Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

The Imp Matron endured the searing heat from a lava sprite while destabilizing its physical form.

Although the lava sprite was dead, the lingering burns caused Imp Matron Caroline excruciating pain.

Consequently, Imp Matron Caroline had to reluctantly sacrifice a lesser demon to heal her wounds.

"Hurry!"

"Make those demon slave laborers speed up."

Feeling her child being slowly consumed, Imp Matron Caroline impatiently urged them on.

She didn't want to delay any longer and see her beloved children suffer.

"Understood, Lady Caroline!"

On the other side, upon hearing the Imp Matron's urging, the demon overseers picked up their whips and lashed out at the demon slave laborers who were frantically constructing the Profane Torch, providing them with physical 'encouragement' to accelerate their construction speed.

In truth, even without the urging, these demon slave laborers were already building the Profane Torch as quickly as possible.

Countless demon slave laborers, under the supervision of their respective demon overseers, tirelessly placed the prepared building materials in their designated positions.

Unfortunately, this structure, which would normally take only a few hundred work hours to complete, was not so easily built.

Often, just as the demon slave laborers' work showed some progress, the surrounding surging fire elementals would use various methods to attack their creation, or, more simply, attack the demon slave laborers themselves.

This was the real reason why Wu Wei had dispatched the majority of his army to the other end of the battlefield.

Unlike the demon army emerging from the tunnels, in this volcanic region belonging to the fire elementals, fire elementals were truly inexhaustible.

These flame monsters, evolved from fire sprites, were more determined to protect their territory than any warrior.

Furthermore, even though the demons' brutality could terrify most creatures, these simple-minded elementals remained unafraid.

At least until Wu Wei's own rule awakened more abyssal power, they would not feel fear....

"Roar..."

Just as the Profane Torch was gradually being constructed, the Legendary Flame Lord Fawks, who had been stalled by Hela and Hendricks, suddenly sensed an anomaly.

He felt a familiar evil surge appearing within his territory!

That evil surge was similar to when Wu Wei first arrived in the Trial World.

However, this time, the evil surge was not as terrifying as when the Seed of the Abyss was planted.

As a side note.

Fawks was originally a hidden force in the Trial Continent, and the only reason he ambushed Wu Wei's territory was that he sensed the immense threat from the Abyss.

Although this time, the sense of fear it brought him was far less intense than the Seed of the Abyss, such a surge still filled Fawks, who possessed an innate affinity for fire, with extreme disgust and dread.

Therefore, sensing all of this, the Legendary Lava Lord Fawks directly "went berserk."

This lava lord, possessing a sixth sense-like ability, directly spewed out a large amount of lava, engulfing Hendricks, and then kicked the extremely durable Hela away.

Then, the monster ignored the demons fighting alongside various fire elementals and headed directly towards the area where he sensed the surge.

The instant his behavior became erratic, Wu Wei's attention also shifted away from that battlefield and focused on Fawks.

Almost instantly, a large number of demons swarmed towards the Legendary Lord Fawks.

Wu Wei attempted to replicate his tactics from the underground kingdom, using the demons' "fearless" nature and his own Heart of the Abyss to forcibly kill the Lava Lord Fawks.

Unfortunately, this time, the battlefield was different.

Fawks was in a volcanic region where lava could be gathered endlessly.

In this region, although his health could not be fully replenished at once, his combat abilities would be greatly enhanced.

Therefore, Wu Wei's strategy yielded results that differed from his expectations.

Although Fawks's forward speed was significantly delayed, he was not killed and continued to advance slowly, relying on his terrifying fire abilities.

With each step he took, a large number of demons died.

This rate of casualties far exceeded all the wars Wu Wei had previously waged on the surface.

However, this delay was effective.

Because by the time Fawks finally approached the Profane Torch and repelled Imp Matron Caroline for the second time, Wu Wei's goal had been achieved.

"Construct the Abyssal Hatchery!"

Boom!

A surge far more terrifying than the construction of the Profane Torch almost made Fawks tremble.

Next came the two "Magma Hearts."

These so-called Magma Hearts were rare items that looked like flame crystals and could only be dropped by fire elementals.

Although the drop rate was pitifully low each time, Wu Wei still managed to get two during this long war.

Of course, there were only two.

Although Wu Wei had killed elemental monsters in the tens of thousands this time, he was still pleasantly surprised to get two.

After all, based on his understanding of his own luck, he had actually prepared himself to get only one, or none at all...

Ahem, in short, after these two Magma Heart materials were sent into the Abyssal Hatchery, Wu Wei also invested a large number of resource points into the Abyssal Hatchery.

Then, everything would be over.

Two huge demon cocoons appeared on the battlefield.

The legendary demons who once ruled the volcanic regions in the ancient abyss were about to return!

And they were the true masters of these flames.
