After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Heart of Strange Fire

For the past two days, Nina Jacobs had been training her Fire Element Superpower whenever she was alone.

In her past life, Liam Grant had been a Thunder and Fire Dual Element Superpower User, but he preferred to develop his Thunder Element Superpower.

This was the drawback of being a Dual Element Superpower User: if you wanted to make one Superpower stronger, the other had to be suppressed.

Nina Jacobs didn’t think the Fire Element Superpower was inferior to the Thunder Element Superpower. She even believed its power could surpass the Thunder Element.

Unfortunately, Liam Grant didn’t see it that way. After all, the Thunder Element Superpower was much rarer.

Gazing at the Fireball that ignited in her palm, Nina Jacobs began to control it, morphing it into various shapes and sizes.

The Fireball would become a ring floating in mid-air, then a shield, then an arrow...

’I need to upgrade my Superpower as soon as possible to increase its power.’

A Superpower User’s Superpower could be upgraded. These upgrades depended on the user’s talent and their mastery of the Superpower. Of course, their own Superpower Energy was the most fundamental requirement.

The higher the Superpower Level, the greater its power.

There were no shortcuts to leveling up—only diligent, arduous practice.

Nina Jacobs decided to kill the two zombies in the basement right now.

It was now the dead of night, and everyone else was fast asleep. Nina Jacobs went down to the basement alone.

Daniel Hale’s villa was lavishly decorated, and when Nina flipped the switch, the basement became as bright as day.

The two zombies snarled behind the glass door, desperate to get out.

Nina Jacobs pressed the switch on the wall, opening the door.

Watching the two zombies roaring and charging at her, Nina Jacobs felt not a single ripple of emotion.

Egg-sized Fireballs struck the zombies’ shoulders, thighs, and arms in succession. Instantly, the foul stench of burnt flesh filled the air.

’My aim is decent.’

Nina Jacobs continued her test as she dodged their attacks.

She discovered that the more Superpower Energy she poured into a Fireball, the greater its power. The Fireball she’d infused with the most energy punched a clean hole right through Ben Stone’s shoulder.

’Effective.’

Nina Jacobs grew interested. In just a few moments, Ben Stone’s body was riddled with holes of all sizes, scorched and perforated.

"ROAR!!"

As if enraged, Ben Stone roared and lunged forward with renewed speed.

’Perfect timing.’

Nina Jacobs hurled an even larger Fireball.

The Fireball burned straight through the right side of the zombie’s head. Ben Stone collapsed heavily to the floor.

Next was Jenna Sullivan. A Fireball struck her squarely between the eyes, and the basement fell silent.

[Host has completed their first kill using the Fire Element Superpower. "First Zombie" title triggered. Rewarding Skill: "Heart of Strange Fire".]

’A Skill reward?!’

Nina Jacobs opened the "Heart of Strange Fire" Skill description. She realized it was an incredible, heaven-defying Skill exclusive to the Fire Element Superpower.

It increased Attack Power by 30% and, as long as it was supplied with Fire Element Crystal Cores, could be used with no cooldown!

’Fire Element Crystal Cores, huh?’

Nina Jacobs recalled having plenty of them in her storage grid in her past life. It was a shame she hadn’t brought any back with her.

Just then, a strange noise came from nearby.

Drawn by the noise, Leo Hale arrived to see the scene in the basement and froze on the spot.

"You... did all this?" Leo Hale was still clutching a frying pan.

He had been too worried to sleep. When he heard the commotion and rushed over, he found two dead bodies.

"Yeah. I’m going to bed.

Make sure you clean this place up."

Leaving a stunned Leo Hale behind, Nina Jacobs walked right out of the basement.

’How did she do it...?’

Leo Hale stared at the gruesome state of the two corpses. ’Did she use some kind of incredible firearm?’
