Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1452 897: The Way of Mad Fire (Part 2)

At the moment of eye contact, Todd clasped the Finger Holy Mark with his other hand.The fluctuation of magic power coursed through his entire body, and his eyes suddenly erupted with Mad Fire!

Such a close-range spray of Mad Fire might just reduce the new follower to a burning skeleton.

But something unexpected happened.

Todd weakened the output power of the Mad Fire by reducing the input of magic power, causing the flames to be drawn by a not-so-strong force into the followers' eyes at the moment of shooting towards them.

The flames inside their eyes immediately expanded into burning fireballs, less powerful than Todd's but strong enough.

"Ah! Ah~"

The follower let out cries of both pain and pleasure, covering their eyes, stumbling off the stage with a mixture of blood and tears streaming from their eyes.

The others, seeing this scene, were not afraid but became more excited, and Todd sprayed flames at the other approaching followers.

This was the method he devised to allow others to use Mad Fire as well.

As someone educated and with knowledge, Todd was very aware that Mad Fire was actually a special flame originating from Sain Dungeon, and it was not a good thing, possessing infectious and spiritual pollution traits that could devastate a person's mind.

To put it metaphorically, Mad Fire was like a contagious disease, not welcomed by any sane person.

Nimgefo's people surely did not like Mad Fire, otherwise, why would those infected be called Mad Fire Patients and their village branded as Sick Village?

Mad Fire was not a good thing; the cost of wielding this power was unknown, but...

It was indeed the perfect force for the weak to resist.

For most followers of the Mad Fire God Sect, who were the old, weak, sick, and disabled with little combat power reliant on the Church for survival, their numbers couldn't withstand a charge from the Holy Light Knights; they could do nothing in the face of true power.

Only Mad Fire, only that power could give them the capital to resist!

The Three Great Religions occupying the Capital were becoming increasingly mad. Despite the decreasing battles with the rebel army, an eerie atmosphere persisted in the Capital that was impossible to ignore, with the number of disappearances rising, nobody knowing where these people went.

The slum dwellers might have been weak, but they were masters at clinging to life and had long noticed the environmental changes, fully aware that the pervasive eerie atmosphere across the Capital would inevitably reach here.

Before being turned into consumables by the Three Great Religions, they needed to unite.

Todd believed the Mad Fire God Sect would become the center of unity for the slum.

Based on Mad Fire's infectious nature, Todd sprayed Mad Fire at Dorian, who volunteered for the experiment, successfully causing the other's entire body to ignite while their eyes were invaded by Mad Fire, turning the pupils into wavering yellow flames.

When he injected more Mad Fire into Dorian, he discovered that the fire could be stored in the other's eyes, splashing out with tears when needed, much like when Todd used Prayer Mad Fire!

The Mad Fire residing in their bodies would not extinguish; it could even be enhanced by others using their own magic power, with the only drawback being the need to replenish from Todd after one or two uses.

"The flames in your eyes have grown strong."

Todd looked into the eyes of a follower who had received Mad Fire thrice; the flames no longer wavered as if they would go out at any moment, clearly growing stronger and absorbing Mad Fire more efficiently.

This phenomenon gave Todd an idea:

After long exposure to Mad Fire, would these people become like the Mad Fire Patients in Sain Dungeon, able to spray fire autonomously without learning? This fit his understanding of Mad Fire.

A truly dangerous thing...

Once all the followers left, he couldn't help but sigh.

The followers under him who knew the danger of Mad Fire yet chose to accept it... in a sense, seemed even more dangerous.

But it didn't matter. As the chosen one of the Mad Fire God, he could still restrain them. He was the shackles on these people!

"Alright, time to get a grip."

Todd slapped his face, shaking off the weakness from overusing Mad Fire, and returned to the study to look over the information from the Free People Church left on De Yang, with his notebook spread open on the desk.

It contained his battle plans.

For the Mad Fire God Sect to grow, it inevitably had to confront the Three Great Religions, and before that, it must strengthen itself.

Start by taking over the entire slum, officially moving against the various jumbled churches from tomorrow.

Todd's pen scratched out words on the page.

Day One, Rotter Association.

"Hey, who are you, why are you trespassing on our territory? Don't you know we're the famous Rotter Association? Wait, what's up with your eyes? They're so hot, oww!"

"President, President, help, there are some crazy people with eyes on fire out there!"

"President?"

"Why, why are you kneeling to those lunatics...?"
