Demon God

Chapter 196: Wave Of Fire



Desire and his master quickly went back to Jakart with the teleportation magic that they used to get to the Lion's Forest.

Of course, Desire wasn't carried by his master anymore or something like that.

Desire just tapped Lionel's shoulder while the teleportation magic was ongoing, and just like that, he was back in Jakart after a seemingly long amount of time.

"Wow, now that I'm here again, master's mansion really is big, isn't it?" Desire said with amazement plastered all over his face as he looked in front of him.

Of course, it was Lionel's mansion, where he lives and where Desire lived for a...short amount of time before.

"That's not something you should be amazed at, though I understand the sentiment." Lionel said as he began to walk towards his mansion.

"Follow me, Jarina's been waiting for you, too." Lionel continued without looking back at Desire.

"Did you tell her about my sudden growth, master?" Desire said as he, too, began to walk as he followed right behind his master.

"No, I didn't. You should be the one to tell her about that. Though I doubt she would have any problems with you growing up like that." Lionel said.

And Desire...didn't speak after hearing that. He just stayed quiet and just kept walking.

It didn't take long for the duo to reach and enter the mansion, and as soon as they did, Desire felt something.

'Intruders?' Desire thought as he used his senses to grasp on that feeling.

He could feel that...there were a lot of people coming in and out of this...place.

No, he didn't exactly know where they were, but he knew that they were near.

"Hmm? You can feel them?" Lionel said as he felt that Desire was alerted over something.

Of course, when Desire heard what his master said, he quickly whipped his head towards his direction as he spoke, "Yes...what are they? Are they intruders? There are so many of them."

"No, they are not. They are my men that came back from the war. You remember that the Lion Clan was going to war before we started your training, right? They just came back."

Lionel said as he urged Desire to follow him with his right hand, "Don't mind them, too much. This place is connected with the Lion Clan's headquarters, so it isn't that weird for you to feel them."

However, before even Lionel could take a step, Desire spoke, "They came back?"

"Master, do you mean to say that the war is already over?" Desire said with a nonchalant tone.

Although it was such a shocking event, Desire wasn't really that surprised about it.

Well, he was just calm about it. After all, there was no need to be that surprised about it when it didn't concern him at all.

"Hmm? Have I not told you? The war is already over. The moment the Lion Clan announced that we would be taking over the dungeon, no other clans or guilds tried to get it."

"And since I sent one of my direct soldiers to lead the Lion Clan's forces, they conquered the Dungeon easily."

And when Desire heard that, he nodded his head as he spoke, "I see..."

"Master, did one of your subordinates become a Conqueror? Since they conquered the Dungeon, the one who killed the Monster Lord should be a Conqueror by now." Desire asked as he got curious about this topic.

What Desire said was the truth. If one kills a Monster Lord, one could be considered a Conqueror by then.

However, it seems that Desire was forgetting something as Lionel spoke.

"The Dungeon in the east is just Rank C. Killing a Monster Lord of a Dungeon of that level does not make one a Conqueror."

Lionel answered Desire, but it seems that Desire was not done with his questions as he spoke once more.

It seems that he got a lot of questions to ask about what was happening in the outside world.

"So, a month is considered a short amount of time when it comes to conquering Dungeons?" Desire asked.

Lionel just nodded his head. When he saw that Desire understood his point, he continued speaking.

"Well, just like I said, don't mind them too much. I'll let you meet them personally soon, after all."

It was then that Lionel finally started to walk. His steps resounded out in this place, and Desire just followed right after him.

'So, I'll meet them...I wonder what they would think of me.' Desire thought as his eyes sharpened a little bit.

'Though, their opinions would never matter.'

Right...Desire never planned to care about the opinions of the Lion Clan's forces or whoever they were.

Desire would do whatever he wanted to do, and no one will stop him from doing that.

It was then that Lionel's mansion started to shake. Before it started shaking, a loud explosion of something resounded out which was obviously the cause of the shaking.

And when it happened, Lionel spoke as his face immediately turned sour, "Are they at it, again? Jeez."

"Ah, Desire, how about you go and meet Jarina first?" Lionel said as he turned around to look at Desire.

"Hmm? I thought we were going to go somewhere that will tell me how strong I am?" Desire said as his red eyes widened a little bit.

It seems that he was really excited to know how strong he was right now.

"Don't worry about that, you will definitely go there. However, not now since it's an event that most powerhouses are going to attend so it would take some time to organize that."

"So, meet Jarina first." Lionel said, but he was not done as he continued, "She's at the source of this shaking."

Lionel then pointed his finger at the ground as the...mansion started to shake once more.

Of course, Desire was able to understand what his master meant by that, and he just...nodded his head.

But Desire wanted to know when that event would start, so he spoke again.

"When will that event start, master?"

However, it seems that Lionel doesn't plan to answer him right now as he answered with a vague answer, "I'll tell you when it comes."

Lionel then turned around as he resumed walking towards his destination.

It didn't take him long to disappear from Desire's field of vision.

'Hmm...guess I should meet Jarina, then.' Desire thought as he started to expand his senses to find out about the source of the shaking.

Desire was able to do this before when he was still a child, so it was quite easy for him to find the source of the shaking now.

'So, she's there.' Desire thought as he started to walk towards the direction of that place.

That place was, of course, the place where Desire trained himself before to increase his progress with the unification with water.

'Hmm? Someone's with her.' Desire could feel that there was someone with Jarina in that room, and that was why...Desire started to walk a little bit faster.

"Jarina's mine..." Desire murmured as his walking turned into running.

And it was because of this that Desire was able to reach his destination quickly.

It was the same door that wasn't closed, and when Desire peeked inside, he could see...pillars of fire everywhere.

Marks of the ground and the walls being burned were evident, and the ground was also sliced open here and there.

And as if that was not enough, the whole place was...just the pure demonstration of chaos.

Right, it was just chaos!

"What the fuck? What happened here?" Desire murmured as he tried to peek in between the pillars of fire.

And before even Desire could try and use his senses to find out what was happening here, he soon saw the pillars of fire...being cut in half.

A light suddenly appeared in Desire's field of vision, and Desire's two eyes followed that light.

"Ah, that's!" Desire shouted as he saw that the light...was a sharp blade that was connected to a string.

Desire then whipped his head as he tried to find the source of the string, and there...he saw Jarina dancing around with fire.

"Jarina!" Desire shouted out loud, but it seems that Jarina couldn't hear him as she...proceeded to cut the fire again in half!

The way she danced around with her two blades dangling around from both of her arms was just...beautiful.

It was so beautiful that even Desire was captivated by her.

However, maybe because Jarina was too focused, she didn't notice it.

She didn't notice that another wave of fire was coming for her from her sides, ready to burn her alive.

It was only when the fire was near her that Jarina's eyes finally noticed it.

But...as she was in the process of cutting down another pillar of fire, she couldn't pull back her blades in time to cut the wave of fire.

Right...Jarina was about to be eaten alive by the wave of fire!

It was then that Jarina saw some sort of shadow move in front of her, right in front of the wave of fire.

"Hmm...how do I do it, like this?" A voice said, and the next thing that Jarina saw was the fire slowly disappearing into thin air.

'What!' Jarina thought to herself as her purple eyes widened.
