''Master you have summoned me''
Ethan came inside the hall and looked at his master.
''Ethan I want you to make fourteen pills for me at the same time''
Haze said as flicked his finger and a set of materials appeared before him.
Dumbfounded Ethan had no choice but to comply with his master's orders.
Like a small tornado, Ethan's scarlet flames began to melt and mix the herbs he needed.
But as time went on his vital essence began to run out he looked at his master asking what he had to do.
''Now you have emptied your vital essence I want you to absorb the residual essence that wasn't needed on making the pills and advance directly to earth level''
''What!....cough''
Ethan was stupefied first his master asked him to make fourteen pills at the same time now his telling him to absorb the leftover essence released by the herbs to advance to the earth level.
Having no choice he inhaled deeply while still focusing his flames to make the pills at the same time circulating his vital essence throughout his his body.
-------------------------------------------
Back to the present time, Ethan tries his best to forge the puppets.
Feeling like being roast alive Ethan tried his best to forge the puppets while advancing to earth level.
Like a small whirlpool, Ethan absorbs the residual essence and begins his breakthrough.
Pouring a huge vital essence qi on his drought meridians his body begins to strengthen like a dry plant recovering back to life.
Bang!
His flames begin to ignite even better and start to attach themselves to Ethan's body and the corpse puppet body making their skin black.
Hua
Dark clouds begin to form around the garden and begin to shoot dozens of thunderbolts towards Ethan and the corpse puppets.
Every time the lighting would hit one of the puppets the dark skin would be peeled off revealing its pale and red patterned skin.
Outside the city, a group of cloakmen station there monitoring Ethan's every move.
''Have you seen where the boy went?''
A black cloaked man asked.
''Master the boy went somewhere and suddenly disappeared we couldn't locate him''
A servant answered him, looking out Ethan's window a small shadow suddenly jumped and landed in front of them transforming into an armored man.
''Hi it is my pleasure to meet you''
Like a gentleman, Pyr bowed down and gave them his fierce aura.
Five red-cloaked men were sent flying while the two black-cloaked men came in front and began to release their aura.
Bang
The collision between their auras made a strong earthquake making the trees and plants crumble to pieces.
''Who are you!?''
The both of them took out their weapons brandishing them towards Pyr.
''Who I am is not important''
The moonlight hit his body revealing his green leaf armor his red hair that fluttered every time the wind touched it and his vertical pupil that made him look vicious which contrasted with his armor.
Pyr looked at them for a few seconds before swinging his bamboo sword which was covered with flames.
Bang!
The two Deity-level cultivator use their own techniques to defend against Pyr's casual swing attack.
Half of the forest was wiped out from the shockwaves of their attack.
Pyr looks calmly at them while lifting his sword to defend himself against the joint attack of two Deity-level experts.
Clang!
Their weapons collided with each other making a hundred-meter-deep crater the two Deity level expert was surprised that their enemy didn't even panic with their attack.
''You guys are after those tattered books right''
Seeing their face changed hearing those words Pyr confirmed that his assumption was correct but one of the cloakmen suddenly chanted a spell enlarging his entire body before kicking him up.
''It seems like we had no choice''
One of the cloaked men raises his hand summoning a giant golem to hold Pyr's entire body.
''Now!''
The sky darkens as their incantation echoes everywhere and massive vital essence qi emits from the surroundings alarming the entire city.
The both of them joined hands to summon an island-sized earth sword from the sky rushing towards Pyr who was trapped by the giant golem.
whoosh
The bamboo sword flew towards the gigantic earth blade with a light touch from the bamboo sword the mighty earth blade crumbled to pieces.
Before the two Deity-level experts could react they gaze return to Pyr.
Crack!
Merely moving his body the giant golem that holding him up was broken scaring his enemies.
The bamboo sword slowly landed in his hand he calmly looked at the two Deity-level cultivators and said.
''You people are from Earth's continent you shouldn't act arrogant here''
A strong gust of wind gathered around his blade while slowly walked towards his enemies.
''We are from seven petal valley please don't hurt us''
The other man removed his cloak revealing his long beard and tattooed face.
The other man beside him took out a gold badge bearing the symbol of seven mountains.
Seven Petal Valley are one of the four sects in Earth's continent that held the responsibility of protecting and eliminating any possible threat that may harm the peace and unity of their continent.
Pyr merely looked at them for the past millennia he was stuck guarding the orb garden thus he wasn't familiar with anything related to what these people were saying.
''Seven Petal Valley one of the four clans responsible for protecting the Earth's continent what brings you people here''
Ethan gently appeared towards them surprising the two Deity-level experts who didn't even notice Ethan's presence.
''We came here having the information that one of the relics of the witches was found on one the borderlines between our Earth continent and your Fire continent''
He halted talking and started to spread the map of the four continents.
''One of our Intel told us that the remaining witches are trying to get their hands on it to revive their clan''
They keep telling the evil doings of the witches from the Pre-war era to the Battle War era but Ethan merely looks at Pyr asking him if it was true.
''Master I think they're talking about the black witches who are one of the allies of the demons of the Nether realm''
Pyr whispered to him.
''I see so that's how it was''
Ethan nods his head and looks at Pyr ordering him with a calm voice.
''Kill them''
The two Deity-level experts jolted upon hearing his command.
''Didn't you hear what we have said we are from the seven petal valley we only came here to get the relics so that the witches won't be able to get them''
Ethan only laughed at them while Pyr raised his sword and started to control the air around the entire forest.
The wind blew hard as screams echoed throughout the forest.
''You look worried'' Kai said to one of the hooded women who came with Kun ever since they came she seemed to be disturbed.
The hooded lady was quite surprised by Kai's sudden appearance but she quickly regained her composure and answered.
''It is nothing serious.... Mr....ka... Vermilion'' she answered while struggling with how to call Kai.
''Vermilion?'' Kai thought to himself it's been a long time since someone called him by his last name.
''Kai....call me Kai I feel much better when people call me that way''
The hooded lady nodded her head so Kai took this chance to talk to her when a little girl who looked the same age as Ethan came to her.
''My lady message from the people we dispatch have arrived''
The hooded lady looked at Kai before excusing herself it seemed like this urgent message was important so she hurriedly went towards Kun and the other members of the white witches.
''You like her?'' Winter appears right behind him while having a teasing grin quite uncommon to his usual cold attitude.
''I'll knock you off if you ever smile like that'' Kai shoved Winter's hand from his shoulder and went towards Haze, Winter on the other hand followed him still having his charismatically teasing smile.
''By the way my lady do you have any feelings for the Lion General of the Maple Leaf Dojo'' wearing a beautiful mask Lyn asked her while scanning Kai from head to toe.
''Let's not talk about him we have a problem at hand have you forgotten?'' the hooded lady glared at her before looking at Kai and then shifting her gaze to Winter.
''Winter do you still have the emerald sword... the one you used before to cut down a Deity-level beast'' Kai asked looking at one of the images from the memory book.
''I still have it why?'' Winter answered while taking the emerald sword out of his storage.
''For this guy'' he points to the image in front of him which gives him the feeling of fear something that he doesn't like to experience.
Winter moved forward curious about what he was looking at and he too felt it.
''What the hell is that?'' chill ran through Winter's spine he looked at the image feeling threatened.
''This image is one of the five strongest demons.....Hydra'' Kai then looks at the description below it says.
Guardian of the first demon palace Hydra the nine-headed archdemon.
