The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5467

"Hahaha! Fire Spirit Lord, you're swaying already. Admit it, you're finished!"

Though wounded, the Fire Demon Lord's laughter crackled on, excitement sparking in his widening eyes.

Fire Spirit Lord wiped more blood away, answering coldly, "Don't flatter yourself. You're as broken as I am—neither one of us can finish this."

The Fire Spirit Lord brushed glowing cinders from his scorched breastplate, his gaze narrowing to a razor's edge.

"Oh, really?" the Fire Demon Lord asked, the words dripping with acid disbelief. "Not so fast. I still have one last secret weapon you've never even dreamed of."

He plunged a hand into the swirling pocket of his storage ring and drew out a slab of pitch-black token no larger than his palm.

Etched upon its surface leered a snarling skull, each hollow socket alive with smoldering crimson fire.

The Fire Spirit Lord's voice cracked. "What... is that?"

A tremor raced through his veins. Even from several paces away, the relic's dormant power pressed against his ribs like a collapsing mountain.

The Fire Demon Lord's laugh boomed across the ruined sky. "I found it deep inside the Flame Prison. With this little trinket, my strength multiplies in the blink of an eye!"

He raised the Soul Devouring Token high and chanted guttural words older than ash.

A metallic hum tore through the air. Dark-red light flared from the token, bathing the wasteland in blood-colored dusk. Inside that glow, tortured shrieks erupted—souls clawing, pleading, shredding themselves against unseen bars.

Overhead, the swirling crimson vortex and the gaping void obeyed the relic's call, pouring rivers of black demonic miasma downward like overturned waterfalls.

Each tendril sank into the token, then erupted outward as roaring scarlet flame that wrapped the Fire Demon Lord from horn to heel.

The blaze blossomed. His aura swelled—doubling, tripling—until the ground itself quaked beneath the sudden gravity of his power.

The Fire Spirit Lord staggered back, eyes wide. "W-What sorcery is this?"

Cold realization slammed into him. In that single heartbeat, the Fire Demon Lord's strength had surged far beyond his own.

Triumphant laughter ripped from the Fire Demon Lord's throat. "Do you understand now, Fire Spirit Lord? Kneel and die!"

In a blur of embers and shadow, the Fire Demon Lord vanished.
