The light red centaur, with enchanting fiery red hair that stretched to her waist, was protected by brass Valkyrie armor on critical areas, but much of it was merely for decor.
She, herself, was the ultimate weapon.
[Little Flame (Lower Gold creature)]
[Physique: Mid-Level Golden, Reflex: Lower Gold, Spirit: Lower Gold.]
The past records of her lava bloodline and magma constitution had completely disappeared, transformed the moment she became a Rule-level by achieving a qualitative change.
[Little Flame’s Holy Fire Blood (Lower Gold Tier): Her body is a condensed form of intense flames, containing the rules of "Purification," "Erosion," "Splitting," "High Temperature," etc.]
A seemingly simple explanation replaced the previously chaotic and cluttered abilities but, in fact, emphasized her potent true nature.
She no longer needed the circlets of fire that her blood once spouted; she herself was the condensed flame, always ready to transform into extraordinary blazes... This could show that her evolution was truly an evolution of her fiery essence. Now integrated with at least four Saint Flame rules, even Lu Ping’an would not want to try it.
[Eternal Blazing Heat (Lower Gold Bloodline Trait): Boiling blood never cools; as long as life persists, there is no concept of physical strength (can use life force to offset the consumption of physical strength), life force can be replenished by feeding on flames/plundering body heat...]
The past trait of ignoring fatigue had also evolved.
But just this level alone would not qualify as a Rule-level creature. What truly evolved were the following abilities.
[Blazing Inferno (Lower Gold): Assimilate other flames, transforming them into her own signature Holy Flames.]
A straightforward explanation that, combined with other abilities, signifies a true battlefield slaughter machine... Her bloodline shows she is made from her own flames; as long as she keeps transforming other flames, she compensates for her lacking body and life force.
Thus, she gained the capital to use the following new ability.
[Child of the Crimson Star (Lower Gold): Splits into Child Bodies, each capable of independent action, and each flame’s limit is approximately 80% of the original body’s.]
To her left side was embedded one star, and two on her right, suggesting she could split into at least three clones... Being assaulted by three Rule-level fiery creatures is likely very deadly.
And having consumed the legacy of the Crimson Star, she also compensated for her biggest flaw—lack of attack power.
Although blazes and Holy Flames had always been lethal, sustaining a barbecue and continued burning of an opponent in high-end professions’ combat was an incredibly difficult feat—firework intensity determined the attack range, and intensity (attack power) and range couldn’t coexist; to inflict fatal wounds on strongmen required close-quarters combat... but if you are close enough to fight, why not just tear the opponent apart?
[Fury of the Crimson Star (Lower Gold): Overload her own fireworks causing a very cool explosion...]
Clearly, this was the Crimson Star’s "Self-Destruction ability."
Practical tests had excellent results; Little Flame as an Energy Creature could not be blown up... however, it would bring about a reorganization cycle for the original body and weaken her for a while.
"...Fire, keep away from me when you use this ability next time..."
Although the tilted head of Little Flame was adorable, and those deer-like eyes contained untouched beauty by knowledge, the thought of the explosion’s range and power...
".....Never mind, don’t use this self-destruct ability when you are alone; I will give you the order when it’s necessary to use it."
In her pure eyes was full innocence, but Lu Ping’an did not doubt that without clear instructions, she would eventually blow herself up into the sky.
Her clones could also use this self-destruction ability, which originally came from those stars... slightly weaker than the original body, and impossible to recreate in a short time.
However, the flames from the clones would return to the original body, significantly enhancing Little Flame’s original self.
"Thank you for that kind person’s gift..."
Originally, Little Flame, due to outmoded attack capabilities and unadulterated intelligence, served more like an internal combustion engine.
At that time, she truly became a large-scale battlefield weapon, absolutely capable of returning to the frontline of battle.
"Ooh... Lu, I want to eat..."
On the other hand, despite having a body nearly two meters in height and over 1.9 meters in length, she gave Lu Ping’an the impression of a childlike young girl.
She pulled at Lu Ping’an wanting to eat fire... and with her endless traits, she was never full.
Eating and eating, the centaur maiden surrounding Lu Ping’an multiplied from one to four...
"No more, no more."
Reluctantly, he disbanded the persistent deer who was begging for "cakes," letting her "older sister" take her to play.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an also felt the strength of the Life system... Just like the Soldier system, it was the ability to grow continuously with the act of killing, a potent ability for the later stages.
What Lu Ping’an could possess was not merely that; he could permanently share the traits of a magic pet, now adding a Gold-tier racial trait appropriate with the corresponding Flaming system talent, he naturally would become fundamentally stronger.
"....also need to add the advancement of the magic pet to the work list."
A few of his magic pets were actually around the sixth-tier... To break through to the Rule-level, just depending on themselves was too difficult; clearly, a bit of external help was needed, whereas Lu Ping’an’s "Life Encyclopedia" combined with the "Life Cauldron" from the Heavenly Set could transform most resources into substantial magic pet enhancements.
"Do I need to hunt a few more Rule-level creatures..."
At this moment, Lu Ping’an looked towards the other side of the battlefield.
He was somewhat envious of the two kings under that Overlord... Battling an Overlord (eighth-tier) was too troublesome, really a prolonged matter, but with his current ability, it was feasible to encircle and kill a seventh-tier.
"...Do not casually disrupt the balance of the battlefield, the Fishmen are reinforcing their troops."
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
At that moment, it was the old stagers who stopped Lu Ping’an.
With an original formation of one leading three maintaining balance, one unloved creature died and they could still tacitly not exacerbate the battlefield situation... If another died, the hat of incompetence and stupidity would directly land on that Overlord’s head. Without demonstrating some form of victory, he couldn’t justify himself.
And once he went mad and played for real with Lu Ping’an... unless Lu abandoned the front lines and fled, it was a death fight where no one could predict the outcome.
If they really ended up killing the other party... the intelligence brought by Xue En was that there was reinforcement from the world behind, obviously with a Quasi-God level Big Shot in attendance.
They would likely prioritize supplying the unstable areas of the frontline; if the frontline broke at this time, it would only draw in more high-level combat power from the opposition, possibly even seeing a Quasi-God personally entering the fray.
At that moment, Little Flame suddenly bumped into the still pondering Lu Ping’an.
"Eat, eat, eat..."
Do not be mistaken, she wasn’t asking to eat, but rather, in front of her floated green Abyssal Inferno flames.
Not knowing where she had obtained this rare toxic flame, it was what she fed to her master.
"....Yummy, eat quickly."
And seeing those pure eyes and continuously dripping saliva, it was obviously a little girl sharing something she cherished.
Lu Ping’an opened his mouth... sighed helplessly, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Thus, today’s battlefield lost one spectator.
