The stranger looked up and watched it all in shock.

- I saw the steaming gray-black smoke tumbling upward, and there were deep red and golden flames inside.

Not far in front of him, the Temple of Silver and Tin began in the center, spewing a large amount of dust and smoke inward, and the entire building gradually shattered and collapsed.

Buildings that have been strengthened by the Preservator also have no resistance. The entire building made a crunching sour sound as if it had been chewed and swallowed by some kind of monster. With the shaking of the ground, it curled and collapsed one by one.

And the strange microscope-like monocle worn by the stranger on his face automatically rotates and expands, giving him a new vision:

I saw the heat spreading throughout the building, like a clump of soil clung to by the roots of a plant. Not far away, a huge figure that was so hot that strangers didn't dare to look directly at it even through the heavy walls gradually stood up.

It was slowly absorbing the entire Temple of Silver and Tin, growing larger and larger at a rate visible to the naked eye.

earth and stone for bones, and fire for flesh.

A lava giant made of molten metal and rock, growing larger and larger as it continues to gain "material" from its surroundings in the flames that shrink inward.

- That's the Fire Demon!

The two Star Antimony powerhouses who appeared in the picture during the plot introduction stage are actually very familiar to strangers. These are all his acquaintances.

One of them was his mentor in the Psychic Tower; The other is a senior with whom he has a good relationship, Lieutenant General Leo Carr. Not long ago, he entered the same advanced ritual with him, and caused him to break his leg.

Although the stranger is not a demon scholar, because of his strong curiosity, he once asked Lieutenant General Karl why there was "another soul" in his body.

Lieutenant General Karl did not have any taboos about this, but directly told the stranger the truth:

When these demon scholars were promoted to demon incarnation, a demon seed began to appear in their bodies.

They are all extremely powerful high-ranking demons, and they are powerful boosts that normal demon scholars cannot obtain through summoning and contracting. Just by extracting power from their bodies, they can obtain supernatural powers comparable to the energy affinity of the fourth level.

When the demon avatars had just reached the fourth energy level, these demons were still in an inert state. If killed at this time, the demon in the body will usually only release distorted power.

But once they reach the fifth level, these demons are activated...... It's like an egg that started out with only a yolk and has become a mature embryo that is about to hatch into a chick and has begun to grow hair and flesh inside.

The demon avatar must use rituals or curses to limit the activity of the demon in the body, otherwise it may get out of control if you are not careful.

If they were about to die, then these fifth-level powerhouses would also go directly into the ritual circle that restrained the demons. In this way, when they die and the demons break out, these demons can be directly sealed or expelled. You can even be contracted by your own students to become a powerful help to each other.

And if they are accidentally killed, then the out-of-control demon will teach the murderer a lesson - although the sealed demon has a great hatred for the host itself, it does not mean that they will be grateful to the enemy who unleashed them.

These primordial demons possess all the memories, knowledge, and feelings of their hosts from birth to death. It's not so much a demon, but another demonic personality born after being branded with a great sin.

Although they are actually two souls with the main body, there are some similarities in personality.

General Karl also told the stranger that the correct promotion route for the demon scholar is to defeat the strong again when he reaches the sixth energy level, and completely devour the demon personality in his body.

When two personalities become one, it is equivalent to two selves overlapping each other. In this way, you can truly control this power and become a true "demon incarnate".

And it is clear that this fire demon is the product of "not so perfect". It is a proof of the death of General Karl.

When General Karl was killed and the fire demon burst out, the enemy who killed him must have been consumed by the uncontrollable flames.

But after it defeats its enemies, Star Antimony will become its new and only enemy—

Because it is the inheritance of Star Antimony that taught General Karl how to suppress himself, how to restrain himself, and how to draw a steady stream of power from his body. Having been bound for so many years, its hatred for the Star Antimony is far greater than everything else......

But perhaps because of this, he is now safe for the time being, because it has no intention of destroying Avalon. The stranger thought to himself.

After all, the role he now plays is that of a court alchemist in Avalon. It made his situation safe.

If you say, who is the person that the fire demon wants to attack the most at this moment...... Then you can only be your own mentor.

— that is, Mr. Bruzwick, codenamed "The Consultant". He was the old man in the black robe.

