That had blocked their path.
Those who have escaped fell into the abyss again.
The fire elementals surged from behind and did not care about the enemy’s mood.
They burned everything clean.
Thick black smoke covered the sky. And a pungent stench spread.
The screams in the air calmed down. One could not see a single existence stand in the field.
Most of the Blazing Flame Guild troop had all died except for a few who slipped through the spatial gate.
Richard looked at the ignition of the world. His expression was rather subtle.
No one would have thought that this menacing war filled with the ambitions of the Blazing Flame Guild would end in such a manner.
Not a single existence remained on the battlefield. The Fire Elemental Lord, the protagonist of this battle, looked at Richard again.
The boss had mixed feelings toward Richard.
Gratitude fused with respect.
Last time, the lord of dunes had joined forces with the god of the kobolds that attacked Twilight City. He stood on the side of Twilight City without reservation and fought hundreds of rounds with the enemy.
He had personally witnessed the devour of the Kobold God’s soul.
Some time ago, the Crimson Moon had risen, and the slaying of ten gods spread to every plane.
The Fire Elemental Plane was no exception.
He saw clearly that the Kobold God was among them.
The Fire Elemental Lord could guess Richard had a close connection with the Crimson Moon. Richard had not said anything about it.
He could even bury a god. The Grace Mainland Lord had not released it from the Blacklight Tower.
Richard’s growth had far exceeded his expectations.
Not to mention. Klose threw a deep glance at a spot in the void.
‘Two transcendents!’
He sensed an evil and dark aura when the spatial rift shattered. Richard might even be mightier than him.
It had only been a short time, yet Richard already had two transcendents as subordinates.
Therefore, even if he participated in this war and chose to stand on the side of the Blazing Flame Guild, there was no chance of victory.
He could use the flames of the fire plane to burn down the city, but he could not extinguish Qingqiu.
The other party could have buried him if he were too careless.
He could have died if Richard summoned the mysterious helper who slayed the Kobold God!
That angered him when the Blazing Flame Guild summoned him to attack Richard.
Richard was an intimate friend who had greatly helped him and a soul-crushing expert!
These idiots almost had him killed!
The Fire Elemental Lord was so furious. He wanted to use the blood and souls of these idiots to prove his pure friendship with Twilight City.
However, the Blazing Flame Guild never knew about this. They only saw the Fire Elemental Lord bow to Richard, and before the other party could even speak, the Fire Elemental Lord had turned on them.
“Lord Richard, I’ve heard about this plane from the Grace Mainland Lords. I could help you deal with Raging Blood Duke despite his connivance with the abyss. Just let me know.”
The ancient elemental language sounded again.
Richard chuckled as he looked at the intimidating elemental creature.
“That would be best then!”
The people of Lion City heard the conversation. That heightened their morale.
They looked at the figure that floated in the sky with burning gazes.
That was what they relied on!
The lord of the Fire Elemental Plane was a powerful existence that could quickly wash a city out.
But he nonetheless bowed to Richard when they met. He even unhesitantly summoned Grace Mainland Lords.
This kind of deterrence made the underlings tremble.
His approval and respect for Richard reached its peak.
Joy and peace convexed Lion City. They were peaceful during the victory.
A figure was agitated at the Ell Kingdom capital palace.
The Raging Blood Duke sat on the throne. He revealed an incredulous expression while a soldier reported to him.
“You mean…The ultimate move the Blazing Flame Guild had relied on was to summon the lord of the Fire Elemental Plane? However, the Fire Elemental Lord attacked them instead and destroyed ten of their legions?”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!”
The hall fell silent after the soldier’s reply. The surrounding high-level heroes looked at the soldier with a dangerous expression.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
The reporting soldier could not withstand the surrounding gazes of the top-notch big shots.
However, he had no choice. The information was just that. What could he do?
One had never anticipated the Blazing Flame Guild’s stupidity.
“You may leave.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
The soldier felt relieved and quickly fled.
The soldier left, and a female hero in her forties stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
“Your Royal Highness, the rebels who have unconsciously displayed strange movements and dreamt of unrealistic fantasies about the remnants of the royal family of Ell gradually surfaced in the past few days after the last victory.”
“We can make our move now.
“The Blazing Flame Guild might have failed, but they found a portion of the Grace Mainland Lords’s strength…”
They didn’t expect Qingqiu to have such a trick.
Something must be extraordinary about a person to become a king of billions of followers.
However, that was all. The duke was still far from being able to fight against them!
She calmed down and continued.
“If my guess is correct, that Fire Elemental Lord is a crucial trump card of the other party. This exposure would enormously reduce the threats against us.
“His power is no longer mysterious and unpredictable.”
Her tone sounded gradually lighter as she spoke.
“That Grace Mainland Overlord’s strength couldn’t be much beyond our estimation.
“Otherwise, they wouldn’t have defended Lion City and not dared to attack.
“The other party has more scruples about us than we do about him.”
These words made the other heroes nod their heads.
That was something that everyone acknowledged.
They wouldn’t have stayed in Lion City for so long if Grace Mainland Lord could overpower them on the battlefield.
The female hero pondered for a moment before she continued.
“According to the current situation, even if the other party still hid one, no, two transcendents, they won’t be able to stop our advance!”
Her tone gradually sounded high-pitched.
“Unless the other party has a god to rely on!”
These words boosted the morale of the people in the palace.
“We’re not who that Grace Mainland Overlord thinks we are…The support of the abyss is the foundation of our foothold.
“The great lord of greed is watching us!
“Unless that Qingqiu has the strength to contend with this lord. But that wouldn’t be possible!!”
Fervor filled everyone’s eyes.
“How could that Grace Mainland Lord fight against the ruler of the abyss?”
“What a joke!”
They could have flattened Lion City if not for their desire to wipe out all the forces that supported the remnants of the royal family.
“Your Royal Highness, send the troops!”
Everyone looked up at the majestic figure on the gemstone throne.
The Raging Blood Duke looked at everyone’s fanatical gazes and slowly stood up.
He lifted the sword that leaned against the throne and held the hilt with both hands. He placed the sword before his chest and pointed the tip toward the sky.
“For the ruler of greed!”
The other heroes immediately pulled out their swords and sabers and made the same praise gesture. They had burning eyes.
“For the ruler of greed!”
They finished shouting. An evil aura that did not belong to humans appeared on everyone’s bodies.
It came from the abyss.
