Chapter Summaries

Saine and Magician Irene discussed their different assignments in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, and Saine warned her that its inhabitants resisted fire magic. After a new combat mission sent them in separate directions, Saine’s group traveled east toward the dangerous Crimson Flame Magma River, where powerful Flame Creatures were gathered.

• Saine told Irene that he had fought two Level-1 Flame Creatures while patrolling the Black Volcano area, and Irene explained that she had been assigned to defend and build the fortress.

• The magicians heard rumors that Level-6 Magician Cuilisi had severely wounded the Poison Flame Demon King before it fell into the Magma Sea.

Saine and the Azure Source Holy Tower magicians joined the campaign at the Crimson Flame Magma River, where Azure Flame Holy Tower scouts reported a wounded Red Blade Lizard King was hiding. After the magicians laid magical restrictions that cooled the river, a huge shadow burst from its depths.

• Saine and the Azure Source Holy Tower magicians arrived at the Crimson Flame Magma River with nearly three thousand specialized Fire Element slave creatures.

• The Azure Source Holy Tower magicians studied the area and laid magical restrictions around the Crimson Flame Magma River.
• Two days later, Chain Explosions cooled the river and spread black rock through it, prompting a roar and the emergence of a jet-black shadow over thirty meters long.

Saine and the Azure Source Holy Tower forces fought the Flame Creatures driven to the surface of the Crimson Flame Magma River, while two Third-Level Great Magicians confronted the Red Blade Lizard King. Saine lost the Flame Beetle he had weakened to another magician, then attacked a different creature from behind.

After returning to the Azure Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress, Saine spent months researching Azure Fire Magic and improving his fire spells. Luluenman eventually remembered her absent disciple as the Wizard World’s invasion continued to overwhelm the defenders.

• Saine submitted his completed war missions and earned more than a hundred Magic Coins.
• Saine returned to his fortress laboratory and began incorporating Azure Fire characteristics into his fire-element spells using the Azure Glaze and Luluenman’s research notes.
• Saine became absorbed in his experiments, improving his spells and probing the deeper mysteries of Azure Fire Magic for several months.
• Luluenman realized Saine had been away from the war effort for months, but the four Holy Towers’ forces had ample personnel and had not sent him a mandatory War Summons.
• Gagaru defeated Poison Flame Demon King Anruida again in a battle north of the central Magma Sea, reinforcing the Wizard World’s advantage in the war.

Luluenman checked on Saine’s research and cleared his mission information so he could focus on studying Azure Fire Magic. Meanwhile, Anruida, cornered by the Wizard Civilization’s forces, threatened to destroy the world’s volcanoes, prompting its mysterious allies to act ahead of schedule.

• Luluenman watched Saine study Azure Fire Body Tempering and reflected that she could not teach him Azure Fire Magic.
• Luluenman erased Saine’s registered Crystal Ball information to spare him mandatory war missions and let him focus on research.
• Luluenman continued managing the fortress while Gagaru and Pinas concentrated on hunting Anruida.
• Anruida, wounded and trapped in the Magma Sea, threatened to detonate the volcanoes and destroy the Poison Fire Green Flame World along with the Wizard Civilization’s Construct Armors.
• The yellow-skinned humanoids on the green metal screen agreed to act ahead of schedule and hoped the Wizard World’s Level-6 Creature had already departed.

The chapter explains how Poison Flame Demon King Anruida used the Nesser Civilization’s construct waste to advance from Level 4 to Level 5, while the waste damaged the Poison Fire Green Flame World and its native life. The disposal agreement ended after the Nesser Civilization recognized the plane’s growing burden, and the ongoing war with the Wizard Civilization later left the arrangement forgotten.

• Poison Flame Demon King Anruida contacted the Nesser Civilization and agreed to let it dump construct waste in the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
• Anruida used the waste’s interaction with the plane’s fire magma to strengthen his poison, fire, and smoke laws and advance from Level 4 to Level 5.
• The dumped waste altered the plane’s environment, driving native tribes to extinction or mutation while Anruida also received Energy Crystals as payment.
• Nesser Construct Masters studied Anruida and later ended the disposal agreement so the Poison Fire Green Flame World could recover.
• After ten thousand years, the Nesser Civilization’s war with the Wizard Civilization had become so dire that it no longer considered resuming waste disposal.

