Chapter 155 The terrifying power of the exploding fireball!
The next morning, Lin Yu greeted Hestia and then went to the dungeon to grind monsters as usual.
Having reached Iv2, the middle level could no longer meet Lin Yu's monster-killing efficiency requirements, so he had to go to the lower level or even deeper.
However, returning to the ground once a day would be a waste of time. Lin Yu had already discussed with Hestia that they would return approximately every three to five days.
Upon entering the dungeon, Lin Yu proceeded to the 27th floor. He then slowed down, as this floor marked the beginning of the floor master Amphispina's territory. Lin Yu's chat group quest required defeating this monster, so he naturally needed to find its trail.
[Oh right, I almost forgot to test the effect of the "Exploding Fireball"!]
While wandering around floor 27 in search of the floor owner, Lin Yu suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered something: testing the specific effects of that awakened magic.
Because I was somewhat disappointed when I awakened the magic, I didn't take it too seriously and almost forgot about it for a while.
[Let's start the test now. Hopefully, it will be better than expected.]
Lin Yu was preparing to test the "Exploding Fireball" spell, but before that, he needed to find a suitable location. The 27th floor was a deep level, and it was relatively safe only if there was an adventurer with a level 4 skill leading the way, so there were almost no adventurers here.
But it's only almost true; there are definitely adventurers on this floor. To avoid attracting them with the noise of testing magic, we need to find a sufficiently secluded place.
After walking for a while, Lin Yu arrived at a relatively remote place on the map. There shouldn't be any adventurers nearby, so he decided to test his skills here.
It must be said that the environment on the 27th floor is quite nice. Although it is still a maze-like environment with rock pillars and walls everywhere, it is very spacious. The ceiling is tens of meters high, and there are streams and creeks everywhere. With some green plants as decoration, it is a pretty good view.
If you get tired of fighting monsters, you can sit down and enjoy the scenery to rest.
But for now, let's test the magic first!
Lin Yu stretched out his hand, and a fist-sized crimson fireball quickly condensed in front of him. Lin Yu could see the raging flames burning inside the fireball, and the surrounding air was somewhat distorted. Anyone who saw it at a glance would know that the fireball was extremely powerful.
【Explosive fireball! 】
With a thought, the fireball flew forward rapidly and landed on the maze wall ten meters away. Then the fireball suddenly exploded with a loud bang, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. A hole with a diameter of more than one meter appeared in the maze wall, and scattered flames burned the ground and walls everywhere.
[Its power is quite good.]
Lin Yu glanced at the scene before him. The power of the "Exploding Fireball" was about what he expected, nothing surprising. However, as a quick-attack spell, its power was not bad. Although it couldn't compare to a killing spell, it was still somewhat useful as an area-of-effect attack spell.
For a single person, it only has some effect. If that's all it's worth, let alone a thousand reward points, even three hundred reward points would be too high. However, this magic is one that can be charged up, so it should be able to increase its power considerably. Therefore, Lin Yu prepared to continue trying.
【Explosive fireball! 】
Lin Yu conjured another fireball in front of him. This time, instead of throwing the fireball directly, he continuously channeled magic into it. One second, two seconds... as the magic continued to flow in, the fireball grew darker and larger, quickly expanding to the size of a basketball.
[Strange, is there no limit to how much power can be charged?]
Lin Yu was a little puzzled. Could it be like Bear Grylls' "Hero's Wish" that it could charge up power for a long time?
But for Lin Yu, charging up for too long, even if the power is good, is not cost-effective.
Three seconds, four seconds...
The charging up continued, but Lin Yu felt something was wrong because the magic power was being consumed too quickly. It was normal for the first second or two, but as time went on, the rate of magic power consumption increased exponentially!
The fireball seemed like a voracious beast, relentlessly devouring Lin Yu's magic power. After growing to the size of a basketball, the fireball stopped growing and the raging flames inside began to calm down, but this calm was undoubtedly the calm before the storm.
[I'd like to see how much magic you can withstand.]
Lin Yu didn't stop, but continued to input magic power, wanting to see the maximum charge limit of "Exploding Fireball".
Five seconds, six seconds...
The rate at which magic power was consumed exceeded Lin Yu's expectations. In just six seconds, Lin Yu felt that most of his magic power had been used up, and the color of the fireball began to change, from red to yellow and even to white. Clearly, the power of the "Exploding Fireball" was increasing.
[I can't keep charging up, I have to unleash it.]
At this moment, the fireball's power was completely contained, and Lin Yu did not feel the scorching temperature as before. However, Lin Yu was still sweating profusely and dared not continue to accumulate power, because Lin Yu knew very well how much magic power he had already invested.
Before entering the DanMachi world, Lin Yu's magic power was roughly at a normal B-rank. After exchanging for "Tears of the Goddess," it instantly increased three to four times. After arriving in the DanMachi world, through the passive effect of "Tears of the Goddess" and the boost brought by the blessing, Lin Yu's magic power was about ten times that of a normal B-rank. And now, Lin Yu has already poured most of his magic power into this "Exploding Fireball."
It's important to know that Rank B is roughly equivalent to Rank Iv5 to Rank Iv6 in the Grace system. With such a massive amount of magic power, it's impossible for Lin Yu to predict what kind of powerful magic it could unleash. He could only be certain that the power would be enormous, but he didn't know what kind of impact it would have, so he couldn't continue.
With a thought, Lin Yu threw the basketball-sized, yellowish-white fireball in front of him, aiming at the maze wall a hundred meters away.
In the blink of an eye, the yellow and white fireball crashed into the wall. What followed was like a collision between Mars and Earth: first a moment of silence, then a deafening roar that resounded throughout the universe. The enormous sound almost deafened Lin Yu, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
Before the sound even reached him, the incredibly dangerous, almost scorching yellow-white flames had already spread throughout the entire maze at supersonic speed. The moment Lin Yu released the fireball, he sensed the danger, instinctively used defensive magic, and then turned and ran away as fast as he could.
The flames spread too quickly and soon caught up with the fleeing Lin Yu. Even with defensive magic, the power of the yellow-white flames was much greater than Lin Yu had anticipated. The defensive magic sizzled the moment it came into contact with the flames, as if it would be burned to ashes in the next second. Lin Yu quickly increased his magic power to maintain the defensive magic and then fled at an even faster speed.
Suddenly, Lin Yu's footing gave way, and he almost fell to the ground. It turned out that the flames had burned away the ground beneath his feet, forcing Lin Yu to use flight magic, which slowed him down considerably.
