Back at the Demon King's Tavern, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. The Emberfruit, harvested from the heart of the Infernal Orchard, lay on the counter before Victor. Its golden hue pulsed gently, as though alive, radiating a warmth that filled the room.
The journey to the orchard had been perilous, but this was only the beginning. Now, Victor faced an even greater challenge—transforming the Emberfruit into a dish capable of purifying the corruption spreading through the Demon Realm. Failure was not an option.
Lyra, Marcus, and Kain stood nearby, watching intently.
"This is it," Marcus said, his arms crossed. "The fruit that could change everything."
Kain smirked. "Assuming Victor doesn't accidentally blow us all up in the process."
Victor rolled his eyes. "Thanks for the vote of confidence."
Lyra stepped forward, her eyes filled with encouragement. "You've got this, Victor. If anyone can unlock the Emberfruit's potential, it's you."