Poison Flame Demon King Anruida watched Nesser forces uncover a vast stockpile of Constructed Magic Puppets and prepare to fight the Wizard Civilization. After more than two years of research, Saine achieved Minor Body Tempering Accomplishment with Azure Fire Magic, but a violent tremor interrupted him as he checked on Owl Little Qi.

• Nesser Civilization authorities revealed that the Poison Fire Green Flame World hid millions of Constructed Magic Puppets and debated how to use them against the Wizard Civilization.
• The Nesser authorities chose to fight, while Construct Master Ande insisted on joining the counterattack and returning to the Nesser World.

• Saine found that his body accommodated Azure Fire Power unusually well and wondered whether the Light of the Planes was responsible.
• A rumbling shook the Space Fortress and made Saine stumble as he was about to check Owl Little Qi's evolution.

After leaving his laboratory, Saine found Little Seven undergoing a major transformation and placed it in the Cultivation Room before heading into the Space Fortress’s battle. He joined a combat platform as hundreds of thousands of Constructed Magic Puppets attacked the fortress.

• Saine found Little Seven curled outside his laboratory, its Magic Core radiating energy as it approached a transformation and advancement.
• Saine placed Little Seven in the Cultivation Room with high-level wind-element Energy Crystals, then left to investigate the battle shaking the fortress.
• Saine saw Constructed Magic Puppets attacking the Space Fortress and flew to a nearby Combat Zone.
• A Second-Level Magician assigned Saine to Combat Platform Number Three and told him to focus on fire-element magic.
• Saine reached the platform, where more than a hundred Magicians were casting fire-element spells against the attackers.

Saine tested his Azure Fire Magic against the Construct Golem Legion from a combat platform inside the space fortress, destroying a powerful puppet and recording the spell’s performance. The fortress came under heavy attack, and a suicidal assault destroyed towers on its southern side, opening a breach for the enemy.

• Saine used Azure Blaze Hand to pursue and destroy a constructed magic puppet, earning a potential reward of 10 Magic Coins.
• Nearby magicians recognized Saine’s Azure Fire Magic and speculated about his place in Cuilisi’s lineage.

• A high-yield explosion destroyed a gigantic magic tower and more than ten smaller towers on the fortress’s southern side.
• Saine saw constructed magic puppets and native fire-element creatures surge through the breach toward the Fortress Main Base.

Saine left the Space Fortress with a force of mages to reinforce the breached southern defenses of the base. After the group received orders to retake the breach and hold it for five hours, they flew into the turbulent battlefield.

• A Second-Level Magician called for mages with at least 70% of their magic power and Mental Strength to reinforce the base below.
• Saine joined the volunteers, choosing to fight because he believed the Wizard Civilization's defenses remained strong and he could contribute safely.
• The Second-Level Magician led the growing group through the fortress to a circular hatch, where a Third-Level Great Magician assigned them to retake the southern breach and hold it for five hours.
• The hatch opened, and Saine and the other mages flew out of the fortress into powerful energy shockwaves.
• Saine cast two Magic Shields and an acceleration spell, then followed the Third-Level Great Magician toward the southern section of the base.

Saine joined the Wizard World's desperate defense of the southern breach in the Fortress Main Base, where Nesser constructs and native flame creatures pressed against their lines. As the breach remained open, Level-4 Magician Luluenman unleashed her power from the Space Fortress.

• Saine flew into the southern battlefield and saw the Wizard World forces struggling to contain the breach against Nesser constructs and flame creatures.
• Saine joined thousands of magicians and tens of thousands of slave creatures defending the base, and he recognized plant creatures that reminded him of Luluenman and recalled his Green Source Seeds.
• Luluenman watched the southern breach remain unsealed and worried that the main base and Space Fortress could not afford losses while her mentor was away.
• Luluenman released an emerald-green pillar of light that caused damaged Nesser puppets to fall and frightened the native flame creatures.

