How About Some Frenzied Flame?

"Want some Frenzied Flame?"

The ancient voice sounded ethereal and melodious against the backdrop of the deep cave. The hot wind combined with the voice, adding to its mystery, as if a demon from hell was about to climb into the human world, its voice full of malice.

However, beyond this malice, there seems to be something truly bizarre and perplexing.

Along with the sound, what appeared in Qiao Ke La's senses was the face of a pale, emaciated old man peeking out from the darkness!

"Ouch!"

Even though she was usually calm and collected, she couldn't help but scream at this moment. She swung her staff and slammed it hard into the face that looked like a ghost but hadn't been blurred. She scrambled backward on her hands and feet to get away from the cave entrance, and even reached out to tug at Sai Ke.

Sai Ke was enthusiastically setting up the trap when she pulled him backward. Before he could ask what had happened to make her scream, a towering flame suddenly shot out from the cave entrance!

The flames shot straight into the sky, clearly visible even from a distance, almost grazing the Sai Ke they were emitted; the terrifyingly high temperature was chilling.

Even Sai Ke was stunned by this. If Qiao Ke La hadn't pulled him back just now, he probably would be a roasted head by now.

From within the flames, a swaying, gaunt body suddenly leaped out. Upon closer inspection, Sai Ke was astonished to find that it was a strange, naked old man!

The strange old man reached out his hand to him, seemingly wanting to ask something, but the next second he was hit in the face by an ice spike. The powerful impact sent him flying backward, and he fell back into the cave.

"No, this guy is a demon!" Qiao Ke La, panting, gripped her magic staff and shouted to Sai Ke, "Don't just stand there, run!"

That strange old man did indeed possess many inhuman characteristics, not to mention the obvious evil aura emanating from him. What else could he be but a demon?

"They're here!"

Sai Ke didn't say anything boastful about defeating his opponent. He was a passionate young man, but he wouldn't act rashly. According to the official propaganda, any random demon was as strong as a Silver Rank adventurer, and it also had unpredictable abilities and strong physical qualities. He dared not challenge his opponent rashly.

The reason why the Farron Guard can hunt down demons as easily as cutting melons is because they are Farron Guard, and their strength is something that random adventurers cannot match!

"Go back and report to the lord, and ask him to send men to annihilate the demons." Almost the instant they met, the two made up their minds and ran out of the city.

But how could that strange old man-like demon let them have their way? With the flames erupting again, the demon, his body wreathed in flames, pounced on them on all fours. His speed far surpassed that of a cheetah, and he caught up with them in the blink of an eye!

Sai Ke and Qiao Ke La used their Shattered Step simultaneously, finally putting their hard training over the past few days to good use. Just as they were about to be tackled, the two successfully dodged.

However, the demons blocked their path.

"You two, do you know about Frenzied Flame?" the demon asked, scratching at the flames on his body.

Before anyone could answer, he said to himself, as if answering his own question, "Yes, you couldn't possibly know. Even I don't know, so how could you possibly know?"

"This guy's not quite right in the head." Sai Ke drew his weapon and pointed it at him.

"Don't linger, let's find a chance to leave," Qiao Ke La whispered. She waved her magic wand at the sky, and birdsong immediately emanated from it. This was the magic [Summon Bird Technique], which could summon a creature like a giant eagle to take the caster away.

The demon was too fast on the ground, so she thought of using her aerial advantage to escape as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the summoned creature turned out to be a large eagle, which looked like it could support the weight of two people. Qiao Ke La was delighted, and just then the eagle let out a cry.

The eagle's cry was particularly clear under the open sky, but to this demon, the sound was rather jarring.

Eagle?

The shout was like a bomb, shocking his previously chaotic mind. The face of a handsome man with a White Eagle -like appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, bringing him to a brief moment of clarity!

Dorian remembered who he was.

He was originally sent by Priestess Ounuo La to collect information about the Fallen Devil Egg of the Different Colors and the Abyss!

He has now completed two tasks: handing the heterochromatic Fallen Devil Egg to Iliphis to test its power and searching for all information related to the Abyss.

Not only did he collect the power of the Fallen Devil Egg of the Different Colors, but he also found places like Farron Keep and the Catacombs of Carthus that were absolutely connected to the Abyss. He even obtained bodily tissues such as the blood of the Hero Elsa. All of this was enough to satisfy his mission.

He needs to hurry back to report and then enjoy his retirement.

But why am I here?

He tried hard to recall the series of events that had happened to him since he came to the human world: being attacked by the Farron Guard, meeting up with Iliphis, guarding Elsa, and then Iliphis using the Fallen Devil Egg the Other Color to destroy the kingdom.

"Oh right, that's when I saw something I shouldn't have seen."

The moment the words "things I shouldn't have seen" pop into my head, a yellow flame immediately ignites in front of my eyes—a frenzied and eerie fire.

In that single glance, his clear thinking vanished without a trace!

"I want to go home, no!" Dorian's body trembled, looking extremely pained, but just a moment later, a smile spread across his face.

