"Lord Carnason, all the materials are ready. Just waiting for your order, the ceremony will begin!"
On the charred land, a harpy screamed.
The scalding heat flooded the land, and the harpy had to flap its wings at all times to prevent its claws from being burned by the ground.
"Bring the sacrifice here!"
In front of the Harpy, a Gorgon ordered loudly. Behind her, a thick tail dragged across the ground, leaving a trail of white smoke on the ground.
Upon receiving the command, the harpy let out a shriek, and the same shriek echoed in the distance.
Soon, several cavemen came forward slowly, escorting a female human whose hands were tied.
"Pure-blood human..." Looking at the person in front of him, Carnason licked his lips, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
The female human raised her head numbly, with no look in her eyes. The rough hemp rope had already cut her wrists to pieces.
"demon……"
She whispered absently, and all she got in exchange was a whipping blow, and there was a fresh blood mark on the back of the scars.
"Bring her to the altar." Carnason ordered.
The caveman did as he was told and tied her horizontally to a simple altar made of marble with a strong rope.
Without resistance, she recognized her fate, like a fish lying on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
"Don't be afraid, you will be reborn in the flames, and you will be accompanied by glory and power..."
Carnason came to the woman's side, gently brushed her cheek with his hand, and finally stopped at her forehead.
"God of fire in the depths of darkness, the first primordial fire of madness, I, Judge Carnarson Eddyus, offer you a pure sacrifice. Come, come on this pure body. let's go……"
Mysterious prayers with unknown meanings continued to come from Carnason's mouth.
Following Carnason's words, the woman's body continued to tremble, her lips pursed, and tears of fear streaked across the corners of her eyes.
"...Her eyes will serve as evidence for your consciousness to travel in the flames; her body will become your container, carrying the glory of the flames..."
Under the horrified gaze of the human woman, Carnason took out a ceremonial dagger.
With a flash of cold light, the human woman's vision went dark, followed by severe pain.
Blood splashed around the altar and stained the ground below. The pain caused her body to struggle continuously, and she let out a whimpering cry.
Carnason watched this scene indifferently, stretched out his hand to fix her head, then took out two red coins and covered her eyes with blood gushing out.
Slowly, the pain left her body, followed by bursts of warm heat.
The flames melted her consciousness, wrapped her body, and burned the ropes that bound her. She could no longer feel anything but warmth.
Along with the change, a powerful aura also descended on her.
Sensing the sharp rise in temperature around the altar, Carnason wisely squirmed backwards.
"Who dares to call me? You better have the most important thing! Otherwise, I swear to capture your soul and make you suffer in the fire of hell forever!"
The human woman whose body was wrapped in flames slowly stood up and let out an arrogant female voice.
A strong heat wave spread outward from her body, and the surrounding water quickly evaporated. Even the marble altar below showed signs of melting.
"The great Flame King, Flem Ifrit Sultan, Judge Carnason is here to await your arrival."
Away from the scalding heat source, the Gorgon said in a deep voice in the distance.
"Kanason? I've heard of this name. You should be that Behemoth's subordinate." As she spoke, her eyes glanced around, finally settling on the ground in the distance.
"We need a volcano as the foundation to open the door to hell. Please show the power of the Flame King and bring our army here."
However, she made a shushing gesture in response to Carnason's request.
The flames continued to burn on her body, covering her face. The only difference that Carnason could see was in her eyes.
Two blazing light spots like the sun existed in her eye sockets. If she looked directly into them, she would even be blinded by the light.
"I feel an uncomfortable aura from your body. This aura is so annoying that people can't help but want to get rid of it."
Flames soaring into the sky surged from her body, and even the sky was dyed red.
"I remembered, this kind of aura belongs to those hateful necromancers. The last time I came, it was destroyed by the necromancer, causing me to remain silent for hundreds of years! Why, why does it look like that on your body? The breath?"
The body in the flames screamed frantically, but Carnason responded calmly.
"The necromancers in the surface world now have a power that cannot be ignored. According to the request of the presiding judge, I will join forces with the necromancers to further weaken the power of human forces."
Carnason's answer was met with disdain from the flame figure.
"The aura on your body really disgusts me, so let me purify you!"
Carnason was stunned when a pillar of hot magma suddenly burst out from the ground beneath her feet.
Caught off guard, Carnason was sent into the sky by the pillar of flames. The intense fire exploded from the midair where she was, and the entire sky was filled with flames.
Shrouded in black smoke, the flaming figure seemed to have discovered something, showing a dissatisfied look.
In the distance, Carnason's body fell to the ground again. Now her body expanded in a circle, with dark red lines all over her body and burning with flames.
Dark scorch marks were all over Carnason's body. Even if she activated her demon form, she could no longer withstand the burning of this flame.
Glancing at the figure in the distance, flames emerged from under Carnason's body. By the time the next attack came, Carnason had disappeared.
"Tsk, did you run away..." Seeing Carnason fleeing quickly, Flem clicked his tongue and then looked at the land beneath his feet.
"Luckily for you, I have more important things to deal with."
As he spoke, Flam slowly leaned down and placed his hands on the ground.
Instantly, the ground trembled, and cracks spread beneath her feet, revealing the hot magma below.
Huge pillars of flame rose into the sky, dyeing the entire sky a blazing red. Smoke and dust were scattered, and unburned sparks fell in all directions.
She raised her head and laughed wildly. The fire reflected in her eyes was like the most beautiful sight in the world.
