Ves inwardly cursed the current predicament.
The tribulation storm had targeted their weaknesses too well.
The phoenix exerted so much pressure onto Furia that the awakened Fire Elemental actually thought about giving the original creator of the Fire Scroll a chance to make a comeback!
As bad as it was to lose the Dominion of Man, Ves had good reasons to believe that the return of such a tyrannical figure may be worse!
He was sure that a lot of leaders who kept track of the ongoing situation might think differently about this subject, but Ves was a strong believer that red humanity could still win without giving up any of its sovereignty!
If Ves had to choose between an underpowered Furia and an absurdly strong tyrant from ancient times, he would always prefer the former over the latter!
This was why Ves strongly urged Furia to not give in to temptation.
