At the same time.

“Why does this not feel quite right?”

“Life Mentor Adorable” raised his hand, clutching a River and Mountain Scroll. He swung it hard and smashed a Heretic Cultist into minced meat scattered all over the ground.

They had already breached their destination and were beginning the task of lighting the Bonfire.

“What’s off about it?” Team Leader of Squad 2 asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t everything going smoothly now?” a member of the employee squad replied through the comm.

This time, without waiting for Adorable’s response, Team Leader of Squad 5 said, “That’s exactly why it’s not right. So far, we haven’t encountered any heavyweight figures.”

According to the initial estimate, they should have come across at least three strong “God’s Favored Ones” along the way.

Adorable and the others had also prepared for revival countdowns.

However…

Up until now, they had reached the target area of the mission and were on the last step, but instead of three “God’s Favored Ones,” not even one had appeared.

It could even be said that Heretic Believers with substantial strength were few and far between.

Where had this group of people gone?

“Life Mentor Adorable” looked around at the writhing greenish-black haze in every direction and at the incessant attacks by small fry, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.

At that moment…

A warm current suddenly flared up from behind.

“The Bonfire has been successfully ignited!”

An employee exclaimed excitedly, but before Adorable could relax even a bit,

lines of captions appeared before their eyes.

[“Coordinates” have been set, target search in progress…]

[Report, target lost.]

[Target lost…]

[Report on materials review rejected…]

“They ran away?” “Life Mentor Adorable” was taken aback.

He looked around, suddenly realizing something, and hurriedly tried to contact Brother Shunzi, but no one responded to his message.

…

Elsewhere, outside Colin’s territory.

“Lord of the Eaters, that’s the place!”

A small-statured man emerged from the barren land, pointing ahead.

There, in the midst of the mountains, was a huge white barrier inverted onto the earth.

“Good, as long as we can destroy that flame, everything will start to improve!”

In the group of a dozen or so people, a man dressed in red with his left chest exposed and a vertical mouth on his abdomen spoke.

Strangely, although he spoke, his mouth did not open; the voice came from his abdomen.

“The power of the ‘Bonfire’ can only be matched by the Divine Envoy of the Bonfire and the Saintess of the Church of Light… others won’t suffice…”

“Now, those two, in order to deal with my Master, will necessarily go to the Black Mountains themselves, attempting profane acts…”

“They will never expect that we would take the initiative to come here instead.”

“By the time they realize it, we will have already destroyed the Bonfire and completely ended their delusions…”

“As for those dozen of people in the territory, although their strength is decent, they cannot stand against us as a whole…”

“Before destroying the Bonfire, refrain from indulging in those ordinary blood meals… Waste no thoughts on them…”

“Within thirty minutes, completely destroy the Bonfire!”

The red-clad man’s abdominal mouth writhed as it uttered a low chant reminiscent of reciting scripture.

“And after the Bonfire is destroyed?” one of the members asked.

“If you don’t want to die, leave immediately. Once everything settles down and my Master awakens from His slumber, the world will be filled with delicacies…”

Though they hadn’t taken it down yet, they didn’t hesitate to discuss the promising future world.

Having said this, they immediately took action and moved swiftly forward.

Each appeared to be just walking normally, yet strangely, they covered hundreds to thousands of meters in one step.

It was just when they were about a hundred meters away from the enormous light barrier that several members of the “Devouring Feast” opened their mouths wide, akin to flying fish, and bit down in front of them.

With their strength, they could easily bite through even high-grade steel and melt it directly upon contact…

However, when their teeth chomped down on the light membrane, there were only ripples spreading out, with no signs of damage.

“I’ll do it…”

The man draped in red stood before the barrier, whispered lowly, and his abdominal mouth stretched wide on both sides, spitting out stinkingly sour, incredibly thick greenish-black haze, charging at the white light, aiming to digest it directly.

A host of ripples dispersed…

Next, he extended a greenish-black arm forward, stretching it rapidly and striking the barrier.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

A mouth opened in the palm of his hand, biting the ethereal light and tearing off a piece, swallowing it.

At the same moment…

A small crack appeared in the barrier.

The red-clad man was about to look through the crack to observe the situation inside and inject digestive fluid to widen the breach further.

Yet, before he could do so, he noticed an eye within the hole suddenly looking back at him.

“?”

In an instant of confusion, he felt a surge of intense dread.

But before he could react…

He burst into flames like doused gasoline, every nerve in his body sending out torments of severe pain from the intense heat.

The skin on various parts of his body and some of his fat were almost instantly melted and ignited…

“Aaaaaaaah!”

The red-clad man endured the excruciating pain, his abdominal mouth sucking in the flames that engulfed him.

Only then did he manage to catch his breath…

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Inside the territory, Colin watched the scene unfold and clapped his hands, “Impressive, impressive. You actually managed to swallow the fire. Normal people would probably have been reduced to ashes…”

“Who are you? No, wait… you’re the Divine Envoy? How come you’re still here? How can you still be here?!”

The red-clad man suddenly realized something, his face filled with disbelief.

This power could only belong to the Bonfire Envoy; it couldn’t possibly be anyone else!
