The Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit spoke slowly.
"Demons! Always fear those more powerful than themselves!"
"Defeat the demon and your Legendary Demon Staff will gain the ability to shepherd demons."
"If you are defeated by this Devil's Soul."
"Then... your forging will fail, and the demon will escape... and even in the future, this fleeing Devil's Soul may come looking for trouble, even revenge."
Tuck's eyebrows raised slightly.
The cost lay here.
"Sounds... fair!"
Tuck nodded.
"I like this method, so let it out!"
As Tuck's voice fell.
The Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit threw the half-forged Demon Staff back into the furnace.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Angry roars echoed like thunder, rolling thunderously.
And the flames in the Furnace Altar, like having taken a tonic, turned into serpentine fire spurting crazily from the altar's outlet, spreading wildly.
In mere breaths, the entire Forging Altar Area had become a sea of fire.
