Fias didn't even lift its head, speaking in an indifferent tone, "If those humans had just honestly minded their own business mining underground, nothing would have happened. But they insisted on meddling with the Lava Core of this mountain."
"I had specifically set up a protective barrier around the Lava Core to prevent anyone from interfering with the geothermal energy while I was in hibernation."
"Those people activated the barrier, and the Heartfire attached to it counterattacked. As a result, none of them survived..." Fias's nonchalant explanation made it sound as if it had merely stepped on a few ants.
"Speaking of which, those humans were far inferior to you. The Heartfire has been there for thousands of years, and there wasn't much energy left. When I woke up, they had all perished due to soul incineration."
John didn't continue the topic.
From Fias's words, he could tell that the obliteration of that faction was indeed self-inflicted.
