63: destroy

Streams of scorching, dark-red energy flowed from Shi Yan's heart, all converging into the palm of his right hand.

A small, dark-red fireball appeared in the raised palm of Shi Yan's right hand. The fireball grew larger and larger, expanding from the size of a finger to the size of a fist, and finally becoming a massive, dark-red fireball with a diameter of one meter.

Waves of scorching energy emanated from the surface of the fireball, and the glass doors of the supermarket in front of it had already begun to melt.

The space around the Lava Fireball subtly began to warp, emitting dazzling dark-red firelight, like a miniature dark-red sun that was impossible to look at directly.

"Go."

Shi Yan gently pushed the Lava Fireball forward, and the fireball shot towards the supermarket at a speed that appeared slow but was actually fast.

The three people inside the supermarket were still staring in dumbfounded disbelief, seemingly not expecting anyone to dare cause trouble here.

The Lava Fireball almost instantly flew into the supermarket through the large melted hole in the glass door. Upon touching a shelf, the Lava Fireball immediately exploded, and the scorching lava within the Lava Fireball instantly spread outwards, the dazzling red light expanding a hundredfold in an instant.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the entire supermarket vanished from its original location.

A pitch-black deep pit replaced the supermarket.

Inside the deep pit, dark-red lava was still slowly rolling.

"The destructive power is very strong."

Shi Yan looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

The loud noise attracted the attention of passersby, who all looked in Shi Yan's direction.

Shi Yan did not pay attention to these passersby; after all, he couldn't kill them.

"Indeed."

Shi Yan grinned.

As he had expected, the cashier and the people shopping inside the supermarket were not considered "innocent," so his killing them did not violate the mission requirement of "do not indiscriminately kill the innocent."

Shi Yan looked at the system's prompt panel.

"[First Supermarket, Destruction Progress: 100% / 100%]"

After confirming that the destruction met the criteria, Shi Yan walked into the lava pit.

He stepped into a pool of dark-red magma. This magma was like slightly viscous water, and the dark-red magma inside the deep pit could not cause any harm to Shi Yan.

His Eternal Night Cloak was clearly not afraid of such high temperatures, but his shoes had already melted the moment the Lava Fireball took shape.

Shi Yan touched three different colored rhomboid crystals one by one, and as three warm currents entered Shi Yan's body, he gained three new abilities.

Abilities: Head Deformation, Blood紋 Control +1, Full Body Panel Enhancement, Shadow Transformation, Moon Power, Dan Pill Production, Shadow Gas, Physical Enhancement, Blood Curse, Laser Eye, Hair Extension and Contraction, Flexibility, Underwater Breathing, Bomb Generation, Vine Power +1, Mental Impact, Quick Dash, Lava Body, Cold Wind, Super Regeneration, Smell Enhancement, Portable Space, Dizziness Technique.

Three new skills appeared on the ability panel: Smell Enhancement, Portable Space, and Dizziness Technique.

As Shi Yan's gaze passed over them, information flowed into his mind.

Smell Enhancement: Concentrating on the nose can increase smell tenfold.

Portable Space: Possesses a small space of two cubic meters.

Dizziness Technique: Can dizzy enemies, with the dizzying effect determined by the soul gap.

Among these three skills, the most useful for Shi Yan was actually the second one, Portable Space.

As Shi Yan's consciousness sensed it, he felt a space existing around his body.

The space was exactly two cubic meters in size.

Shi Yan took off the spatial ring on his hand and put it into the Portable Space. Keeping the spatial ring on his person was a bit unsafe; what if it got damaged sometime?

Shi Yan tried to summon items from within the spatial ring through the Portable Space and nodded with satisfaction when he found that it was completely unaffected.

Shi Yan was currently standing in the very center of the lava pit, looking very conspicuous.

The surrounding residents of the Magic World were pointing and gesticulating at Shi Yan, and some even had transparent panels appear in front of them, seemingly filming something of Shi Yan.

A series of special, yet very clear, ringing sounds echoed all around.

A white-haired old man riding a fiery skeletal warhorse appeared from the edge of the horizon.

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes and looked over.

"--- (Flame Guard) lv51"

"Constitution: ---"

"Soul: ---"

The moment he clearly saw the information, Shi Yan had already crushed a white card in his hand.

A small purplish-red fireball suddenly shot out from the space above Shi Yan's head, heading towards Shi Yan's position.

A white light instantly enveloped Shi Yan, teleporting him elsewhere.

The purplish-red fireball looked unassuming, but its power was terrifyingly immense. The ground it touched melted, creating a small hole of unknown depth.

Shi Yan had now appeared at the entrance of another small supermarket.

"Phew, is this the power of the Street Management Department?"

Shi Yan lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had almost been hit just now; luckily, he ran fast.

This management department was truly strong; anyone they sent out could instantly kill him.

That white-haired old man was level 51. Due to the vast difference in strength, his detection skill couldn't even detect his specific attributes, or even his race; he could only see his level.

The 'Flame Guard' tag indicated the organization the white-haired old man belonged to.

Shi Yan, who had been slightly lowering his head, raised it. Unbeknownst to him, a ferocious smile, which he himself hadn't noticed, had appeared on his face.

He wasn't feeling much fear at this moment; instead, he felt incredibly excited. He liked the thrilling sensation of being in precarious situations.

However, even though he liked this feeling, he wouldn't court death just to experience it.

The supermarket in front of Shi Yan was very similar to the previous one, both being the same style and even roughly the same size.

Unfortunately, at this moment, there was only one cashier inside the supermarket, with no other customers.

If it had been before, Shi Yan might have been willing to wait a bit longer, to start destroying the supermarket after someone entered it.

But after encountering that terrifying white-haired old man just now, he was truly unwilling to delay any longer. After all, skills are good, but one needs to be alive to use them, and as long as Shi Yan was alive, he could continuously gain skills, so there was no need to rush.

He had narrowly escaped once; could he always narrowly escape? Shi Yan didn't like gambling with low win rates and returns.

After realizing this, Shi Yan once again walked to the front of the supermarket, just like last time. At this point, the ability within his heart had also fully recovered.

He raised his hand and released a Lava Fireball.