But in the next moment, the stranger's complexion suddenly changed.

Because he heard the sound of the fire demon pounding his fists on the ground.

In an instant, the earth shook. Buildings shook violently, shattered, and collapsed. The panic and shouts of the knights suddenly came from inside the building.

The magical monocle worn by the alchemist shrank and curled, focusing repeatedly, locking onto one soul after another that had died as it was consumed by the flames.

Through his strange clair, which could turn everything extraordinary into transparency, he could easily see the flames spreading from the giant's fists, like the roots of a plant, like a snake or a centipede.

They burrowed into the walls and the earth, and as the buildings shook and shattered, they burst out of the cracks and attacked the knights.

No, they don't even target just knights!

Even the common people, the servants who worked in the palace, were devoured by the fiery serpent and let out a terrible scream.

Even the fourth-level arbitrators have little resistance to this. Their defensive spells were easily pierced, and blessed metal armor melted like paper.

…… What's going on?!

The stranger shuddered.

Fortunately, soon after he landed, he packed his things as soon as he wanted to run. The materials and potions he used to cast the spell were packed into a brown-red leather suitcase.

He picked up the box and ran. As soon as he reached the door, a knight rushed over.

"Master Nobel, please leave quickly!"

He was very nervous, and raised his sword to aim at a slender fire snake crawling out of the corner: "I'll cut it off for you—"

"Don't break it!"

The stranger grabbed the knight by the shoulder, almost screaming, and shouted, "Anyway...... Come on! Let's run! ”

At this moment, the knight gathered his sword and prepared to leave.

And a fiery snake that ejected from the corner of the wall had been gathering momentum for a long time.

Like flaming arrows, like hounds.

The blade of the sword that the knight had subconsciously raised was easily burned into an ever-expanding hole, like a newspaper scorched through the middle by flames. He instinctively deflected his way to save his life - the fiery serpent shot straight into the ceiling, causing it to drip with molten steel.

The afterglow of the passing heat in a split second made his helmet hot and made him scream—the left side of his face scorched as if it had been burned on an iron plate. The stranger even faintly smelled the smell of barbecue.

But the energy and perseverance of the knights are extraordinary.

He was not killed in the first place, but he only took a few breaths in place and eased up.

Seeing the "Nobel Master" trotting all the way, he fled at a rapid pace. He finally didn't like it, and rushed over to carry the stranger up.

The stranger immediately felt his scalding armor — like hours in the sun at noon in the middle of summer. Even with the robes insulated by the heat, the stranger couldn't help but let out a scream of being burned.

Even so, he clung to his suitcase and didn't let go.

The two of them let out one scream after another, and ran towards the outside of the Temple of Silver and Tin.

They could see clearly that one of the knights on their way to escape had tried to swing his sword to cut off a fiery serpent that was attacking them, only to be pierced through the chest by the fiery serpent.

Flames gushed out from the cracks in his armor, and his screams lasted only a few seconds before disappearing completely. He soon stopped struggling in pain and became quiet. But the fire gushing out from the cracks in the armor became more and more stable and quiet.

The metal armor turned into a half-melted gesture - the stranger used the monocle of "Nobel" to clearly see that the man's soul was forged by the flames into a new form.

It's like the soul is parasitized by a fiery snake, and it's like a piece of steel being melted and mixed with bone meal. You can still see the traces of the original, but it is clear that it is no longer the same person as before.

Flaming knights, flaming servants, flaming skeletons—more and more people gathered. Their clothing and weapons were in flames, but they remained in their previous form and were not burned.

The flames on their bodies were all golden red, and they all held weapons in their hands that were made of purple flames. Where they were supposed to be eyeballs, they also turned into two burning purple-black flames.

As they gradually burn, the parts that belong to humans become less and less visible to the naked eye.

First the skin and hair, then the flesh. Even if there was only one skeleton left, it continued to burn, turning into a flame that grew stronger and stronger. In the end, only a vague human form remains, which becomes a pure element.

However, the Flame Demon in the center of the Silver and Tin Temple had already become about half of its size at this moment. It still kept its fists touching the ground, and the entire temple of silver and tin was in its flames, gradually beginning to burn.

A "Fire Demon Army" was created from scratch!
