90: Hell's Black Flame, Horrible Price

Can 200-level equipment be used?

Lin Ye immediately perked up.

"Your Majesty, could you elaborate?"

"Yes~"

The Moon Queen glanced back, a slight curve on her lips, and said delicately, "But we can't discuss it out here, can we?"

Lin Ye thought she had a point and immediately returned to the sleeping quarters.

"Alright, is it okay now?"

The Moon Queen gently pushed Lin Ye away, her beautiful eyes darting, and said alluringly, "Don't rush, wait until I gather all my daughters before we talk."

Huh?

Lin Ye's pupils constricted.

Are you sure you want to play it this way?

Good, good, good!

As expected of a Queen, she thinks of her daughters in everything she does.

Greatness, no need for more words!

At the same time, the door opened.

Four princesses appeared before Lin Ye one after another.

Isolde was the fastest, entering from the doorway and rushing into Lin Ye's arms in just three steps.

"Knight Brother!"

"Good girl~"

Lin Ye ruffled her head.

Isolde immediately showed dissatisfaction, quickly lifted her face, and pouted her small mouth...

Ha~

Lin Ye gently kissed her cheek, and only then did Isolde smile, happily linking her arm through Lin Ye's and introducing:

"Third Sister, Lariana, her talent is Spring of Life, currently around Level 150."

"Fifth Sister, Dolakali, her talent is Star Guardian, Level 130."

"And finally, Sixth Sister, Vera Diya, her talent is Dream Weaving, Level 100."

Lariana had a waterfall of ice-blue long hair, paired with a slightly lighter aquamarine long dress, her gaze gentle, and her demeanor elegant.

Beside her.

Dolakali, with short brown hair, wore knight's armor and had the most composed demeanor among the princesses.

Lastly, Vera Diya, in a full black magic robe, her face covered by a black veil, only revealing her incomparably deep eyes, and after a few seconds of direct eye contact, it felt as if she could see through one's heart.

While Lin Ye was observing the three princesses, they were also observing Lin Ye.

Logically speaking.

There were no secrets between the Queen and the princesses, and it wasn't their 'first time' seeing Lin Ye, but there was still an undeniable curiosity in their eyes.

"Ahem, shall we get to the point?"

Lin Ye felt a bit awkward after being stared at for so long.

"Hellfire Sword, how do we resolve the Level 200 requirement?"

The Moon Queen shook her head slightly.

"The requirement is easy to resolve, the problem is how will you endure the burning of the Hell Black Flame?"

[Hellfire Sword: Destroyer]

Quality: Mythical

Durability: 5000

Requirement: Level 200

Hellfire Damage increased by 300%

Physical Attack +300%

Life +300%

Gains Hellfire Damage equal to 700% of your Physical Damage, cannot deal non-Hellfire damage

Hellfire Mastery (Complete control over Hellfire, equivalent to Skill Proficiency Level 30)

Hellfire Destruction (Can activate Hellfire into a destruction state, Damage, Range, Penetration Effect, Burning Effect, all increased by 100%, during which Hellfire burns the wielder, consuming 5% of maximum HP per second, Cooldown 360 minutes.)

......

Lin Ye took out his weapon, re-examined its attributes, and after confirming there were no issues, he spoke.

"It doesn't say anything about being burned?"

The Moon Queen couldn't help but look sideways, a hint of surprise in her tone, "If it could be mastered without being burned, wouldn't all the Demon Lords in Hell be able to learn it?"

Mm-hmm~

Isolde nodded, "Mother is right, Hell Black Flame is a very dangerous thing, dangerous to others, and dangerous to oneself. Even in Hell, not every Demon Lord can withstand the backlash of the Hell Black Flame; it's damage to the soul, a continuous burning."

"Once Hellfire is mastered, it cannot be extinguished; it must be maintained at all times, and the only fuel it accepts is souls."

"Therefore..."

"The Dark Demon Lord also won't allow this flame to burn wantonly in Hell; it must be controlled, and the existence that masters this flame must come to the human world, using continuous slaughter to obtain souls and feed the Black Flame."

Lin Ye roughly understood.

"Since other souls also work, then why..."

Before he finished speaking.

Isolde shook her head, "No, no matter how many souls feed the Hell Black Flame, it can only reduce its craving for the host's soul; it doesn't mean there's no damage."

"The appearance of Hell Black Flame on weapons and equipment is very rare, and it only appears on equipment of Mythical tier or higher."

"But there are hidden requirements here."

"First, the user must, upon first equipping the weapon, master the Hell Black Flame beyond max level."

"Second, once the Black Hell Black Flame is mastered, it must be bound to the weapon and continuously fed; it must never be allowed to extinguish, otherwise, when picked up again, the Black Flame will not activate."

Tsk?

Lin Ye couldn't help but frown, "Simply put, as long as I hold this weapon, the Hell Black Flame will, with its transcendent Level 30 intensity, directly burn my soul, and if I want to use the Hell Black Flame in the future, I must endure the continuous burning of the Hell Black Flame on my soul?"

Isolde turned to look at Lin Ye, her eyes filled with nothing but distress.

"Knight Brother, how about we don't learn this ability?"

"Even if we need to deal with enemies, we can think of other ways, right, Mother?"

The Moon Queen's expression was solemn.

"Within the Magic Association, someone should have mastered Soul Absorption, but it's uncertain who it is or where they are."

"Time-Space Exile, that is the Eternal Emperor's authority; from ancient times to now, very few people have been able to learn it, and even if you have the Time Wheel Star Key, the possibility of learning it is not high."

"As for Absolute Seal, that requires the aid of an Arcane Array, which should be available in the neighboring Imperial Capital, but that doesn't solve our problem."

After all was said and done.

Hell Black Flame was definitely the most effective method.

However, the price was extremely heavy.

The Moon Queen also felt a bit reluctant, her gaze turning to Lin Ye, "If it's not possible, it's fine; we can also switch to a defensive stance. The Star Moon Palace temporarily doesn't have the ability to attack..."

Not possible?

Are you kidding me!

Lin Ye directly said, "You just worry about getting the requirements settled for me! Don't worry about the rest!"

A hint of helplessness appeared in the Moon Queen's eyes; she reached out and took the Hellfire Sword, her beautiful eyes narrowing, and she said softly,

"If I didn't need to worry, why would I call all my daughters here?"

"Let's get started."

Isolde looked at her mother, then at Lin Ye.

After confirming.

Only then did she reluctantly release Lin Ye's arm, take out her tarot cards, seemingly intending to try some metaphysics.

Slap!

Lin Ye pressed her hand, confidently saying, "No need to look, it will definitely work!"

Hmm?

Isolde's eyes widened in surprise; after a moment's pause, she actually put away her tarot cards, countless profound knowledge runes flashing in her eyes.

Following that.

She took out magic crystals and various materials, setting up a magic array around Lin Ye.

In the blink of an eye.

An esoteric magic array that Lin Ye had never seen before was completed around him...
