Fire of Destruction

The fifth Ancient Power that Cale Henituse obtained, it was earned from throwing a large amount of money into the lava surrounding a spinning golden pig sculpture in the Ten Fingers Mountains. After obtaining the power, he gained a thunderbolt tattoo over the shield tattoo on his heart. Though, it later disappeared just prior to the fight with the Mogoru Empire’s golems.

In the novel *The Birth of a Hero*, Fire of Destruction was obtained by an elf with a fire elemental, however, since they didn’t earn it the proper way they were unable to use its full power and considered it useless.

## Abilities

The Fire of Destruction summons a fiery rose-gold thunderbolt that is incredibly strong, though it also causes a heavy backlash for using it.

Later Cale strengthened the power by feeding over ten billion gold pounds to the fire, returning it to its original strength. Doing so also allowed the Sound of the Wind to reach its full potential, as they were a pair when fighting.

In the battle at the South Alchemists' Tower against Dorph, Sayeru, and the golems of the black mages, Cale fed the Fire of Destruction with the stolen magic stones from the Alchemists' Towers to create a sea of fire. As a result, all the golems were successfully destroyed. He also fed the leftover magic stones to the Fire to summon fiery thunderbolts in the battle against Dorph.

The true power of the Fire is the ability to completely destroy or purify everything, it’s one of the few things in existence that can purify Dead Mana and Black Despair.

## Original Owner

*"…Oh…what glorious sight. I never expected to see something like this in my life, sob, no, I mean after death! Sob, oh, beautiful!"* - Chapter 273

The original owner was a companion of the original owners of Cale’s other ancient powers. He died before his partner, the original owner of Sound of the Wind.

He had lived in poverty during his childhood and as a result, had a great desire for money.

*"I liked being practical. While others chased after gods, eternal life, or even power or fame, all of which are things that cannot be seen with your eyes, I chased after money. Money was something that I could see and the most practical thing that I could hold with my hands. I found that to be beautiful. For someone like me who only knew how to destroy things, money was a way for me to protect something. I must give a fitting reward to people who use their money for me. There’s no reason for a fiery thunderbolt to strike from the sky. It can shoot up from the ground as well. The sky is strong and arrogant. Be wary of the person with the sky attribute."*

He once set the northern area of the Western Continent on fire to help free the Sky Eating Water and also to destroy a huge amount of Golems and Black Despair surrounding the area. His parents were among those whose souls were used to create the Black Despair of the golems he destroyed. At some point, he nearly burned down The World Tree, causing it to collect money to appease him if he ever came back.

The thunderbolt tattoo on Cale's chest disappeared because the original owner of the Fire of Destruction died while fighting against the golems and black mages of the ancient White Star. He had channeled more power than ever at the time because of the Wall of Darkness. The sky had been dark as the Wall covered it. An endless horde of large black golems and the black mages controlling them had charged forward to him from the distance like a tidal wave.

## Use:

Cale used a little bit the original form of fire of distraction in Whipper Kingdom Battle.

*"A single streak of red. It was different from the flash of lightning. It was the true form of the Fire of Destruction. It wasn’t a rose-gold colored thunderbolt. It was blood red."*
