"She asked you, what are you doing?"

"Build a stove, because I'm going to set a fire later."

"Did she say you were going to set fire to the ring?"

"Yes, fire, no less fire than lava. Although I'm not sure whether I can succeed, it doesn't matter if I give it a try."

Although I say this, I still feel in my heart that the success rate is very high. After all, how hot is magma?

I have watched some documentaries, which said that the temperature of magma is only about 1200 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature is only 1400 degrees Celsius. The two thermite incendiary grenades I carried had a maximum burning temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius, that is, with the

Only with this guarantee can I dare to tell them anything.

After I mentioned this idea to Diana, she hurriedly knelt down and helped me knock out the stone slabs. After a while, the two of us built a stone stove that was almost half a meter high. We were worried about these stone slabs that looked like sandstone.

It was burned through quickly and caused the stove to collapse, so I asked the eldest daughter to borrow two long swords and a shield to fix it.

I took out the severed finger and threw it into the stove, and then looked back at everyone. Although everyone except Diana looked worried, some of them were even a little dissatisfied with me... or hostile, anyway.

I wasn't worried. But I didn't care. I turned around and looked at Mr. Ronan, who was beaten like a puddle of mud by the knights. This guy's eyes still didn't change. He was still staring in the direction of the ring. But it was better than before.

It was much better when he was indoors, at least his expression showed fear.

Diana persuaded everyone to retreat to a position 10 meters away, and then I took out a red cylindrical grenade from my backpack.

"This is it?"

Diana came over to look at the thing in my hand. At the same time, the Grand Princess and William behind her also quietly moved closer, as if they wanted to see this thing that could save them.

"Yes."

"What's it called?"

"I forgot, the older American product was given as a gift when I bought the gun on the black market."

"...It must succeed."

"..."

I didn't answer, I just turned on the safety and threw it into the stone stove, and then quickly pulled Diana and ran away.

A few seconds later, a plume of thick smoke rose into the sky along with the shining firelight, and the firelight continued to increase in the next ten seconds. Even a small amount of high-temperature fluid flowed out from the bottom of the stone stove, really as slowly as magma.

Slowly spreading outward. This sight frightened many people. I could hear the small commotion from the knights behind me without turning around.

I glanced at the Grand Duchess and William who were not far away. Their faces were not very good-looking, especially the Grand Duchess, who looked a little scared. But Diana next to me was much better, at least she seemed very happy.

"Maybe this method can really work..."

"What?"

"Did you notice the smell oozing out of that thick smoke? A terrifying smell full of all kinds of negative emotions."

"When you say that...it does feel a little uncomfortable."

"Ah? Why did you stop?"

I glanced at the stone stove and saw that the fire was decreasing rapidly. It had been burning for about 50 seconds, and it should be finished. However, Diana's expression made me think that this was not enough, so the two of us left.

I went over and planned to see the specific situation. But just about 3 meters away from the stone stove, I was suddenly pulled by Diana.

"No, it's not completely destroyed, it's still a little bit..."

"Oh, let's continue."

After saying that, I took out an identical grenade and turned on the safety and threw it in. This time, before the fire could reach the sky, I heard screams from behind. I was curious and wanted to go over and take a look, but she stopped me again.

"Don't worry about him. This is the critical moment. I'm afraid the gem on the ring has been broken. His soul is being dragged by the power contained in the gem. Let him suffer on his own."

"Oh...fuck!"

I was about to say something, when suddenly the stone stove was exploded by a strange impact. I protected Diana and hurriedly retreated. The eldest daughter next to me also retreated further under the cover of the shields of the knights.

When the dust from the explosion dissipated, I found that the original stone stove had been blown up to the point where no prototype could be seen, and there was a huge fuzzy humanoid figure floating in the sky above that location. I couldn't tell the height, shortness, fatness, and detailed appearance at all.

, it’s just a black shadow that flickers in and out. But the shadow’s right eye is very clear. It is an orange pupil that keeps shaking, and it is constantly scanning the surroundings.

It's obvious that the pupil color of that eye is the same as the color of the gemstone on the ring, or maybe that stone is this guy's eye. This eye doesn't look like a human pupil at all, or any creature I've ever seen.

There is no such strange shape, because after the pupil kept shaking, it actually split into two other pupils, a total of three pupils. Just seeing that look made me tremble all over. I gritted my teeth and quietly

I picked up the M1A, but Diana stopped me and shook her head at me.

"It's useless. It's just a shadow. It's the soul fragment of the master who controls the scepter, the Chosen One of Katari. Don't worry about him, he will disappear after a while."

"Yeah...it looks like that thing is very oppressive, almost like a monster."

"Of course, those were enemies from another world thousands of years ago, and the Chosen Ones of that era were basically similar to demigods."

"unimaginable……"

I continued to look at the phantom, and after it finished scanning its surroundings, it suddenly reached out to Mr. Ronan, who was twitching. I saw Ronan lifting up into the air as if he was being suspended by an invisible thread.

Then it slowly floated in front of the phantom. Then the phantom suddenly put its hand into the baron's body and pulled it out hard. Then the baron's body fell to the ground motionless, but the phantom's

There was also a translucent shadow that looked like Ronan in his hand.

"That is?"

"The baron's soul..."

"Varied……?!"

"Shh..."

My question was interrupted by Diana, and I could only continue to quietly watch everything happening in front of me. Ronan's soul was constantly struggling and shouting in the hands of the phantom, but we could not hear any sound. The huge phantom

Ying lifted Ronan's soul in front of him and looked at it carefully for a while, but Ronan's soul was struggling more and more fiercely. He even kept turning his head to say inaudible words to us and others on the ground. His expression was terrifying.

It wasn't like chatting at all, but full of fear and pleading. But no one paid any attention to him, especially the eldest daughter. I glanced at her not far away and found that the corners of her mouth were turning up, as if she saw Ronan like this.

Feel very happy.

I also shook my head with some gloating, and then continued to look at the huge shadow. The other party looked at Ronan back and forth for a long time, then suddenly opened an indescribable mouth and swallowed Ronan's soul in an instant.

This scene really made me feel a little scared, and it’s hard to describe my specific feelings at this time, because it was too creepy. The phantom was eating Ronan as easily as eating a shrimp. I could even watch it.

It moved around its mouth, as if it was chewing.

When I saw the shadow again making a gesture that looked like swallowing, it stared at us on the ground again. This made me startled, and I subconsciously pointed the gun at it. But the other party didn't.

What kind of action? He just glanced at us, then looked up at the sky and flew upwards. The speed was faster than a rocket, and he was completely invisible in the blink of an eye.

"No! This is impossible!"

"What's wrong?" I was a little curious about what Diana asked after seeing the other person fly away.

"It shouldn't be like this? It didn't dissipate but left? This has never happened before."

"Oh? Never?"

"No! There is no such record in the previous information."

"Really... maybe that thing is alive and not dead at all."

"this……"

"Forget it, I don't know what that thing is going to do anyway, but it seems to me that it flew out of the atmosphere, maybe it's going home."

"Maybe, no matter what, I have to report this to the library later."

"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you."

"What?"

"They." I pointed to the position of the eldest daughter and the others, then stretched out in a leisurely manner and said, "You can't expect me to negotiate with them, right?"
