Book 4. A war that painted the sky red. --- Magma covered a room, reaching a temperature so high that it would set ordinary people ablaze in a matter of seconds. "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" Explosions echoed across the room as two individuals fought inside. Their battle style was similar, using glowing red flames that unleashed devastating explosions. However, while one had coldness and killing intent in his eyes, the other had confusion, terror, and unwillingness. "Please stop. Why are you doing this? I know things did not go as planned in Blade Mountain, but this is too much!" The one that shouted was no other than Amos. The young Wave Champion did all he could to face the opponent but was weaker in every field. He constantly looked for a way out, but the room was locked, making it so that no one could come in or out. Amos was a Wave Champion with Flawless Marrow, so one would expect the person that pushed him to that extreme to be another Wave Champion, but that would be wrong. The one that had Amos running was younger and a Level 9 Wave Warrior, but his power was much greater. "Your behavior at Blade Mountain was clearly not what I commanded. You antagonized Cain Laurifer repeatedly while I told you to learn more from this one and see the chance of an alliance. However, any form of relationship between that man and me has been tainted by your actions." That voice belonged to one of the greatest geniuses that the Hellblazer Family had seen in its life, Magnus Hellblazer. He had commanded Amos to come to his training room immediately after this one arrived in the Hellblazer Sector, and once they were alone, began to attack full of killing intent. Amos wanted to explain, but Magnus managed to find an opening in his defense, unleashing a point-blank explosion in the center of his chest. "¡AHHHH!" Amos screamed in pain as the blast pushed him against a wall. He was not able to take a single breath of hair before Magnus landed a vicious kick on his right knee, shattering the leg. Before Amos could say another word, Magnus grabbed his neck and raised him into the air. "You are not foolish enough to ignore my words, which means you are working for someone else, maybe one of my brothers." Magnus's voice was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes exploded, making a flash of powerful golden light appear on them for an instant. The terror in Amos's eyes exploded as he heard that. He could not believe someone so young would be so smart and decisive. "In any case, you are no longer useful to me." The golden force field concentrated around Iris, allowing the man on the throne to not only see her face but also to feel her heartbeat and detect the electrical activity in her brain. Iris adopted a solemn attitude as he went through her memories, trying to figure out if she had overlooked anything, but nothing came to her mind after an entire minute. "I am sorry, Your Highness, but nothing is left for me to share. All I remember and learned from King in my report." The man's golden eyes focused on Iris before nodding. He was sure the woman was not lying to him, and she had no more information about King. "The way he behaved and his moniker, I can not help but think you were in the presence of one of the Dark Kings." Talon's eyes widened when he heard the man on the throne use the term Dark Kings. "Your Highness, that is information Iris has no clearance to attain!" The middle-aged man's words might be misleading, but he was actually trying to protect Iris. Sometimes, too much information could lead to danger. "Her talent, cultivation, and merits granted her the right to learn about this." Talos dared not refuse the man on the throne and nodded before turning toward Iris. "The Dark Kings are the shot callers in The Organization. There are supposed to be ten of them, each a Titan with a battle power that surpasses most of the Sector Dukes." Iris' eyes widened as she heard that. The Sector Dukes were supposed to be the strongest warriors of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, but The Organization had even stronger people! However, something else shocked the young woman and made her frown. "Impossible. King is not that type of person. Why would he attack his people to help me? There must be a mistake!" Iris shouted toward the man on the throne, making Talos react harshly. "Watch your mouth!" Before things could escalate, the man on the throne raised his hand, stopping both. "The Organization is not a monolith. There are clashes between the Dark Kings, just like those between Sector Dukes. Of course, this is only a hypothesis based on very little information, and I could be wrong. However, even if I wasn't, that doesn't mean King would be our enemy. Being part of a bad group doesn't instantly make you bad. Sometimes people have no choice in that matter." There was a profound sense of wisdom in the words of the man. It was clear that his way of seeing things was beyond just black and white. Iris' eyes widened as she heard that. While she hated The Organization, she was able to understand what the man wanted to share with her. "In any case, you have a new mission now. Find King and bring him to us. An ally like him will improve our chances in future battles against The Organization." Iris smiled and bowed. Finding her savior and thanking him in person was something she really wanted to do.
