Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1575 - 1407: Advancement Failure?

"Fire Source Sphere!"

The appearance of the Fire Source Sphere became the final straw that overwhelmed the Shadow Heart Demon. With a hatred-filled voice, it said, "No wonder your fire abilities are recovering so quickly, this treasure has ultimately fallen into your hands, damn humans, all because of him!"

"Enough with the nonsense, Uncle Yu, Granny Hua were all killed by you. A life for a life, a debt of blood must be repaid with blood!"

Without any expression, the Fire God finished speaking and without further hesitation, pressed the Fire Source Sphere directly into the flames. With a whoosh, both the flames and the demon were sucked into the sphere. Instantly, the sphere’s color turned a dark red.

It must be said, such a death of the Shadow Heart Demon was not what Su Ran wanted to see. Once sucked into the Fire Source Sphere, how could it drop any loot?

Such a rare boss didn’t drop a single coin, let alone a Skill Book. Su Ran could only give up the thought of making a small profit. Even if reluctantly, there was no way to ask the Fire God to slay it again, right?

"Brave warrior, bring the Advancement Scroll quickly. I need to refine it!"

The Fire God looked around and not seeing Su Ran, called out loudly, "This is the best opportunity to advance. It would be such a pity to miss it!"

"Coming, coming!"

Su Ran deactivated his invisibility, hopped down from Wang Cai’s back, and ran to the Fire God, handing over the Advancement Scroll he obtained from the trial, "My lord Fire God, thank you for your efforts."

"It’s only right. I hope you won’t neglect this treasure in the future. Everything in the world has a spirit, and the Fire Source Sphere is no exception. It can accompany you to battlefields, but can also betray you!"

The Fire God took the scroll and earnestly advised. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Su Ran understood that this treasure could indeed betray, or in plain terms, drop equipment upon death.

However, owning a treasure like the Storage Box, he perfectly avoided this risk setting. There was no need to worry too much.

"Your teachings are noted, my lord. I will keep that in mind."

Su Ran really wanted to tell him that it was a treasure that didn’t need to be equipped. It could take effect just by being in the inventory, making it hard to neglect even if he wanted to...

"Back away, don’t let the flames hurt you."

The Fire God kindly warned Su Ran. After speaking, he said no more, sitting down cross-legged on the ground, commencing the advancement process of the Fire Source Sphere.

In such a tiny space, where could he possibly retreat to?

The diameter of the Flame Domain was only three meters. Su Ran stepped back just once and reached the edge of the domain. There was nothing else he could do.

Under the Fire God’s full control, the Fire Source Sphere began to change colors, starting from dark red, gradually being invaded by black. The intertwining of red and black, merging and separating, finally formed a Tai Chi pattern inside the sphere, swiftly rotating.

"This is amazing!"

Su Ran watched the Fire Source Sphere with excitement. He knew well that any treasure featuring a Tai Chi pattern was definitely no ordinary item. This advancement could potentially bring him a big surprise!

The good view didn’t last long. The Tai Chi pattern was maintained for only a few seconds before black started dominating and began eroding the fiery color. It was not hard to suspect that the balance would be broken, just a matter of time.

"Shadow Heart Demon, you shall not resist!"

The Fire God let out a thunderous shout, his body’s flames pouring into the Fire Source Sphere. The fiery color surged, pressing down the blackness relentlessly, stabilizing the Tai Chi pattern once again, as it continued to whirl non-stop.

"Oh my, my lord, please don’t startle me with sudden outbursts. I nearly jumped out of my skin!"

Su Ran could not help but complain. He gleaned an important piece of information from the Fire God’s words—the Shadow Heart Demon wasn’t dead yet!

This guy is really tenacious. Just accept your fate; the earlier you die, the sooner you’re reborn. What’s with all this struggle!

Pure madness!

Under the full suppression of the Fire God, the blackness was directly compressed into a speck, seemingly about to completely merge into the core of the flame source, and the advancement was about to be a great success. But just at this moment, an accident occurred.

The core of the flame source began to vibrate violently, the flames flickering uncertainly, as if there was a loose electrical connection. This surprised Su Ran, who murmured to himself in disbelief. Could it be that the Shadow Heart Demon still refused to give up and was causing trouble again?

"Warrior, quickly get out of the way, it’s dangerous!"

By the time the Fire God sensed the anomaly, it was too late to suppress it. As soon as he spoke, the core of the flame source exploded on the spot, and a massive burst of flames spread out, covering the entire domain space in a sea of fire.

The Fire God was not greatly affected by this sudden situation; a trace of self-reproach flashed in his eyes. Su Ran was his lifesaver; if his negligence caused his benefactor to lose his life, he would never be able to get over it in his conscience...

Even the Fire God felt threatened by the lethality of the explosion from the core of the flame source, let alone this frail human. Whether he could survive this calamity was now up to fate.

However, the next scene turned the Fire God’s understanding on its head. After the flames dissipated, the cloaked human appeared unscathed in his line of sight, not even a single injury on him, which was simply unbelievable!

"Warrior, you... are you unharmed?"

"What, you hoping I did get hurt?"

Su Ran was defeated by the Fire God’s silly remarks. However, the situation just now was indeed dangerous. If it wasn’t for the Blazing Fire Divine Curse special ability on the Fire-Resistant Mask, he would have been done for...

(Blazing Fire Divine Curse—Grants fire resistance, ignores fire damage, lasts for three minutes, skill cooldown is 10 minutes.)

Ignoring fire damage for three minutes, just perfect for this situation!

Right now, Su Ran wasn’t in the mood to think about anything else, his eyes intently fixed on the Fire God’s hands, as he eagerly asked: "Your Excellency, is my flame source core alright?"

"Foolishness! The core of the flame source is a treasure; how could it be so easily destroyed?"

The Fire God glared at Su Ran, as if tarnishing the reputation of the flame source core was also an insult to him.

"Take it, the advancement is complete!"

"Ah ha, thank you grea... I go, what is this thing?"

The moment he heard that the advancement was complete, Su Ran, with a face full of joy, reached out to take the flame source core. But upon seeing the black, pockmarked, shabby thing in the Fire God’s hand, he was dumbfounded.

Is this still the flame source... er no, is this still even a sphere?

Everyone else goes from a wild chicken to a phoenix, but this turned from a dazzling phoenix into a black crow!

At this moment, Su Ran truly wanted to ask the system, is it okay to curse?

Forget it, spewing profanities is likely to get muted by the system; and considering the Fire God’s formidable strength, he really couldn’t afford to provoke him. No choice but to endure it.

"Your Excellency, are you sure you didn’t grab the wrong one?"

Su Ran asked uncertainly, hoping dearly the Fire God would replace it with a new one, as long as it was the original design!

"Cough cough, there was a small mishap, but rest assured, it does not affect its use."

The Fire God also felt a bit embarrassed; helping to advance the rank but ending up with this ghostly appearance, this was truly a case of good intentions gone awry!

"..."

Resisting the urge to vomit, Su Ran took the dark and shabby object in hand and directly cast the Detection Technique on it.
