After seeing the effects of Hell Fire, my eyes lit up.
"Nice one," I sighed.
The Hell Fire should be considered one of the abilities of the pureblood Phenex.
However, this ability is definitely worth the investment, at least according to me.
Hell Fire's three abilities are all outstanding and very comprehensive: attack, defense, and healing.
"At least I've now improved from cannon fodder to a soldier," I smiled self-deprecatingly.
Possessing the Hell Fire gave me the minimum self-protection ability, so I wouldn't be helpless against an opponent.
"FIRE," I muttered in my heart, then activated the Hell Fire on myself.
Suddenly, flames erupted from my body, filling the whole room with heat.
With a thought, the blazing flames converged on my right hand.
"So good!" I said, controlling the Hell Fire effortlessly as if it were a natural extension of myself.
The flames were easily controlled by me.
The Hell Fire obtained through the system is very similar to those sacred gears among humans.
I opened my attribute panel through the system.

"I wonder how I would fare against stray devils if I use Hell Fire," I pondered, considering my strength in this world.
Apart from being able to use Hell Fire, my physical fitness was still similar to that of ordinary people.
And the strength of a Low-Class devil far exceeds that of ordinary people.
I tested the power of Hell Fire by melting a steel spoon easily and healing a slight wound on my hand with a flame.
When my body transformed into flames, knives couldn't harm me, as if they were cutting through real flames.
"It's just too exhausting," I noted, feeling tired and my breathing becoming chaotic, as if I had run several hundred meters.
"I still need to improve my basic strength," I said, clear about my development direction.
Without basic strength, even using Hell Fire would be like a child wielding a magic weapon without knowing how to use it.
After familiarizing myself with Hell Fire, I made a call.
"Hey, Uncle Yoah, help me find out if there is a town called Kuoh in Japan. If there is, I want to transfer there," I instructed.
On the other end of the phone was the housekeeper of my predecessor, an assistant left by my deceased parents.
My predecessor was a rich brat whose parents had died, leaving him a large property.
Though the identity of a rich brat is useless against supernatural creatures, it is convenient for dealing with daily chores.
The town information wasn't important, so the investigation was completed soon, including a list of some influential figures in Kuoh Town.
"Rias Gremory, you will be a senior in high school after the summer vacation," I noted, recognizing the spoiled princess immediately.
"It looks like the story hasn't started yet," I searched for relevant memories about High School DxD.
In the anime, the protagonist Hyoudou Issei should have just entered his second year of high school, while Rias and the others should be in their third year.
At this time, it should still be the last summer vacation before the story begins.
It was the most appropriate time to intervene.
The most important thing is that the current Red Dragon Emperor Hyoudou Issei had not yet awakened his sacred gear and was still weak.
"The Boosted Gear," I thought about how to obtain this sacred gear.
If I could possess this Longinus, my strength would be greatly improved.
Moreover, this Longinus is relatively easy to obtain compared to others, which are either not yet appeared or in the hands of powerful people.
I reckoned that using the system's copy function to copy the Boosted Gear might consume a vast amount of cosmic points.
However, if I could take it directly from Hyoudou Issei's body, I could save these points for other uses.
[A/N: There's a twist with the Issei part here, so don't jump to conclusions!]
"It's definitely not possible to rely on Rias and the others, so I can only find those fallen angels," I decided, formulating a plan in my mind.
There was still some time before the plot started, and I had plenty of time to prepare.
