“Show me what you can do.”

Once Himmel Soan gave her permission, Firey’s flames went full blast.

Everything around them started burning. Even the air seemed to be on fire.

No.

It didn’t “seem” like it. The air was actually burning. To be more precise, something in the air was set on fire.

They finally knew why the moonlight was red.

There were innumerable tiny red bugs in the air, so tiny that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

Shortly after, Firey’s flames turned these bugs into little firecrackers.

They all made crackling noises when they died, but the sounds were so low that they were negligible.

However, Firey cared about the noise because they were her achievement.

“You’ve made the right choice,” said Himmel Soan.

He didn’t know what to do, so he had to take the risk. Letting Firey have it her way wasn’t a bad choice.

Setting fire here didn’t do much damage. If anything, she had done a good deed by purifying the environment.

“Master, my fire can solve all problems. We don’t need to overthink it!” Firey tried to mimic Himmel Soan’s demeanor, but she was clunked on the forehead.

“Don’t be a smart ass. Something’s going to happen. Stay alert!”

Himmel Soan observed their surroundings. The bugs couldn’t be the only creatures here. Their red light didn’t pose any threat.

The shadows they saw the day before were real, but they hadn’t revealed themselves yet. It was too early to let their guard down.

“Alright. I see…” Firey pouted.

She hadn’t been pleased with herself for two seconds before she got criticized again.

What a shame!

Suddenly, a shadow flashed by, followed by another.

“They’re here!” Himmel Soan recognized them as the shadows from the night before.

“Master, they’re so fast!”

Firey thought she was fast, but she couldn’t even see what the shadows looked like. She had to admit these things were much faster than her.

“Watch out! Your left!” Himmel Soan shouted.

“Yes!” Firey instantly sent a streak of energy to her left, hitting one of the shadows.

It fell to the ground, screamed, and disappeared.

“What on earth was that?”

Firey was dumbfounded. She couldn’t imagine it simply being a shadow.

At first, she thought she couldn’t see its face because it was too fast. As it turned out, the shadow was really just a shadow.

It was as peculiar as that fog ghost.

Himmel Soan also frowned and took out the dagger. Something seemed to be interfering with it here. He couldn’t see the strings anymore.

Even when the strings appeared, they were all tangled together.

“The dagger doesn’t work anymore. Should I keep going? Will the two demonic gods be here?

“Should I advance or retreat?” Himmel Soan murmured.

Going back wasn’t an option. Having come this far, charging ahead was his only option. If he fell back here, he would never find Gina.

Firey hit another shadow. This time, she didn’t let it get away but finished it off with two more fireballs.

The shadow got away the first time because she didn’t land the killing blow.

She had learned from her mistake and would always make sure that it was completely dead.

Himmel Soan stepped forward, wishing to study the shadow. The next second, it sank into the ground.

“What?” Himmel Soan and Firey were speechless. They didn’t even have a chance to study it.

“Master, something’s wrong. My fire is weakening!” Firey suddenly noticed the abnormality.

As the controller of the fire, she could sense any changes in it.

Right now, it was getting weaker against her wishes. Something else was making it happen.

“My fire is gone!” said Firey.

“Yes, I can see that,” Himmel Soan said calmly.

He wasn’t surprised. Rather, he felt the fire had been put off much later than he thought.

The fire lasted for fifteen minutes. He thought it would be extinguished within ten minutes.

Although there was a discrepancy, it wouldn’t affect his plan.

The noise would at least attract some attention. Since both demonic gods were here, somebody would notice the fire and be drawn here.

That was what Himmel Soan thought.

“What are you doing?” somebody asked.

“It’s you.” Himmel Soan was dumbfounded.

It was the bald demon, the team leader of those demons.

They had an argument, but Himmel Soan forgot about it after that illusion. He didn’t expect to meet that demon here again.

“You? You’re not dead.” The bald demon was a little surprised, too.

He wasn’t surprised that Himmel Soan was still alive because the latter had the dagger. With that kind of luck, he couldn’t have died so easily.

He was surprised that Himmel Soan could find this place.

“If you’re alive, why should I be dead?” said Himmel Soan. He then tried to gather some information. “What’s this place?”
