War Against Isata

Before long, after Charles returned to Millstone Fortress,

all the Greater Demons under his command gathered together.

Charles sat upon the throne in the great hall.

Scorchflame crouched at his side, its vertical pupils fixed on the many Greater Demons below.

In particular, its gaze settled upon the Demon Lord Dorkas.

Dorkas was a fifth-rank existence, and so was Scorchflame.

Moreover, Scorchflame was Charles's soul companion. It could wield the sorcery Charles cast and control Charles's wizard tower.

Its strength was formidable.

Charles said, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Scorchflame, my soul companion."

"From today onward, besides obeying my orders, you must also obey Scorchflame's commands!"

The Flame Ratmen led by Bruce immediately dropped to one knee and shouted, "Greetings, Lord Scorchflame!"

The remaining Greater Demons did not react at first, but they soon followed suit and fell to their knees.

Dorkas did not dare hesitate either and promptly knelt on the ground.

Charles said, "I have also told Scorchflame your true names. From now on, do not anger Scorchflame, or you may not have a good outcome."

At those words, Zarlos, Dorkas, Kaseron, and the others all felt their hearts tighten.

After delegating his authority to Scorchflame, Charles did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he remained in Millstone Fortress, allowing the Greater Demons to grow accustomed to Scorchflame's presence.

During this period, Scorchflame kept appearing throughout Millstone Fortress. One day, Charles even had Scorchflame fly away in the wizard tower.

All of this fell into the eyes of the Greater Demons.

Zarlos lay in the lava within the volcanic crater and thought to himself, I'm truly convinced!

That damned Magic Beast can really pilot Charles's wizard tower!

Does that make any sense?! Why is everyone stronger than me?!

Seeing this, Dorkas also reined in his little schemes.
