
"Rather than saying this is a product of the armor's hidden mode, it is better to say that this is the form manifested from the user's powerful consciousness."
...
"So cool, ahhhhhhh!"
"Feathered Spirit, you've done well! You actually put this form in the game?!!!"
"And a whole new set of Basic ATK and Skill?"
"Huh?"
"Isn't the Ultimate 'I will set the sea ablaze'?"
"Didn't you watch Glamoth's Ember? This form can blow up a star in minutes!"
"It's no longer setting the sea ablaze; it can set the sea of stars ablaze!"
"My god! Debuff removal, self-action advance, high damage boost… Is Firefly Feathered Spirit's favorite daughter?"
"Jing Yuan: Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
...
Seeing that her Ultimate was actually this form.
Even Firefly herself was taken aback!
To be honest.
Since she awakened this posture back then, becoming the last Glamoth Iron Cavalry…
Later joining the Stellaron Hunters.
Basically.
The missions she executed only required the normal state of SAM.
At most, opening the [ Secondary Combustion ] state.
And this [ Complete Combustion ] posture, even Firefly herself hadn't used it many times!
And Feathered Spirit was actually able to explain it in such detail.
And he even specifically crafted skills for this form!
He simply understood her better than she understood herself!
Now she had to seriously study it…
Perhaps.
Through her in-game self, she could bring some inspiration to her real self.
Feathered Spirit continued to introduce: "This change brings not only a difference in appearance, but also greater destructive power!"
"When using the Enhanced Basic ATK, the SAM armor recovers HP and deals higher Fire-type damage to a single designated enemy."
SAM flashed in front of the enemy.
First, two quick slashes, then it leaped high into the air with the kinetic energy from the slashes.
With the dual swords crossed.
It slashed down an X-shaped sword energy.
"When using the Enhanced Skill, the SAM armor recovers HP and applies a Fire-type Weakness to a single designated enemy for a certain number of turns, while dealing Fire-type damage based on its own Break Effect and ATK to the target and adjacent targets."
At the moment of release.
There was a brief glimpse of Firefly in the armor cockpit!
At the same time, SAM also rushed into the high heavens!
When it reached the highest point.
The cyan flame wings behind it bloomed in an instant!
Like a canopy of heaven!
Covering the entire screen!
In the next second.
The SAM in the high sky swooped down rapidly!
Sweeping across the center of the screen.
It rushed to the side of the enemy unit.
Then.
Only cyan sword lights were seen interweaving!
As if slashing out a galaxy!
SAM's figure returned.
And around the enemy.
Dazzling cyan flames burst forth!
Then it soared into the sky!
Forming a massive energy pulse.
...
"Holy sh*t?"
"This is way too cool, isn't it?"
"I almost thought she was going to rush out of the screen…"
"With this strike, I'm afraid she could slash a planet apart, right?!"
"It's a lock!"
"Beyond god-tier!"
"These light wings, blotting out the sky! Too cool!"
"This Break damage is going to be heaven-defying!"
"And it can apply Weakness itself… the value of a certain character is falling again."
"Silver Wolf: Are you talking about me?"
"Silver Wolf: Kids, this isn't funny."
