#93 - Chapter 93: The Fiery March

“Begin.”

With Wu Wei's iron-blooded command, tens of thousands of demons began to surge towards the cave from which the legendary Lava Lord had come.

“Awoo!” “Howl!”

But as mentioned before.

Wu Wei's attack this time was, from any perspective, utterly insane.

Ordinary demons simply couldn't withstand the high temperatures from underground.

After advancing less than two kilometers, the scorching heat and oppressive environment caused hundreds of physically weak Lesser Demons to collapse completely, returning to the embrace of the Abyss.

Although the corpses of these Lesser Demons provided a feast for the other demons, it was still not good news.

Because the other demons were also suffering from the environment.

In Wu Wei's War Vision, the health bars of the entire demon army were decreasing.

Although the magnitude of each decrease wasn't large, the damage they were taking was still clearly visible.

Before long, more demons would die during the advance.

But...

“Increase speed.”

Sitting on the Abyss Throne, Wu Wei coldly issued the order to accelerate the advance.

Under the blessing of his Abyss Heart, the demons had no choice but to quicken their pace.

Casualties, in Wu Wei's eyes at this moment, had truly become mere jumping numbers.

Moreover, it wasn't just Wu Wei's demons who were suffering.

After the majority of the demon army entered the cave, heading towards the underground volcano area, a large number of demon slave laborers, led by their respective demon overseers, also entered the cave.

Many of these slaves, who had long been subjected to demon enslavement, were already on the verge of physical collapse.

So, after entering the high-temperature zone, their death toll was even higher than that of the demons.

With every step they took, they left behind a new corpse.

But Wu Wei remained indifferent to all of this.

He continued to command the demon overseers like a cold machine, forcing the demon slave laborers to follow behind the demon army.

In his view, all of this sacrifice was worth it.

In a war that has already begun, the more one hesitates, the more one fears casualties, the greater the casualties will be.

Only those who can adhere to their own ideas and thoroughly implement their battle plans can achieve the ultimate victory of the war and end it all.

Therefore, all of this was a necessary sacrifice.

Wu Wei's gaze swept over the corpses of the demon slave laborers and focused on the increasingly close volcano area.

“(Elvish) Lord Fakes, Lord Fakes!”

The legendary Lava Lord Fakes, who was slowly recovering from his injuries in the volcanic lava, gradually awakened.

Possessing the legendary ability – Heart of Flame, he quickly retrieved his lava body from the surrounding flames.

Although his maximum health had only recovered to less than ninety percent, this state was sufficient for him.

“What is it? Why did you suddenly awaken me?”

Fakes looked at the ball-shaped “Little Fire Sprite” jumping in front of him.

These beings, known as Fire Sprites, are the foundation of all fire element families.

If we use human society as an example, these Fire Sprites are equivalent to human infants.

Fire Sprites gradually grow and acquire various branch abilities.

Some Fire Sprites become ordinary Fire Elementals or Fire Rock Elementals, while others become Lava Elementals, Lava Ragers, and so on. Of course, there are even rarer Fire Sprites that grow into Fire Spirits...

Faced with Fakes' question, the little Fire Sprite jumped up and down and said in Elvish.

“Lord Fakes, evil intruders have come to our territory!”

“Many, many, many!”

“Intruders?”

The legendary Lava Lord Fakes was visibly stunned when he heard this word.

Although the initial intelligence of the fire element race, like other elements, isn't very high among the monster groups in the Lord era.

But Fakes, as a legendary creature, has an intelligence that exceeds the biological average due to the blessing of long years.

So he naturally understands doubt and knows how to guess.

“Intruders, how is that possible?”

Fakes said in confusion.

He couldn't quite understand how other creatures could invade his territory.

Although in the past few millennia, a small number of adventurers have indeed explored this area.

But these adventurers often haven't had time to delve far into his territory before being captured and burned alive by his fire elementals.

So the word intruder was the first time he had heard it in so many years.

In addition, the Fire Sprite in front of him used the adjective many, many, many, so Fakes naturally felt that something was very wrong.

But the clever him quickly remembered one thing.

That was the underground kingdom he had invaded not long ago!

“Could it be that the lord of that territory has come to my door?”

Fakes was even more puzzled.

Because after showing such great power, shouldn't the other party be afraid?

Why would the other party take the initiative to come to his door, trying to continue to die?

Clearly, this is my territory, clearly, I am invincible here....

Obviously, this legendary Lava Lord still couldn't understand the thoughts of many humans.

Possessing good intelligence, but still simple in thinking, it couldn't understand what anger meant.

However, when this legendary Lava Lord passed through the Fire Sprite's greenhouse and came to the edge of the volcano area, he understood.

“How is this possible!!”

What appeared in front of the legendary lord Fakes was a horrifying scene.

Nearly endless demons were frantically passing through the entrance of the passage guarded by fire elementals and lava elementals, rushing into his territory.

Their numbers were far greater than those of the elemental sprites.

And they were far more terrifying than those elemental sprites!

“Awoo!”

A demon whose entire body was ignited, under the compulsory command of the Abyss Heart, unleashed its attack on a Lava Rager in the last moment of its life.

Under the blade in its hand, the Lava Rager's physical body directly lost its stability and turned to ashes.

But when Fakes saw the eyes of the fallen demon, he seemed to gradually understand something.

That was, he seemed to have angered an existence he shouldn't have angered.

The existence behind these demons was completely enraged by his sneak attack!
