"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Flames surged forth like a raging ocean, crushing and spreading across everything in their path, instantly igniting every object within sight and releasing scorching heat.
The temperature kept rising, scorching the air until it began to distort.
Orange-red flames enveloped the entire wasteland, creating a peculiar beauty.
"The chakra and stamina consumption isn't much, but its power has increased by over a hundred percent compared to before!"
