Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1541 - 645: Explosion!

The fire raged like a dragon, flames soaring, spreading wildly, blocking out the sun!

"Woo—"

Lightning, who had already retreated to a distance, was toppled by the shockwave, ignoring the burns on its body, it got up and stared intently at the stunning mushroom cloud.

Countless dead Transparent Fish fell with the flames, turning into a splendid meteor shower...

In the center of the sea of fire, Wang Tao knelt on one knee.

Looking at the scorched earth beneath his feet and feeling the pressure lift off his body, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He possessed four abilities, but in most cases, he only used three. The last one, [Blaze], he seldom used. freёnovelkiss.com

It wasn’t that [Blaze] was too weak or too strong, but rather it consumed too much.

[Blaze: Compress all Awakening Energy, then explode instantaneously (the magnitude of power is related to the amount of Awakening Energy)]

Wang Tao’s current maximum Awakening Energy was 10,000, meaning, without any other consumption, if he used Blaze, he would instantly exhaust all 10,000 units of Awakening Energy!

Without Awakening Energy, Wang Tao would be unable to use many of his abilities, and his combat strength would plummet. If anything unexpected happened after using Blaze, without any Awakening Power, Wang Tao would be in big trouble.

Of course, Wang Tao could use "Awakening Energy Pearls" and "Awakening Crystal Cores" to replenish his Awakening Energy, but setting aside their rarity, in some critical moments, Wang Tao might not have time to replenish.

Thus, in most cases, Wang Tao wouldn’t use the ability [Blaze].

But the situation just now... he had reached a point where he had no choice.

[Blaze] might not be Wang Tao’s strongest ability, but it definitely had the largest range of destruction, unmatched currently!

And those Transparent Fish, their individual strength wasn’t strong. Their strength lay in their overwhelming numbers, seemingly endless!

Being surrounded by these Transparent Fish, even a slight slowdown in running could likely result in being slowly drained to death!

Wang Tao also encountered this kind of monster for the first time, not thinking to run initially until it was too late to escape.

In this situation, Wang Tao could only choose this widely destructive attack, [Blaze].

The result had satisfied Wang Tao greatly; these Transparent Fish were only Sixth-Rank Elite level at best and couldn’t withstand Wang Tao’s Blaze at all. Whether it was the Transparent Fish clinging to him or those continuously flying towards him from the water, all were cleanly killed!

Even the water level in the rift dropped slightly, obviously evaporated by the high temperature.

Seizing the moment, Wang Tao quickly picked up some spoils of war and, not daring to stay any longer, he rushed out of the sea of fire.

"Wang~"

Seeing a fiery figure rushing out, Lightning nearby suddenly barked joyfully.

Wang Tao, hearing the noise, quickly ran towards it.

"Sorry, almost burned you bald!"

Seeing the scorched fur on Lightning’s head, Wang Tao laughed and jumped onto Lightning’s back, and Lightning ran off.

After running for a while and moving away from the rift, making sure it was completely safe, Wang Tao then allowed Lightning to stop.

Looking at the distant sky stained red by the sea of fire, Wang Tao was astonished.

"Lucky to have such a large-scale destructive ability... These Transparent Fish are indeed dangerous! If anyone else suddenly encountered so many Transparent Fish, they’d almost certainly be doomed! I need to report this to the City Hall; we can’t come near the rift anymore..."

Thinking this, a Treasure Chest appeared before Wang Tao.

This was a treasure chest obtained from within the rift earlier; it could store items and could be kept in a Space Backpack. Wang Tao’s Space Backpack couldn’t store unnamed objects, but through this treasure chest, almost anything could be stored.

Opening the treasure chest, he could faintly see a few Transparent Fish inside but all dead.

During the use of Blaze a moment ago, Wang Tao, quick to act, killed a few Transparent Fish and stuffed them into the chest. The chest couldn’t store living things, so they needed to be killed before being placed in, but he managed to preserve the whole bodies. Handing these Transparent Fish to the Hope Research Institute should be sufficient for their research.

...

The flames burned for more than an hour before extinguishing. If there were any vegetation here, it might have started a wildfire.

Wang Tao didn’t leave; as the flames slowly died down, he also slowly regained some Awakening Energy and rode Lightning back to the spot of the recent battle.

Of course, he only stood at the perimeter, not daring to venture too deep.

If there were Transparent Fish in the water and they ambushed him again, with his current amount of Awakening Energy, he certainly wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

"Let’s pick up the spoils of war first..."

Wang Tao patted Lightning’s head, and then the pair started collecting the spoils of the Transparent Fish.

During the Blaze earlier, these Transparent Fish were blown apart, dead bodies everywhere. Now they were all burned away, but the Crystal Cores and the like were left behind.

Having expended such great effort to kill these Transparent Fish, Wang Tao definitely couldn’t give up on the spoils of war.

Thus, the man and the dog quickly began clearing the battlefield. They also slowly tested, taking a few steps toward the rift each time, continually confirming if it was dangerous. At the slightest sign of movement, Wang Tao would halt his advance, to ascertain whether it was Transparent Fish... these Transparent Fish had indeed caused quite a psychological shadow for Wang Tao.

However, whether it was because Wang Tao had completely eradicated these Transparent Fish or because they had all hidden away, by the time Wang Tao cautiously approached the shore again, the water surface was very calm with no HP bar appearing.
