The Embers of the Burned Emperor's Plot

"Long time no see, Misha."

A deep male voice came from the top of the altar.

Misha's eyes sparkled, her golden pupils gleaming with excitement, and her delicate face radiated intense emotion.

"It's Your Majesty!"

She called out softly with delight.

However, Misha suppressed her excitement and joy, descended from mid-air, bowed slightly according to imperial etiquette, and climbed the steps one by one.

We're finally getting into the main storyline!

Next comes the audience with the emperor to be promoted to Dragon Pact Sorcerer!

Xia Ye Qiuyu thought to himself.

The three players quickly turned around and followed closely behind Misha.

But they still couldn't help but look up curiously.

At the end of the long staircase, at the very top of the altar, stood a tall throne carved with Dragon Mark.

On that throne, the man wore a crimson robe and a jeweled gold crown. He had a handsome face and deep, pale gold vertical pupils.

He simply sat casually on the throne, resting his chin on his hand, and the unintentional aura of power he exuded made people want to worship him.

—This is the human form of Keosius.

The moment he appeared before people, it was as if the whole world was focused on him, and everything revolved around him.

It was as if a god had descended to earth.

Misha was stunned for a moment.

Even the players were stunned by this aura and stood rooted to the spot.

With the combined benefits of [Extraordinary Charisma] and [Imperial Authority Supreme], Keosius's influence on the outside world can reach such a level.

"In addition, you are also welcome, Starfallers who have passed the trials, the future Dragon Pact Sorcerer of the Empire."

"Keosius said with a smile."

He suppressed his overwhelming aura, looked at the players who had passed the trial, and nodded slightly.

Keosius had expected thirteen people to pass, but he did not expect Misha's trial to be so rigorous that only three people passed.

Xia Ye Qiuyu, art is an explosion, Love Dragons Like the Wind —these are all names that resonated in my past life.

The first two are top-tier professional Sorcerer players, needless to say. However, the last one left Keosius speechless.

Although this "Love Dragons Like the Wind" is quite powerful, his main reputation comes from another aspect.

"His Majesty has become even more powerful!"

Misha's heart pounded, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Keosius's face, but she was overjoyed inside.

Since her journey to the Fire Elemental Plane for training, she had not seen His Majesty for a long time, and had not even been able to attend the grand coronation ceremony—which made her feel quite disappointed at the time.

But now, she has finally been given another Opportunity for an Audience.

"So handsome!"

"How can there be such a perfect model? And the aura it exudes is simply amazing."

Xia Ye Qiuyu was also muttering to herself. She had just recovered from being "controlled" and was cautiously glancing at the scene out of the corner of her eye.

"Very good!"

"With the Dragon Pact Sorcerer's high-temperature flames, we can finally help the guild's top players smelt Aluminum Alloy Mecha!"

Art is Explosion of excitement.

Although Love Dragons Like the Wind was somewhat excited, he also felt a strange sense of loss.

"Why isn't it a dragon's body?"

"Damn it, I really want to touch Lord Keosius's tail."

Keosius gazed at Misha, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and saw the words "Challenge Rating: 14" above her head, and felt a pang of emotion.

No wonder he was the boss in his previous life; his talent is simply terrifying.

In just one year, her strength skyrocketed, and Keosius even received outrageous rumors circulating in the Elemental Plane about the "Dragonfire Daughter."

According to those rumors, Misha was the child of "Embers of the Burned Emperor" Keosius and a Fire Giant Noble.

Thinking of this, Keosius chuckled and said:

"Misha, you have made great progress, even beyond my expectations. In just one year, you have reached this level."

"Your Majesty, this is all thanks to your grace."

Hearing Keosius's praise, Misha was quite excited, but she still lowered her head and answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this conversation, the three players were immediately shocked.

What?! A whole year!

In other words, Misha became Dragon Pact Sorcerer much earlier than they became Sorcerer in Erezege!

In just one year, Misha has become an absolute boss-level existence capable of wiping out dozens of elite players and taming the Fire Elemental Elder! Just how strong is this sub-class of the faction?

However, they were unaware that in this short year, the Embers of the Burned Empire had poured terrifying amounts of resources into Misha, showering her with all sorts of Fire Elemental crystals, Spell Scroll, and elixirs as if they were free.

"This still doesn't scare you?" Keosius's lips curled into a smile as he looked at the three players with their different expressions.

He delivered his prepared lines in a solemn tone.

"Starfallers, you have completed the trials of the Karma Fire Tower, proving to me your strength and loyalty."

"Therefore, I will bestow upon you the power of the True Dragon."

Keosius casually raised his hand.

"Like this."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, raging flames, endless seas of fire, falling meteors, and even scorching celestial bodies appeared before their eyes, creating a series of scenes of natural disasters in the sky.

The army was destroyed.

The city was burned to the ground.

Rivers dried up, and the earth cracked.

The players present heard a deafening roar, the sound of buildings collapsing, and even the cries of the crowd.

"A dragon! It's a dragon!"

Someone was shouting loudly.

However, Keosius's voice, amidst the noise, sounded exceptionally clear.

"Natural disaster."

"Reverence all this, for this is the power I, as the Emperor of the Embers of the Burned Empire, can bestow upon you—power that can bring both destruction and rebirth."

"But every power has its necessary price, and you need to exercise restraint and control it."

Keosius clenched his fist.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Those flames and those shooting stars were like illusory bubbles, vanishing in an instant.

The blazing celestial bodies also dimmed and blurred.

The scene of that catastrophe seemed never to have occurred; the altar of Istaria returned to its former solemnity and tranquility, and the sound of flowing water could still be heard.

"This"

The three players were so shocked that their Big Mouth, and they were speechless.

This level of spectacle.

Is this truly something an individual can achieve? On the throne, the black-haired, golden-eyed man lowered his hand and sighed, saying:

"The sun slumbers, stars fall, moonlight dims, and endless war burns across the Feanso Continent. Bloodshed and slaughter will become the main theme of Erezege. This world is undergoing dramatic changes, and the peace of the Embers of the Burned Empire will not last forever."

"In order to cope with the impending disaster, the Embers of the Burned Empire needs more powerful individuals to exercise my will and bring this world back to a truly rational order."

Keosius watched the three players.

A faint light flickered in those pale golden pupils.

"And you, the Starfallers, you are qualified to be my agents, the Head Sorcerer of the Empire, the Dragon Pact Sorcerer."

So—are you all ready?
