Shendu

No, I got caught and then experienced a post- Intangibility?

Is that correct?

I don't think I used [Intangibility] during the First-Class Mage exam, right?

The secret hot springs in Mount Etowis have never been used anywhere.

How did Heiterge know this?

Inside the pit, Rienta stopped thinking about it, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up, and walked towards another pit to the side.

He then cast [Magic That Heals Everything] on himself and Stark.

A green light enveloped the two of them, and after a moment, the light dissipated.

Stark got up earlier than Rienta and said with a solemn expression:

"This guy... he's a bit too strong."

Frieren remained calm, gazing indifferently at Heiterge in the distance, and said without turning her head:

"Rienta, Stark, are you alright?"

Rienta and Stark exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then said in unison:

"Fine."

Standing to the side, Fern frowned and said hesitantly:

"This Magical Beast seems to know Rienta very well."

From her perspective, Rienta and Stark attacked together, but were knocked away one after another as soon as they met.

This had never happened before in any previous battles.

It's worth noting that even Frieren was caught off guard when she first faced Rienta's [Intangibility].

Although Lady Frieren quickly developed a countermeasure, she was, after all, Frieren.

What gives this Magical Beast named Heiterge the power to act?

"Then let's join forces and deal with this guy."

"I'll lead the attack, Fern will assist."

"Rienta and Stark create an opportunity through close combat."

Frieren twirled her Staff gracefully, interrupting Fern's thoughts.

Fern nodded silently, ceasing his thoughts, and gripped his Staff, looking towards Heiterge in the distance.

On the side.

Rienta glanced at Frieren's retreating figure.

Although he couldn't see Frieren's expression as she stood in front of the crowd.

However, he always felt that there was a strange... excitement in Frieren's tone when she said those words?

On the other side.

Heiterge coldly stared at Rienta and the others, or more precisely, at Rienta.

It paid no attention to the whispers of the group.

After all, in the [Fire Demon] Dungeon, his 'Health Bar' and 'stamina' will slowly recover.

Delaying the process is actually a good thing for it.

Heiterge's thoughts suddenly froze.

Good thing?

They turned me into the so-called 'gatekeeper boss,' and I'm actually feeling lucky?

The massive dragon head of Heiterge was panting heavily, and the black flames in its eyes were rising even higher.

It is the Divine Capital, but it is more than just the Divine Capital.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have renamed himself Heiterge.

One month ago.

It was leisurely taking a bath in the crater.

Suddenly, fragments of a broken memory surfaced in my mind.

It's an ending called 'Demon Xiao Long'.

After successfully absorbing the eight great demonic energies, the 'Demon Xiao Long' originally thought it could rule the entire world.

But that good-for-nothing father of 'Demon Xiao Long'.

The 'Shendu' is single-mindedly focused on fighting the wizards.

They actually chose to help those human wizards at this time.

After retrieving the [Twelve Talismans] with the help of 'Demon Xiao Long's' greatest rival.

Muttering to himself, "I have everything I need!" he charged forward to fight it.

Finally, they were sealed away along with those evil humans.

What a foolish father.

Following this memory came instructions from Honoroy, who was far away on the moon.

Send him to the Dorah Region to receive a horde of dragons and set up a Barrier there called the [Fire Demon].

Dizzy and disoriented by that memory, Heiterge arrived at the canyon in a daze.

Set up a magical Barrier as instructed by Honoroy.

Subsequently, using magic, he built Palace called [Divine Capital Prefecture] based on his memories.

As the Palace was completed, more and more fragments of memories appeared in its mind.

An incompetent father.

Unreliable subordinates.

Other demonic elders, each with their own agendas.

Until three days ago, the memory fragments stopped resurfacing.

The entire life of 'Demon Xiao Long' is now nearly complete.

And it accepted the identity of 'Demon Xiao Long'.

It was quite satisfied with the Palace in [Divine Capital Prefecture] and planned to stay there for a few more days before considering its next move.

A day earlier, the dragons went out to forage for food.

On a whim, it also wanted to go out and see the world.

As for the task assigned by Honoroy, hasn't it already been completed?

Receive the dragon horde and establish the [Fire Demon] Barrier.

Even if Honoroy came, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

However, it was only discovered when it reached the edge of the canyon.

It can't get out.

This Barrier, known as the [Fire Demon], firmly locked him within this canyon.

"Divine Capital, just focus on being the boss of this limited-time Dungeon."

It remembers that sound.

Before the 'Demon Xiao Long's' memories were restored, it had been working for the owner of this voice.

Rienta.

A man who is ridiculously strong.

Even its strongest form after absorbing the eight great demonic energies in its previous life as the 'Demon Xiao Long', is completely incomparable to this.

However, it refused to accept this.

Before I regained my memories of my past life, it didn't matter if I did things for you.

But I've already regained my memories, so what's the point of me having to listen to you?

Moreover, it's as a so-called 'limited-time Dungeon boss'.

What does Rienta think it is?!

At that moment, a memory suddenly resurfaced in Heiterge's mind as he grew increasingly furious.

Strangely enough...

In this memory fragment.

Its name is -- Shendu.

After a brief discussion, the four members of Rienta rushed towards Heiterge, who was standing still.

Frieren made the first move, pointing her Staff at the dragon's head.

"[Hellfire]!"

Crimson flames erupted from the ground, completely engulfing the dragon's head.

Did they cast the wrong spell?

Rienta glanced at the black flames that filled the canyon and fell into deep thought.

[Fire Demon] Dungeon.

Black flames spread throughout the canyon.

Defensive Magic in the shape of a dragon's head, composed of black flames.

His torrent of swords and blades, which he had been gathering power for so long, only managed to break through most of it.

In this situation, should we still choose to start with fire magic?

Lady Frieren?

To his surprise, the dragon's head, composed of black flames, began to turn crimson the moment it came into contact with the [Hellfire] released by Frieren.

Frieren glanced at the dumbfounded Rienta.

He didn't explain that he had started analyzing the black flames covering the entire canyon beforehand.

He chuckled softly and said:

"Rienta, how can you possibly inflict effective damage by using swords to cut through flames?"

The black dragon head lasted only three seconds in the [Hellfire] before turning completely crimson.

With a long roar, the crimson dragon head spiraled upwards along the pillar of fire that shot into the sky from the [Hellfire].

It then charged toward Heiterge, who was in the center of the [Hellfire].

Boom!

Just then...

Two overlapping sounds emanated from the flames.

"You brat, how dare you presume to use fire to fight the [Fire Demon]?"
