After Solam returned to the Sixth Pyre, he was sent directly into the lava lake within the throne chamber. There, he could rely on the power of the molten core to recover from his injuries. The mortal slaves who had returned to the Sixth Pyre with Solam were arranged by Sanguinius in a less harsh location, roughly a hundred kilometers underground from Doomsday Fortress. There were few lava flows there, and the temperature was fairly tolerable, around thirty degrees. It was a little stifling, but at least the heat would not kill anyone.
Once everything had been settled, the entire Sixth Pyre was sealed off.
This kept many demon spies interested in Solam outside. The Sixth Pyre had never been a bustling place to begin with, and few outside demons came here. As long as they controlled the River Styx port, it was difficult for anyone to enter this plane.
Yet that still could not stop others from taking an interest in Solam.
Such as Lanaya, or Xianna.
This time, Malcanthet had sent Xianna to the Sixth Pyre. Malcanthet needed to know Solam's attitude and exact circumstances before deciding how to handle her relationship with him.
Lanaya, meanwhile, had no such complicated agenda. What she needed to do now was restore her intimate relationship with Solam! The strength Solam had displayed after awakening had completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including Lanaya's and those of Shami-Amour behind her.
At first, they had merely regarded Solam as a shield and a stepping stone. He had never been an important part of Shami-Amour's plans. His purpose was to serve as a sacrifice when necessary.
But events had developed far beyond everyone's imagination. That sacrificial pawn had begun to show his edge, and he was overwhelmingly formidable.
First, he had killed Kostchtchie, Lord of Wrath.
