Trial-Taker of the Karma Fire Tower

Anzeta Great Wasteland, Baras Volcano.

Located in the eastern part of the Empire, this is the most active place for Fire Elemental in all of Anzeta —because there is a frequently erupting active volcano here.

Every few years, the Baras Volcano erupts large amounts of rocks, volcanic ash, and pumice, and flows down rivers of lava, which is known by the surrounding residents as "the Wrath of the Fire God".

No one dares to, and no one can, live here. The Red Dragon once considered using it as a dwelling place, but abandoned the option due to the need to develop its retinue.

The main inhabitants here are also fire-attribute monsters: Steam Demon Bat, Fire Lizard, Lava Stone Monster, and even Fire Elemental elementals from the Inner Plane.

But now, a tower forged from lava has appeared atop Mount Balas, the residence of the sorceress Misha, known as the "Daughter of Dragonfire."

Karma Fire Tower.

Hell is the fire that burns sinners.

This also demonstrates Misha's determination to take revenge on Leo Bosk.

At the top of the tower, the surrounding air was distorted and filled with white smoke, with serpentine flames wandering freely, and a girl sat cross-legged in the center.

She looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her face was already quite beautiful. She had pointed ears on both sides of her cheeks, a pair of reddish-brown horns on her forehead, and her hair flowed like flames.

This is Misha now.

As an "Ifrit"—that is, Fire Elemental elemental—their appearance is linked to the energy they possess.

After receiving the power of fire from Keosius, Misha's growth accelerated considerably, and she now appears far more mature than her peers.

Suddenly, clusters of flames gathered together and transformed into a blurry human figure.

"Misha, Master"

"Outside. Humans"

This is a Fire Elemental Elder, which Misha encountered during her trials in the Fire Elemental Plane.

Originally, this Fire Elemental Elder wanted to devour Misha, but after a battle, it cried out in agony and begged for mercy, eventually signing a contract and becoming Misha's servant.

Misha slowly opened her eyes, and firelight flickered in her golden pupils.

"I didn't tell you."

"Please don't bother me during this time!"

Her voice grew increasingly intense, eventually transforming into a dragon's roar, which terrified the Fire Elemental Elder, causing sparks to fly from his body.

"Boom!"

The Fire Elemental Elder transformed into clusters of flowing flames, first begging for mercy, then fleeing in panic under Misha's angry gaze.

Please forgive my disrespect.

"Your Majesty Keosius."

Misha clasped her hands together and murmured to herself.

The tower houses a full-body dragon statue and a half-body human statue of Keosius, along with precious gold and jewels.

During this time, Misha first searched everywhere to wipe out the remnants of the Northern Nobles, and then went alone to the Fire Elemental Plane for training. She was no longer the strong girl she once was.

Now, she is more like a true "Ifrit".

Fire Elemental elementals are often people with distinct personalities—fierce and independent on one hand, and arrogant and difficult to please on the other.

However, when Fire Elemental genuinely worship a deity (usually related to fire), they can also display the side of a fanatical believer and devout follower.

Misha, in her past life, became insane and bloodthirsty due to her tragic experiences, vowing to burn all of humanity alive.

In this life, Misha has become a woman of strong likes and dislikes. She is ruthless and merciless towards the remnants of the the North, but she is devout and fervent towards the emperor who gave her a new life, making her a true believer.

Misha's anger towards the Fire Elemental Elder stemmed from its interference with her experience of the power bestowed upon her by Keosius.

If a player with sufficient skill is here, they will see this information—

[Dragonfire Daughter Misha]

Challenge Rating: 14 (11500xp)

Yes, thanks to the combined effects of her awakened personal talent and the power bestowed by Keosius, Misha's strength increased exponentially in just one year.

In terms of individual skill alone, this eleven-year-old Sorcerer is already among the empire's top tier.

Misha extended her slender hand, and instantly, wisps of flame gathered, gradually forming Magic Image in which hundreds of players appeared.

"The Starfallers?"

"His Your Majesty Keosius personally instructed me to select some of the strongest among them to become glorious Dragon Pact Sorcerer."

Misha frowned slightly as she watched the players looking around curiously.

"Does such a fellow truly deserve to be a relative of His Your Majesty Keosius and receive that supreme favor?"

It's important to understand that Dragon Pact Sorcerer are different from Red Scale Conqueror; they not only require bloodline modification but also need Keosius to personally infuse them with power.

Even Misha, as the master of the Karma Fire Tower, only received thirteen contracts.

Because these contracts concern the power of Keosius, she cherishes them greatly and only wants to find the best consorts for the emperor; she has not yet issued a single one.

Yes, Ifrit was a perfectionist to some extent.

"Anyway, the Starfallers didn't truly die. Perhaps... they need a real trial."

"Smack!"

Misha snapped her fingers crisply.

The surrounding flames began to flow again, coalescing into a blurry human figure, which was none other than the Fire Elemental Elder who had just fled in panic.

"Afar, come with me."

"I am the master"

The outer perimeter of Baras Volcano.

"Let's team up for the Dragon Pact Sorcerer quest!"

"No Wild Sorcerer!"

"I need a bottle of Heat Resistance Potion!"

"Holy crap, this place is interesting, it's similar to a real-life volcano."

Hundreds of players gathered here excitedly, amidst a noisy and bustling atmosphere.

Everywhere was blackish-gray lava and volcanic ash, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, with white gas escaping from the cracks in the rocks.

In the distance, lava flows slowly, emitting faint flames and bubbling as it rises.

"How amazing."

"Ouch—it's so hot!"

This was a novel experience for players who had never seen anything like it before, and some even recklessly stuck their hands into the lava, getting burned and screaming in pain.

They were all Sorcerer players who came after seeing the Imperial Announcement, all hoping to obtain the legendary high-level hidden class— Dragon Pact Sorcerer.

Such a grand event would naturally not be missed by Xia Ye Qiuyu, a professional player who specializes in Dragon Vein Sorcerer.

As a member of the "Five Fireball Divine Sect," she was particularly drawn to this profession that allowed her to freely unleash powerful fire spells.

After all, who wouldn't want to unleash a dozen or so fireballs in a row? Xia Ye Qiuyu raised her head and gazed quietly at the lava tower in the distance.

"Is this the Karma Fire Tower?"

"No matter what, I will become Dragon Pact Sorcerer."

She smiled slightly, her beautiful golden eyes revealing a fervent determination to succeed.
