Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

The negotiations ended like this.

The Fire Giant Empire and the Burning Embers Empire signed an "Imperial Friendly Exchange Treaty".

The two countries' respective monarchs, the Fire Giant Great Sultan and the Burning Embers Emperor Cassius, swore an oath to the essence of the Fire Elemental Plane on behalf of their respective countries and signed a contract.

1. The Fire Giant Kingdom will provide the Burning Embers Empire with twenty-five wishes every year for at least ten years.

2. The Fire Giant Kingdom will pay the Burning Embers Empire five million gold nars in the form of elemental ore to purchase a large number of arms.

3. The Fire Giant Kingdom will hand over control of the Raw Iron City and the Black Iron City and end its invasion of the Brass Fortress.

The Great Sultan angrily removed his projection and continued to recuperate in his charcoal palace.

The Fire Giant Pasha Ismail was dejected and returned to the Brass City with his soldiers.

According to the usual practice of the defeated Pasha, what awaits him will be the punishment of the Sultan and the challenge of the ambitious Fire Giant warriors.

Although the fire giant officials strictly controlled speech, the news of the battle spread like wildfire, causing great panic within the fire giants.

In just a few days, the "Battle of the Scorching Wasteland" had spread throughout the fire giant kingdom, and even to the Holy Flame Rebellion.

In the rumor, the red dragon emperor from the material plane bit off Ismail Pasha's head, and Ismail was not able to revive and escape until the Sultan came in person.

After unknown consultations, the two sides finally stopped fighting at an unknown cost - there were even rumors that the Great Sultan paid the price of 100 wishes a year to get rid of this plague god.

And the name of Cassius was completely spread in the inner planes.

Many residents of the planes of fire, wind, water, earth, positive energy, and negative energy knew the name of this dragon, especially the terrible name of "Soul Devouring Dragon".

On the outskirts of the Black Iron City, the Scorching Wasteland.

As a former battlefield, the earth was riddled with holes. The deep cracks and pits were filled with hot magma, and clusters of flames would burst out from time to time.

"Roar——"

The red dragon howled to the sky, suddenly spread its wings, and stretched out its left claw.

The flames symbolizing the essence of the plane surged from the surroundings, forming a complex magic circle in his palm.

[Summoning Elemental Giant]

A vortex of flames appeared in the air, and a huge monster more than ten meters tall crawled out of it. He roared and knelt obediently in front of Cassius.

Its body was made of flames and lava, and every inch of its body contained violent fire element energy, enough to turn mortal cities into ashes and ruins.

[Fire Elemental Giant]

Challenge level: 16

"Not bad."

Casius looked at the giant in the distance and nodded with satisfaction. He waved his claws casually, and the giant disappeared.

He lowered his head and looked at the cluster of red flames in his claws.

This is the power that represents a tiny part of the authority of the Fire Elemental Plane.

After a few days of experimentation, he has been able to master this power from Ismail Pasha - more precisely, from the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants.

He has even felt the essence of this power - it is the quasi-divine power that affects the elemental plane.

The elemental lords do not rule their respective planes and all the elements there. The authority they get is only superficial, not real divine power, but the difference is only a step away.

The Great Sultan's plan is probably to bring the entire Fire Elemental Plane under the rule of the Fire Giant Kingdom, so that his "authority" can rise to the level of the entire plane.

It actually has some similarities with Cassius's domain.

And the six Pashas are undoubtedly the carriers of the Great Sultan's power, and they are carefully cultivated sacrifices for the ascension to the gods. He himself did not have time to use them, but Cassius ate one of them first.

But even if Cassius didn't "eat" the Pasha, the powerful Lord of Fire would not allow anyone to covet his authority.

For the balance of power, the Burning War will continue for a long time.

There will be no real winner in this game. If there is, it can only be an outsider like Cassius who fishes in troubled waters and reaps benefits.

Cassius grinned, feeling the power close to the essence of the fire element filling his body.

"What a pleasant surprise! After absorbing this power, I can be considered an elemental noble."

"It's really interesting."

The flame kept changing in his claws, sometimes turning into a flying bird, sometimes into a swimming fish, and sometimes into a giant dragon flapping its wings.

After absorbing this power, Cassius's control over the flame has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The red dragon itself has a fire element core and is often regarded as a semi-elemental creature by scholars. After obtaining the power of the fire giant Pasha, Cassius can be called a "native of the fire elemental plane" to some extent.

[Elemental Command]

As an elemental controller, you can try to control elemental creatures of the same type as yourself. Unless the target passes the will save, it will be completely controlled by you.

Casius's mind moved, and the light in his pale golden pupils flashed.

Instantly, the firebirds in the orange sky were controlled by him and lined up in various queues.

The fire children in the magma jumped out one by one and stood in a neat row, as if the red dragon was their natural king.

"Tsk tsk, what a great place. If I could have a safe area, I would like to sleep here."

"It's a pity that I signed a contract with the Sultan to leave the Fire Elemental Plane within ten days."

"In that case, let's see the Holy Flame Prince before leaving."

Casius thought so.

So, the red dragon flapped its wings, raising a hurricane carrying ashes and sparks on the scorching wasteland, and the huge dragon body soared into the air.

"Roar--"

Another long roar, Casius flapped his wings again, and the dragon body turned into a red afterimage, cutting through the orange sky and flying into the distance.

The imperial soldiers and free people on the city wall looked at the figure that cut through the sky like a meteor, and exclaimed.

"Look!"

"It's His Majesty Casius!"

"Is that so? His Majesty, he, he left the Fire Elemental Plane!"

"Great Red Dragon"

The emotions of loss and reluctance permeated the city wall.

Many soldiers and free people knelt down in the direction where the red dragon left, mumbling in their mouths, as if they were praying for something.

In the Black Iron City, Serkan, who was still directing the repair of the city defense, raised his head, looked into the distance, and pounded his chest with his fist, performing a standard "loyalty" salute.

His eyes were full of determination and emotion.

"Your Majesty Cassius"

"I will live up to your high expectations and become a qualified colonial governor, building a solid position for the empire in the Fire Elemental Plane to welcome your next visit."

"By then, you will become the master of the Fire Elemental Plane."
