In some ways, the Followers of the Crimson Realm and Fire Mist Warriors were not significantly different. If there was any difference, it was that the Followers of the Crimson Realm needed a vast amount of Power of Existence to ensure their continued existence in this world. In contrast, Fire Mist Warriors formed a pact with the Demon King of the Crimson Realm. The Fire Mist Warriors would dedicate everything they owned from their "past, present, and future" to the Demon King of the Crimson Realm, who, in response, would imbue them with their mighty power, enabling them to wield the formidable strength originally belonging to the Demon King.