Luluenman and the Nesser Civilization’s Level-4 Constructed Magic Puppet entered the fortress battle, while green energy transformed the Plant Creatures into barriers against the invading Flame Creatures. Luluenman confronted the puppet’s young pilot, Ande, and the chapter explained how the Nesser Civilization’s rare Construct Masters controlled its powerful puppet legions.

• Luluenman learned that Ande had trained at the Nord Construct Laboratory and noted that he was only a little over a thousand years old.
• The chapter described how Nesser Construct Masters directly piloted or remotely controlled their puppets, with most of the invading legion operating unmanned.

Luluenman began casting a Forbidden Spell to destroy the forces surrounding the Wizard Civilization’s Fortress Main Base, drawing Ande’s Constructed Magic Puppet toward her. As the spell’s power gathered, Saine and the defenders held a breach in the southern front while the Flame Creatures began to flee.

• Luluenman assessed Ande’s blue Level-4 Constructed Magic Puppet and relied on the Azure Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress and its cannons for support.
• Luluenman charged toward the Construct Golem Legion in the form of a green Light Giant and began chanting a Forbidden Spell.
• Ande flew forward to stop Luluenman from completing the spell, knowing magicians were vulnerable while casting Forbidden Spells.
• Saine activated more than ten Green Source Seeds, and his Plant Creatures helped the defenders stabilize a breach in the southern front.
• The Construct Golem Legion focused on Luluenman, while the native Flame Creatures began fleeing without Anruida directing them.

• Saine sent his giant Plant Creature and other allies to attack the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet while he fought it with Azure Fire and Sun's Eye Magic.

• Luluenman’s forbidden spell brought emerald elemental rain across the battlefield, and massive Green Vines burst from the ground to strangle enemy forces.
• The rain caused Saine’s Plant Creatures to grow rapidly, though their roots began to crack under the strain.
• With the vines binding the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet, Saine ordered his Plant Creatures to kill it as the Sea of Vines overwhelmed the enemy forces.

Luluenman’s Forest Wrath transformed the battle around the Fortress Main Base, turning the tide in favor of the Wizard Civilization Legion. Saine used the spell’s power to overwhelm the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet and pulled a female humanoid creature from its chest.

• The strengthened Plant Creatures under Saine’s command destroyed enemy puppets and slave forces as the Wizard Civilization Legion’s counteroffensive gained momentum.
• Saine’s Plant Creatures restrained the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet while he attacked it with magic.
• A giant Plant Creature crushed the puppet’s metal head, and Saine’s vines dragged a female humanoid creature from its chest.

Saine captured an injured Nesser Civilization Construct Master and collected spoils from the battlefield as the fighting around the Fortress Main Base continued. Over the following months, reinforcements and victories on other fronts turned the Wizard World Legion’s defense into a counteroffensive, while the Nesser Civilization’s puppets and hidden resources promised further spoils.

• Saine bound the unconscious Nesser Civilization Construct Master and stored her damaged Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet, then collected puppet parts and valuable Flame Creature remains.
• The fighting near the Fortress Main Base continued for more than two months after Saine joined the battle.

• The Wizard World Legion gained the advantage, though the Construct Golem Legions delayed the capture of the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
• Magicians realized that the Nesser Civilization's hidden strategic warehouses could provide valuable resources alongside the recovered Constructed Magic Puppets.

As the battle around the Fortress Main Base ended, Saine patrolled the western battlefield despite serious injuries and worried about his mentor, Luluenman. After the base approved a month of recuperation, Saine headed back with the captured Construct Master in tow.

• Rain from the Holy Tower Master revived the battlefield’s plants and deepened the native creatures’ fear of the region.
• Saine watched for signs of the distant battle between Luluenman and the Level-4 Constructed Magic Puppet before resuming patrol duty.
