Chapter 1443 The Flame Fiend
Chapter 1443 The Flame Fiend
Leland overheard the Rule Soul Avatar and Merle's conversation, but he still didn't know who they were
talking about.
After making sure that Merle had placed Jenifer in a safe place, the Rule Soul Avatar lowered his head
and looked through the ground to gather his power in the deep mine.
"Come out!" he commanded.
His voice was like thunder that roared through the depths of the earth.
Boom!
With a loud sound, deep gullies suddenly appeared on the ground with hot magma flowing.
Then firelights came out of the cracks and pierced through the sky.
"I wanted to let you get out of there, but it's a pity that you seem to be courting death."
They heard a demonic voice under the ground. It was so ear-piercing, as it resonated across the mine.
Leland shivered upon hearing it.
The voice and the aura were so familiar to him.
To find out the source of the voice, he started to penetrate his fiendish sense into the ground.
"My dear brother, don't bother. It's me."
A flame figure flew out of the crack.
"Flame Fiend, it's you!" Leland exclaimed.
His face was filled with shock upon seeing the figure. He even felt a little painful.
The Flame Fiend flew over and stood in front of Leland.
"Aren't you even going to call me by my real name?"
The Flame Fiend was Orlando, Leland's elder brother. He was the ninth prince of the overthrown
empire.
"You betrayed our father!" rebuked Leland.
"Ha-ha! What are you talking about? We are in a world where strength decides for everything. Of
course, I should choose to follow a stronger emperor. I don't think that's betrayal," Orlando countered
loudly.
"You are stupid! You betrayed our family and the whole empire. Because of your betrayal, our father
died together with the tens of thousands of strong fiends of our empire. Do you still think that you didn't
do anything wrong?" Leland gave Orlando a disdainful look. Back then, their father was invited to This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
attend the meeting of the eight emperors. But on their father's way to the venue, he was attacked and
killed by four emperors. They later found out that someone had leaked their father's whereabouts to
those emperors. What happened led to the destruction of their empire.
If no one betrayed their father, he would never be besieged and killed.
Leland had already suspected that it was Orlando. But he didn't get the chance to confirm his
conjecture because Orlando had disappeared. He thought that Orlando died in the battle. But now that
Orlando suddenly appeared in front of him, everything was clear. His brother was the one behind all
these.
In their land, there were eight great empires being controlled by a generation of emperors. If the
emperor of an empire died, his subordinates would definitely be slaughtered by the other empires.
They would only stop if a new emperor was born to contend against them.
After their father's death, tens of thousands of his subordinates and great fiend gods were all killed.
Until now, the Kasen Empire that was established by their father was still in a chaotic state because
they had no new emperor yet.
They had the same situation with the Chu Clan.
"Leland, stop being silly. Our father just used us to protect his own empire. We were only his tools. Why
should we care about that so-called bloodline? It's something that only those pathetic humans care. Do
you understand?"
Orlando paused for a while before he continued, "Now, I'll give you a chance. If you decide to join the
Naters Empire, I promise you, you will become a lord and rule a domain one day. You will be next to the
emperor."
Orlando tried to talk Leland into surrendering. He knew that Leland had the potential to become a lord
and even an emperor.
"Are you crazy? You are so rebellious."
Leland was in disbelief. Orlando killed their father and destroyed their empire, yet he didn't feel
ashamed at all. He thought that Orlando was as ruthless as a metal creature.
"Humph! I don't want to waste my time explaining to you anymore. You only have two options. First,
follow me and become a subordinate of Emperor Naters. Second, if you refuse, you will follow our
father in the darkness and never come back to life."
Orlando then turned to look at the Rule Soul Avatar and said, "And you human ant, I will definitely not
let you go. Get ready to die now."
His eyes were as deep as a black hole, but the flames on his body were raging.
The Rule Soul Avatar retreated a little with an impassive face.
He said to Leland, "Kill him. After he dies, I will help you build your own empire."
"Even if you don't tell me, I will really kill him. This madman killed my father. I will tear him into pieces to
avenge my father's death," Leland roared.
"It seems that you have already made your choice. I pity you for choosing to be with that human. And
because of your imprudent decision, I will never give you a chance to survive." Since Leland sided with
the Rule Soul Avatar, Orlando thought that Leland didn't deserve to be a fiend and deserved to die.
Boom!
The fire raged across the mine when Orlando waved his hands. In an instant, the whole area turned
into a sea of flames.
It was undeniable that Orlando had grown much stronger than before. His strength now was
comparable to that of the human warriors at the upper-level of the Superior God Realm.
The Rule Soul Avatar was aware that he had no chance of winning against Orlando.
That was the reason why he let Leland go into the Source of Laws and let Leland completely remove
the seal so he could improve his strength.
In this way, Leland could have the chance to kill Orlando.
The Rule Soul Avatar had known that Orlando was just hiding under the ground, so he deliberately
provoked Orlando to surface.
His reason was simple. If Orlando got killed, he would get something very important that was related to
the fate of the whole human race in the future.
Orlando and Leland broke into a fight. As their duel continued, their fiend powers started to destroy the
mine. In the end, the whole place was turned into ruins.
If it weren't for the powerful restriction that enveloped the mine, the great fiend gods would have
already come to check what was going on.
While watching, the Rule Soul Avatar deduced that the battle would take ten days. He had also
predicted that Leland was fighting a losing battle.
But he was not worried at all. Because when the time was ripe, he would also make a move to help
Leland. So the result was still uncertain.
Since the battle would last for a few days, the Rule Soul Avatar decided to fly into the ruins below to
check on Jenifer first.
Jenifer was safe because a seal was protecting the thirty square feet area where she was. It was not
affected by the fiend power.
When the Rule Soul Avatar landed, he immediately held Jenifer in his arms.
"Xavier, you have already saved your woman. Why don't you take this opportunity to leave?" said
Merle. He was disappointed that the Rule Soul Avatar still stayed in the mine even after finding Jenifer.
He thought that if they went out and the Rule Soul Avatar killed some fiends, he would merge with the
dead fiends and improve his strength. If his strength gradually improved, it wouldn't be long before he
reached a level that was only a little weaker than the Rule Soul Avatar.
Currently, Merle was at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm. He could only merge with the dead
fiends whose strength was equivalent to the warriors at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm at
the most. This restriction actually made him really angry. If only he could merge with a dead guard in
the mining area.
"Why don't you just stay here? Who knows? You may even become an emperor here. But if you leave,
you might lose everything. Which do you think is better?" the Rule Soul Avatar said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Merle asked with a frown.
The Rule Soul Avatar didn't explain any further. He just said, "Once I leave this mining area, I will return
to the human race. You have to survive here on your own."
"That's bullshit!" Merle got furious in an instant.
