Charles nodded slightly. "There is some good news. From now on, our business can expand a little further."
At those words, smiles spread across the faces of the many wizard sages.
Noah laughed. "Today, we've run into two pieces of good news!"
"Sage Charles, let's go up and discuss this in detail."
Charles nodded slightly as well.
He then glanced toward the foot of the mountain.
When he had just returned to Isata, he had clearly sensed a fluctuation below that shared the same origin.
Now that he was going up to speak in detail with Noah and the other wizard sages, he had no time to go down.
But though he could not go down himself, Scorchflame was still idle.
So, through spiritual power, he informed Scorchflame and arranged for him to handle the matter.
Then he followed Noah and the others, teleporting to the top level of Isata.
Scorchflame had originally been honestly coiled beside the Abyss Gate.
Scorchflame was now a fifth-rank soul companion, and his strength was exceedingly formidable.
At this moment, his body was enormous, more than fifty meters long.
He had originally been a drake, bearing many traits of a Red Dragon.
But as Charles's strength continued to rise, many demonic traits had also emerged upon Scorchflame's body.
Combined with the power he drew from Charles, Scorchflame's body had become increasingly powerful.
At this moment, a pair of enormous demon horns curved backward from Scorchflame's head.
When his massive wings spread, they spanned nearly a hundred meters.
His hind legs, once merely a tiny pair, had now fully grown out as well.
Yet Scorchflame's form differed from that of a Red Dragon.
His body was more slender and elongated, more like some kind of Feathered Serpent.
But that did not hinder his power.
