(Normal POV)

  I was entirely unaware of what was going on at the test due to the bde I gave Hroldar and even after it was over he never showed up so I totally fot about it. Instead I worked oing my new fmes to get a feel for what they were capable of, the ao which was plicated. See the first thing I tested was the temperature of the fmes by using iron since I knew how hot it had to be to melt the stuff and how much hotter it had to be to melt it faster than that minimum point.-

  Turning the fire to as hot as i could burhrough my energy(pun very intended) at extremely high speeds but could turn a three inch iron nail to sg in about half a sed. This meant my hottest was about 1700 or so degrees Celsius. Hot enough that even being near it should make things very unfortable if not dht hostile. That was where things got plicated as her Bell or myself could feel anything more that a normal warmth from like a campfire or something simir.-

  In addition to that my fire COULDN'T burn me, like at all. Yes I know you are likely asking how i khat and the answer was because I tested it. Don't fug judge me this was something important to know. Anyways I could fre my fire up as hot as I wanted and then stick my hand in it and nothing would happen, I may as well have been putting my hand through air. Ahing I discovered was that my fire o be kept away from water at all fug costs. Not because it acted like a grease fire but because it ate the water and greidly.-

  Electrolysis is the process of separating oxygen and hydrogen that existed in water, both of which were fmmable as all hell. My fmes being the weird shit they are could apparently skip the whole separation step and burn both of those in their bonded form. In other words water might as well be fug gasoline as far as my fme was ed. The good news was that the water capital floors of the dungeon were going to be a fun experiene since I o be extra careful not to burn the whole pce down.-

  A nifty use for the fmes I discovered was that I could dehem before unleashing a violent bst in a single dire with them that I affeately refer to as my "fuck everything in that dire" attack. Why? Because that bst traveled for quite some distand THEN the fmes started to spread and e everything. The attack ractically made for killing huge groups at ond it did not discriminate hence , fuck everything in that dire. Bell was so jealous by the way because it looked awesome and it was effective.-

  Admittedly I might have gotten carried away as I stood in the bzes ughing like a hyena. Anyyromaniadencies aside I could safely say that my new fmes were fantastic as a personal form of magic. Acc to Miad Hestia thankfully the name hell fire was just a name and not actual hell fire sihat was teically a divine substand shouldn't be possible to ma in the mortal realm to begin with. As an added note Miach said my fmes were shit as far as alchemy was ed which i suppose is fair sidering it ate the fsk he tried to experiment with, my fmes weren't picky.

  Other than that I had gotten to work recreating my on with the drops that Tiona had dropped off. I fused the goliath tooth with an infant dragon fang and a green dragon horn to create a super hard and durable material for the ohat I refined as far as I could before it started taking my entire energy pool for a miniscule improvement. The axe head side was also ridiculously sharp as well whi addition to it's very high weight made it very effective.-

  The handle was made of three minotaur horns fused and refined into a single foot long and ind a half wide drical hah a skull shaped pommel just because I could. The final on weighed easily two or three times as much as my previous one due to it's stupid density and even with B rank strength I had trouble using it. The effectiveness of each attack however was not something to s. That was a lot of weight moving fairly fast after all so that was to be expected I suppose.-

  Spent a couple of days practig with my on before I finally felt fident to head bato the dungeon. Bell oher hand was making astoundingly fast progress as with his most ret update he was at H rank in all his physical stats but hadn't gotten anywhere with magic which was to be expected since he cked any way to use that stat. His foundation was solid though as he had taken what I had taught him as well as what he figured out from our spars to get a handle on how he wao fight.-

  He was actually going in the exact opposite dire from myself as I wao hit the hardest without sacrifig maneuverability while he traded impact for speed and quantity of attacks. her path was wrong but both ended in different ways given enough time. Mine ended with each strike of mine being a potential death sentence while his ended with a death by thousand cuts type sario or as a distra so a heavy hitter like me safely move in for the big ticket damage. If it wasn't for my magiot being team friendly we would probably make a very effective two man unit in the dungeon.-

  I had made a bunch of figurines already which Hestia had moved to selling instead of Jagamarukuns sihey brought in way more profit. They were apparently very popur with the gods and women iy to the point that she was sold out mere minutes after she opened in the m. This meant she got most of the day to do whatever she wanted after that which teo be her zing about at the church or cheering on Bell as he traihanks to this influx of money we were ing good food nightly.-

  Unfortunately all good things e to an eually and Hephaestus finally got a ce to catch Hestia and ask about me. It was odd really as the red head was dht flirtacious wheroduced herself. Hestia had apparently told the goddess how my cursed teique worked sihey were friends and now the red head was trying to poach me to her familia openly. I myself wanted nothing to do with the woman as the looks she was giving me made me feel like she was moments away from eating me.
