Saine commanded the Azure Source Holy Tower’s forces and allied legions in a brutal battle against the Wild Gorilla Clan, using undead and plant creatures as the first waves while directing magicians’ fire. After three days of fighting, with heavy losses and threats striking the command area, Saine sent Lina and Sanchez to reinforce a gap in the Fire Melt Mountain Knights’ Hall’s line.

• The Earth Dragon reinforcements spread across the junction, allowing the exhausted Azure Source Holy Tower and Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall forces to rest.

Saine and his allies fought through the chaotic opening months of the Wizard World's invasion of the Wild Gorilla World, rescuing the Spiked Green Mushroom King from being used as cannon fodder. After the armies regrouped, Saine returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower's temporary base with a much-diminished legion and prepared to report his battlefield achievements.

The chapter ended as Saine saw a vast Magic Beast Army led by five enormous Kings of Magic Beasts entering the Wild Gorilla World.

• Archimedes showed Saine more than three million Magic Beasts entering the Wild Gorilla World, led by Mo Yan, three Kings of Magic Beasts Saine recognized, and an unfamiliar giant squid.

Saine and Tourmaline joined the battle near the Fire Kite Mountain Range, where the Azure Source Holy Tower helped the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall rout the enemy. Afterward, Saine focused on a new idea for transforming his Fire Element Power to break through to Level 3, inspired by the volcano's unusual azure magma.

• Saine rode atop Tourmaline as she rallied the Sea Folk Legion with an aura that strengthened their morale and affinity for Water Elements.
• Saine arrived at the Fire Kite Mountain Range and saw that Wild Gorilla World's forces had been replaced largely by subordinate and coerced legions after the gorilla legions suffered heavy losses.
• Saine recognized the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall by its Black Skin Dwarf slave legion and sent the Azure Source Holy Tower's hundreds of thousands of troops to support it.
• Tourmaline and a Level-4 giant squid helped break the enemy's resistance, and the arrival of millions of magical beasts later turned the battle into a pursuit and slaughter.
• Saine stayed in an alchemy tent on Tourmaline's shell to consider whether fusing Azure Blaze, Undying Purple Flame, and the volcano's azure magma flame could help him achieve a qualitative transformation and reach Level 3.

Saine spent three months researching the Blue Fire in his volcanic laboratory while the Wizard World army secured the Fire Kite Mountain Range. After Serena reported that the war had temporarily ended and the Holy Tower wanted him to help oversee the region’s postwar cleanup, Saine went to inspect it.

• Saine studied the Blue Fire and found that it decomposed metals effectively, then considered seeking unusual flame seeds through the Wizard Alliance.
• Saine learned that Nataya had returned from battle badly injured and had later made an embarrassing remark about him in front of Lunna.

• Saine learned that the region held valuable mineral deposits and more than ten million surviving native creatures who could be enslaved or put to work.
• Saine asked Serena to go outside with him and inspect the area.

Saine inspected a settlement in the Fire Kite Mountain Range, where the Azure Source Holy Tower’s forces had gathered tens of thousands of native creatures amid the aftermath of war. He left after urging Eri to minimize losses so the survivors could later be sold as slaves.

• Saine flew over the Fire Kite Mountain Range and saw that millions of magic beasts had eaten most of the battlefield’s remains.
• Saine arrived at a settlement of low stone houses with Serena and nearly a thousand Plant Creatures.
• Eri told Saine that around thirty thousand native creatures lived in the settlement, while another forty thousand lived nearby under the Fire Melt Mountain Knights' Hall.
• Eri explained that the natives survived on volcanic moss and underground water, and that magic beasts had reduced the settlement’s population from roughly one hundred thousand.
• Saine told Eri to reduce daily losses because the Wild Gorillas could become valuable exports for the Azure Source Holy Tower.
• Eri revealed that only around three thousand residents were purebred Wild Gorillas and asked what the Sub-Ape species might be worth; Saine encouraged him to work hard.
