Chapter 516: The Power of Rejection

Chen Ke held Lucina's hand and felt the warmth in her palm slowly disappearing. Lucina also felt something. She frowned and wanted to pull her hand back.

"What's wrong? How do you feel?" Chen Ke asked.

He had never passed on the inheritance to anyone else, so he didn't know what would happen next.

"It's a little hot... like holding a hot roasted chestnut in your hand." Lucina replied.

"Have you ever eaten roasted chestnuts?" Chen Ke laughed.

"They're sold in Chinatown in Norton City." Lucina said, looking at her hand worriedly, as if the burning pain was becoming unbearable.

"What do you feel now?" Chen Ke saw Lucina's worry and asked with concern.

"It's getting hotter, Chen Ke, what is this?" Lucina said.

"This is... some kind of magic from another era that can turn you into a fire witch." Chen Ke said.

"It sounds... good? Then I can spit fire?" Lucina asked.

"Where do you want to spray?" Chen Ke smiled.

Lucina blushed, punched Chen Ke in the chest, and said, "Be careful or I'll burn you."

A ball of ashes floated up from Chen Ke's arm and wrapped around Lucina's forearm. It was Angele's ashes.

"Angele's ashes have gone."

A line of small words appeared in the corner of Chen Ke's eyes. Her ashes were the power of the witch. Now, Chen Ke passed this power to Lucina, and he also lost the ashes.

"It's hot... I feel like I'm going to burn..." Lucina panted, and red tattoo-like lines appeared on her right arm. The lines flickered and burst into little firewood.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, Chen Ke, how long will it take?" Lucina asked anxiously, she saw that her arm seemed to be on fire.

"Don't worry, I feel it's almost there." Chen Ke shook his head and held Lucina's hand tightly. He felt her palm become soft, like tofu that would break if squeezed.

Lucina's right arm really caught fire. Chen Ke didn't know if this was normal, but Lucina couldn't help it and pulled her hand back.

"Fire! Fuck! It's on fire!" Lucina said nervously. As soon as she pulled her hand back from Chen Ke's hand, her palm turned into a ball of flame and swayed in the air. Her right arm also turned into a kind of gelatinous substance between muscle and energy.

This is different from the fire witch Chen Ke has seen.

Whether it is Falalis or Angele, when their whole bodies were on fire, they didn't turn into slime.

"Oh my God, Chen Ke... put it out! Quick!" Lucina swung her right arm, trying to put out the fire, but the more she tossed it, the more the gelatinous arm deformed, like a melted caramel.

"Wait a minute, don't panic, give me your hand." Chen Ke was also panicked. He didn't want to kill Lucina like this, so he immediately reached out and grabbed Lucina's right arm.

When his five fingers touched Lucina's arm, Chen Ke felt like he was holding a red-hot iron bar, but it was so soft to pinch. This gelatinous flesh was spreading to Lucina's chest and head. She held the railing with her left hand and wanted to jump into the sea.

The power of the flame began to transfer to Chen Ke again.

The burned palm continued to recover under the effect of life, and suddenly, it became fire-proof again. The gelatinous transformation on Lucina's body also began to reverse.

"Obtained the relic: Angele's Ashes."

"Obtained the inheritance of the flame witch."

Two lines of small words appeared in Chen Ke's vision, and Lucina's body became normal again.

The ashes emerged from her right arm, wrapped around Chen Ke's right arm, and slowly turned into nothingness. Chen Ke let go of his hand and looked at his palm, which was red.

"Huhu..." Lucina covered her right arm and looked at Chen Ke with some fear.

"I didn't know it would become like this." Chen Ke explained.

"Have you used this thing before?" Lucina asked.

"Of course not, this is not unlimited use. I give it to you, and I don't have it anymore." Chen Ke said.

"Then why don't you turn into that thing yourself?" Lucina said.

"This thing can only be used by women." Chen Ke said.

"Oh my God, this thing, I feel that it can't turn women into witches, it can only burn people to death." Lucina shook her head.

"It can reconstruct people's bodies, maybe the process just now is normal?" Chen Ke said.

"Maybe it will burn people to death first, and then become the one who was burned to death... Anyway, you don't know." Lucina was still a little wary.

Chen Ke didn't say anything. Lucina's statement might be right.

"I give up, Chen Ke, keep that thing away from me." Lucina sighed.

Chen Ke shrugged and watched Lucina walk towards the car. He didn't deny that this thing was dangerous. After all, reality is not playing games, and no one knows the price to pay for gaining power.

"If I can find a new way to help you fight those things, I will tell you." Chen Ke said.

"Maybe, now I just want to take a shower and have a good sleep, and it's time to change the dressing on Hall's wound." Lucina opened the car door and got in.

Chen Ke sighed, and a flame ignited in his palm. He squeezed it, and ashes popped out from between his fingers.

The car started again and drove along the road. On the right side of the road was an open forest, and dense dark green trees were waving in the wind a few hundred meters away from the road.

"Look... the car in front." Chen Ke saw a car parked on the side of the road in front of him. It was red and looked familiar.

"Huh? What happened?" Lucina took off her headphones and leaned out of the car window. She recognized her car after just one look.

"That's my car!" Lucina said.

"Didn't I lend it to Diana..." Chen Ke frowned, feeling that things were not going well.

The car suddenly stopped, and Hall was also awakened by the sudden brake. He scratched his head and watched Chen Ke and Lucina get out of the car in a hurry and run to the side of the road.

The door of this red muscle car was separated from the body, and there were signs of burning. The bottom of the car was very black, and the red paint was burned to a color close to bright yellow. The leather seat and steering wheel in the driver's seat were also damaged.

There were no signs of impact on the car, and there were no wheel marks left by sudden braking on the road. The car exploded after stopping.

"It's not an ordinary flame, it's some special bomb that doesn't take people's lives." Chen Ke guessed.

"The consortium's people put a bomb on my car?" Lucina frowned.

"Not necessarily... If it was the consortium, you would have been in trouble a long time ago, and it would not be your turn to lend the car to Diana." Chen Ke said.

He was a little anxious. Diana must have been captured alive. As far as he could see, there were very limited clues. The car exploded after it stopped, which meant that Diana noticed that there was a bomb in the car.

Since the bomb was installed in Lucina's car, it also proved that the other party wanted to catch Lucina at the beginning.

"I think I know who it is." Chen Ke said.

"Who?" Lucina asked.

"Asra, they are targeting you, but Diana is sitting in the car." Chen Ke looked at Lucina.

"Will they kill her?" Lucina asked.

Chen Ke did not answer. He looked at the road railing on the side, which was covered with blood.

Chen Ke turned over the railing and saw traces of sliding on the slope. Following the traces down to the woods, he saw various long cutting marks in the mud.

The soft soil left many footprints, and there was also a blue holy diamond lying in a puddle. Chen Ke squatted down and picked up the holy diamond. With a thought, a long sword appeared in his hand.

[Butcher of Balvikan]

[Durability: Poor]

[Executioner: Easier to behead humanoid creatures. ]

[Dismemberment Maniac: Easier to cut off the limbs of humanoid creatures. ]

This is a holy relic that requires high swordsmanship... Although the special effects are very sharp, it is difficult for people who are not proficient in European swords to play its role.

Some things have changed, Chen Ke guessed.

In the rewritten present, Asra failed to catch Lucina, but Lucina's ending fell on Diana's head.