"Hehe, let's get this Frenzied Flame!"

His body burst into flames once more. Although they were just ordinary flames, with a wave of his hand, they transformed into a fiery Mystical Space Typhoon that entangled the giant eagle in the sky. The poor creature cried out as it fell to the ground, causing Qiao Ke La's spirits to plummet.

I've never heard of demons using magic!

So what's the deal with these flames?

"I don't know what's going on, but I really want to burn something!"

Dorian appeared to be insane, his eyes fixed on Qiao Ke La, filled with chaos.

But at that moment, taking advantage of his complete lapse in defense, Sai Ke angrily gripped his Greatsword and unleashed a move called [Lion Slash]!

Although he had been practicing his Shattered Step these past few days, he also spent precious Lion Slash from Beinal. Both its power and proficiency now surpass his former self.

The results of this well-trained Lion Slash were evident on Dorian. In the blink of an eye, his emaciated body was cleaved with a severe wound extending from his shoulder to his side, with only a layer of skin still connecting them!

Sai Ke himself was surprised. When did the power of his move become so strong?

Could it be that I am actually a martial arts genius, one in a century?

However, the next moment, all that could be heard was the sound of flesh writhing. Dorian's flesh and blood glued the severe wound back together on its own, and the injury was quickly healed. In just one or two seconds, it was completely restored, and no trace of the injury could be seen.

The restored flesh squeezed the Greatsword inside as well, and Sai Ke couldn't pull it out for a while!

It turns out he wasn't a martial arts genius, but rather that Dorian had focused all his talent on recovery and didn't care about physical strength at all.

"Bang!" He kicked Seco, sending Sai Ke flying backward, the accompanying flames even causing burns to Seco.

"[Ice Cone Drop]!"

As Qiao Ke La chanted, sharp ice spikes of all sizes suddenly formed on Dorian's body. However, before they even hit the ground, many of them were melted by the flames on his body. When they finally landed on him, they only left deep pits that could be repaired at any time.

Undeterred, Qiao Ke La continued to use her magic, unleashing ice spikes, Ice Ball, and Ice Mist. The flames on Dorian's body weakened somewhat, but his expression remained unchanged. He walked steadily towards her, extending claws that resembled those of a monster.

"If we burn more things, will it be more in line with the description of Frenzied Flame '?"

"What Frenzied Flame about Frenzied Flame," Qiao Ke La said, sweat beading on her forehead, but with a knowing look on her face. "Take a look at your own feet first!"

Xyz of Ice Pillar suddenly erupted beneath Dorian, piercing his body in the blink of an eye and imprisoning him firmly!

The ice magic that Qiao Ke La previously unleashed had been burned into water, accumulating in puddles on the ground, which could now be put to good use.

Sai Ke also drew another longsword and unleashed a Storm Blade at Dorian with all his might.

The sounds of Ice Pillar shattering and flesh breaking rang out simultaneously, but neither of them had time to check the results of their attack before turning and running away.

"We definitely can't kill him this time, let's go back and get help!"

"That's right!"

Where are you going?

A nightmarish voice suddenly came from behind them, and both of them felt as if their hearts and lungs had stopped.

"Thump!"

After a muffled thud, Sai Ke and Qiao Ke La were knocked to the ground. Dorian's fist, still sticking out of ice, slammed down on Sai Ke. The latter gripped the dagger at his waist, and his body was immediately pulled into Shattered Step.

"Ah!"

His shoulder was hit so hard that his bones shattered, but at least he managed to avoid it.

"You're hiding interestingly, hehe."

Two extra arms suddenly extended from Dorian's back, attacking Sai Ke and Qiao Ke La simultaneously. The two endured the pain and dodged earnestly. Although they were occasionally hit, they were always able to avoid vital points.

At this moment, the two couldn't help but feel that learning the Shattered Step technique was truly a life-saving skill, no matter the situation.

If they could train a bit more, they might be able to dodge it without getting hurt.

Learning Weapon Skill has enabled two adventurers who might have been instantly killed by Dorian to be able to hold their own against a powerful enemy for a while, which is a huge improvement!

Dorian, whose mental state was already unstable, became somewhat impatient. More arms sprouted from his back, and in the blink of an eye, he became a three-headed, six-armed being. Each limb was even covered in flames, and the sudden increase in attack speed left the two completely unable to defend themselves.

"Damn it, I can't hold on much longer!" Sai Ke thought anxiously.

Just then, a strange roar came from afar, followed by the heavy sound of running.

Everyone present looked over and their eyes widened.

The newcomer was a full three meters tall, with muscles so developed they resembled a small mountain. Its back had a shell like a crab's, its arms were like claws of a tiger, and its head had the air of an owl.

Without a doubt, this is yet another demon!

Despair was evident in the eyes of Secco and Qiao Ke La; they Sai Ke n't even defeat one of them, and now another one had appeared.

The demon also noticed the situation and finally let out a roar, then...

He punched Dorian in the face!

"Huh?"
