"Day 45: The three of you hid in a house for the night.

On the streets outside, you saw the so-called demons.

Their bodies were scorched black, with patterns etched onto them as if flames were about to erupt.

They had humanoid appearances, and their eyes, like torches, scanned everything around them.

Kara narrowed her eyes. 'They're intermediate demons, Flame Fiends.'

'Why are they here?'

The black cat looked towards the royal palace.

'There's an unusual power of fire there.

Could these Flame Fiends be heading there?'

Hearing their conversation, you immediately thought of the treasure in Cabanas's possession that you also desired.

Legend has it that this treasure can burn everything in the world.

In your opinion, this treasure likely contains the divine power of the God of Fire, which is one of the reasons you asked to borrow it.

Could it be that the Flame Fiends are here for this treasure?

Kara and the black cat both thought of this.

They both know you possess the divine power of the God of Fire.

'Kern, should we break in?'

Kara asked.

You shook your head.

These Flame Fiends are at least seventh-order.

Among the three of you, only Kara is seventh-order.

The Flame Fiends are numerous and not easy to deal with.

A single mistake could lead to all of you being killed.

Suddenly, the black cat's eyes looked to the northwest.

'It's Geskou's aura!'

You sensed it too.

Geskou is here?

There were no Flame Fiends in the northwest of the city; you had already scouted it out when you arrived.

'Let's go take a look!'

You immediately made up your mind and, with Kara and the black cat, carefully left the city and headed towards the northwest.

You saw Geskou.

One of Geskou's wings was broken, and his aura was extremely weak.

On his abdomen, a scorched red mark with small flames still burning was clearly visible and terrifying.

Seeing you, he opened his eagle beak and struggled to give an elegant salute. 'You… finally came. I thought I'd never see you again…'

As soon as he finished speaking.

Geskou fainted, his life force rapidly fading.

You immediately cast Greater Restoration, but it was of no use.

Kara took out a potion from his interspatial ring and poured it into Geskou's mouth.

Geskou's aura instantly stabilized, and his injuries stabilized as well.

However, the wound on Geskou's abdomen showed no signs of healing.

After examining it, Kara shook her head and said, 'This is fire poison from a Flame Fiend King's attack. Don't even mention that this little eagle is only a sixth-order peak fire-attribute magical beast; even an eighth-order magical beast might not be able to withstand it.'

Flame Fiend King?!

You were stunned and looked at Geskou. 'Will he die?'

Kara nodded and said nothing more.

You were stunned.

He'll die!

Suddenly, the black cat's amber eyes stared intently at Kara. 'You can save him, right? I can pay a reward.'

Kara shook her head. 'Saving him is indeed possible, but it requires Heavenly Fire Meteorite Wood Essence. Do you have it?'

The fire poison of a Flame Fiend is already difficult to resolve, and the fire poison of its king is almost impossible.

Using Heavenly Fire Meteorite Wood Essence can draw it out.

But none of us have it on hand.'

Heavenly Fire Meteorite Wood Essence?!

Both the black cat and you were stunned.

The black cat once gave you a piece, but you already used it to advance Little Fire's rank; Kara knows this.

You looked at Kara. 'Kara, Little Fire is a fire spirit, not a physical being.

After absorbing the Heavenly Fire Meteorite Wood Essence, Little Fire also possesses some of its characteristics. Can't it be used to treat Geskou?'

Kara was silent for a moment, meeting your and the black cat's gaze.

'Kern, freeze Geskou's body first to delay the loss of life. After we return, I'll think of a way.'

Seeing Kara say this, you breathed a sigh of relief and immediately released the Domain of the God of Frost to freeze Geskou's body.

"Day 46: You returned to the Grokast Royal City again.

The flames had dissipated.

The royal city was being repaired everywhere.

You arrived at the royal palace.

The royal palace was the most severely damaged; almost none of it resembled its original appearance.

Cabanas stood in the very center, holding a dark black stone in his hand, his expression dazed.

He didn't seem to have any injuries, but beside him lay more than a dozen corpses, two of which were Flame Fiends.

Seeing the corpses of these two Flame Fiends, Kara and the black cat's expressions became serious.

The lowest rank of Flame Fiends is seventh-order.

Yet two of them had fallen here. Clearly, none of these principalities with deep foundations are easy to provoke.

Seeing you, Cabanas's expression finally softened a little.

'Kern… you, why are you here?'

You came to his side, your face cold. 'I want to ask you.

What's going on here?

The sixth-order peak subordinate I sent is also on the verge of death!'

Your questioning made Cabanas sigh.

He held up the dark black stone in his hand. 'Those Flame Fiends came to collect a debt.'

'The Flame Skyhawk you sent happened to run into the Flame Fiend King.'

You stared at Cabanas. 'So, the magical beast riot was fake.'

'From the beginning, you knew the cause of the riot was the Flame Fiends.

Your transaction with me was to help you draw aggro.'

Cabanas nodded. 'Kern, you're very clever.'

'However, I didn't expect the Flame Fiend King to personally take action.'

'One strike…'

His gaze fell on the royal palace, which was now a ruin.

'The royal palace became like this.

Fortunately, reinforcements from the kingdom arrived quickly. Seeing them, the Flame Fiends left.'

You were stunned.

An eighth-order expert is actually terrifying to this extent.

One strike turned the vast royal palace into ruins!!!

Cabanas looked at you. 'But the treasure has also been stolen. This is the base of the treasure. By relying on this base, you can still establish a connection with the treasure and find it.'

'Now, I'm fulfilling the agreement. The treasure has been taken, so I can't lend it to you. I can only give you the base.'

You looked at the dark black base, your face grim. 'How are you going to settle the debt for tricking my subordinate to death?'

Cabanas looked at you. 'Although I deceived you, you also didn't complete my commission. Isn't it normal for sacrifices to occur during a commission?'

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the two Flame Fiend corpses on the ground. 'Take them back. Maybe you can find a way to save the Flame Skyhawk.'

After Cabanas finished speaking, he sighed. 'If you have any other needs, I will continue to compensate you.'

Since things had come to this, you didn't say anything more.

If you can't save Geskou, you will come back and settle the score with Cabanas.

"…"

"Day 48: You returned to the Kern Principality.

With Little Fire's assistance, Kara fully assisted in saving Geskou."

"Day 49: Good news arrived.

The fire poison on Geskou's body has been removed.

You breathed a sigh of relief.

Another message arrived.

King Cabanas of Grokast died one day ago for unknown reasons."
