Feeling someone enter, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who are you?"
An incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
He clearly hadnât expected that someone could find this place and enter so easily.
"Duke of the Southern Border?" David spoke.
The Duke of the Southern Border was also sizing up the person in front of him, with a wary expression.
His first impression of David was of youth, then he felt a terrifying aura pressing in.
This immediately reminded him of one person.
Duke Frost Wolf of the Northern Territory, now acknowledged as the strongest in the Silver Moon Kingdom!
"Duke Frost Wolf, what do you want to do here?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Naturally, for the legacy of the Flame Barrier."
Davidâs face was calm, "You are not my opponent, choose submission."
"Thatâs impossible!"
The Duke of the Southern Border responded immediately, without even thinking.
Then, he directly activated the power of the Flame Barrier.
He knew he wouldnât be a match for Duke Frost Wolf outside, but here was the core location of the Flame Barrier!
With the Flame Barrierâs backing, he was confident that his power would not be weaker than Duke Frost Wolfâs!
But at the next moment, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
When he reacted, the flame shield around him suddenly tremored.
Then, his confident flame shield was suddenly shattered under Duke Frost Wolfâs fist!
"You!"
The Duke of the Southern Borderâs eyes widened.
But before he could utilize the power of the Flame Barrier to attack,
a mass of green flames suddenly appeared, transforming into the figure of the Burning Demon.
A terrifying oppression radiated from the Burning Demon, instantly suppressing all the fire elemental energy in the arena!
No matter how hard the Duke of the Southern Border tried, he couldnât use the power of the flames anymore.
"Are you a Demon Believer or a Wizard?" The Duke of the Southern Borderâs voice trembled slightly.
David coldly said, "Submit, or die."
The Duke of the Southern Border looked at the terrifying Burning Demon with a face full of fear, and his fear finally overcame his pride.
"I... I choose to submit."
Taking advantage of the moment before the Burning Demonâs attack arrived, he hurriedly spoke.
Seeing this, David made the Burning Demon halt its attack, and then activated the power of the Contract Spirit.
The Duke of the Southern Border felt a severe pain in his mind, and one of his souls was extracted and devoured by the Contract Spirit.
Then, the Duke of the Southern Border felt his spirit bound, rising with a feeling that he couldnât defy any orders from Duke Frost Wolf.
"Greetings, Lord Duke."
The Duke of the Southern Border unwillingly knelt on one knee and saluted.
David nodded, instructing the Duke of the Southern Border to hand over the key to control the Flame Barrier.
After refining the key, he directly let the Duke of the Southern Border leave first, while he continued to explore the Flame Barrier.
His gaze fell on the lava pool in front of him, allowing the Burning Demon to jump directly into the lava pool.
Although the lava pool was filled with terrifying high temperatures, to the Burning Demon it was like a bath, unable to cause any impact.
Before long, the Burning Demon came up holding three specially made large boxes.
David opened the boxes,
one of which contained the legacy of the Fire Attribute Mage.
Another box surprisingly held the legacy of alchemy, especially the forging of magical artifacts.
The last box contained magic gemstones filled with flame energy, which could help the Fire Attribute Mage grow rapidly.
David smiled slightly and put away all the boxes.
Then, he extracted the Flame Core from the center of the Flame Barrierâs core, before leaving the secret chamber.
With the Flame Core, he could completely restore the Flame Barrier and deploy it elsewhere.
Having obtained everything he wanted, David returned to the castle.
The Duke of the Southern Border was standing respectfully on one side, evidently having come to terms in the short time.
Though unaware of the slowly approaching Demon Tide, he felt that change was happening across the world.
Under such circumstances, even as a Tier Six Knight, he might not survive.
Thus, it would be better to ally with Duke Frost Wolf, combining the forces of the Four Realms, he already felt the destruction of the Silver Moon Royal Family.
As long as he could destroy the Silver Moon Royal Family, heâd do anything!
David learned more about the Flame Kingdomâs situation from the Duke of the Southern Border.
The Flame Kingdomâs situation was similar to the Jingge Kingdomâs, not as powerful as the Silver Moon Kingdom, but still much stronger than the Shiling Kingdom.
"Why did my father die in the Southern Territory?" David suddenly asked.
This was also his primary purpose for coming to the Southern Territory.
He wanted to uncover the truth behind his fatherâs death in the Southern Territory and recover his fatherâs remains.
The Duke of the Southern Border was taken aback, his gaze lingering on the face so similar to the old Duke Frost Wolf, his eyes momentarily dazed.
No one would have expected the current Duke Frost Wolf to grow so quickly.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "Your fatherâs death was related to the Flame Kingdom."
Davidâs gaze suddenly focused.
At the border between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom, a secret treasure appeared that could help Knights break their limits.
At that time, several Tier Six Knights, including Duke Frost Wolf, fought over it.
Although Duke Frost Wolf got the secret treasure, he was surrounded by Tier Six Knights from the Flame Kingdom.
In the end, Duke Frost Wolf died in battle, and the Flame Kingdomâs Tier Six Knights left the ruins with the secret treasure.
After listening to the Duke of the Southern Borderâs account, David nodded calmly.
Now that his fatherâs death was confirmed to be related to the Flame Kingdom, he must avenge his father next.
