Chapter 1417: An Visits The Fire Spirit Realm


    ?


    An stepped into the fiery spiritual portal he created and immediatelynded on a world of mes everywhere, volcandscapes covered everywhere he could see, enormous volcanoes erupted constantly and even the sky was fiery red, with a giant, red-colored sun scorchingly covering it all with even more heat.


    This was a ce, a realm where most people would instantly burn into ashes upon stepping inside, so hot and devoid of "normal" life that any being from the outside world would only perish by inhaling this ce''s many toxic gases produced by all thebustion and boiling ores and magma in thendscape.


    Yet for An, this felt like just another walk in the park. His Physique, attuned with the element of fire beyond any mortal''s limits, allowed him to easily swim inva and even be able to breathe anywhere as long as fire was around him.


    The hero thrived in mes as it was his main element, a fairlymon element now, with three heroes with the same element at the moment. Him, his daughter, and now the half- dwarf and half red oni girl, Ruby.


    "And here we are... Huh, this ce hasn''t changed at all from thest time I visited it a couple of years," heughed, walking around the endless volcandscapes.


    As he moved, life began to appear everywhere, giant volcanic golems walked across thendscape, as big as hundreds of meters. Massive draconic beasts made of magma and fire swam across the sea of molten stone. And creatures that slightly resembled people, but made entirely of fire, moved aroundrge viges built from stone and crystals.


    "Hey everyone, how are you going?"


    He greeted the people as he passed through the viges, the "zing people" noticed his presence, stepping out and greeting him.


    "But if it isn''t Hero An!"


    "Hiiii!"


    "It is nice to see you again in our Realm, hero."


    "Why are you here again, annoying human?"


    "He must havee to talk with our King!"


    The many people twisted in forms as they were made of fire, the first ones were all humanoid, but as An moved across thendscape at lightning speed, he saw many other people.


    Their shapes and sizes changing, some resembled lizards with mes on top of their bodies, others were fiery birds that lived atop volcanoes, some were foxes that swam in the volcanic rivers and hunted fiery fish, and some were giant, massive smanders that could talk.


    They were all different, yet at the same time, belonged to the same species.


    "This ce''s sure full of Fire Spirits as usual~" An smiled. "Hm, I wonder though, would any of these big guys even agree to be Ruby''s spirit? Not likely... And even then, they''ll still need to ask permission to their King."


    An stopped his journey, standing in front of a gigantic castle made from three volcanoes intercepting each other, quite literally sculpted out of them and put together with magic and ck stones.


    There were several falls made ofva constantly flowing down, surrounding the enormous fiery castle with endless burning mes andva.


    A ce where no human would ever dare step into, yet he walked here like it was just his everyday routine.


    "And here I am," he smiled. "Ifrit, I''vee to personally visit you, please let me in."


    Silence, for a moment, the only thing An could hear was the flow of magma and the mes burning through it all.


    Yet suddenly...


    RUMBLE!


    The volcanoes shook as their stone shapeshifted, transforming into a huge staircase made of ck stone and covered with mes, extending down towards An.


    "Thank you."


    The Hero of zing de quickly walked upstairs, reaching the castle interior, filled to the brim with all kinds of Fire Spirits.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    These were muchrger and stronger than the rest, evolved forms with many heads, tails, and majestic appearances. Yet they all served their King despite their tremendous power.


    The King of this ce...


    "Wee to the Realm of Fire Spirits, Muspel," said an intimidating and red-skinned half- beast-like spirit.


    Tall and enormous, muscr and intimidating, with several sharp eyes, and goat-like horns sprouting from his head, the lower half of his body was that of both a scaled beast while his upper body was covered with red and ck fur.


    A fiery crown made of mes floated above his head, his presence was divine, exuding tremendous power that made even An feel intimidated.


    "What brings me the pleasure?" the man smiled. "It has been ages since yourst visit, my dear master, An, the Hero of zing de! Has the world been sent on peril again or what?!"


    "Ifrit..." Mark smiled, ncing at his Contracted Spirit.


    His strongest Fire Spirit, and perhaps the strongest Fire Spirit in the entire world, the King of Fire Spirits, a god-like being withplete control and authority over all mes, especially


    of his Realm, the Fiery Realm of Muspel.


    Ifrit, the King of Fire Spirits!


    "Actually, nope! I came here because we recruited a young girl, a Fire Hero again!" An said with a casual tone of voice. "You see, the girl has been neglecting her powers due to a trauma and stuff, so she really needs a spirit or a couple of them to start cultivating a bit faster. Hence why I''m here. Don''t you happen to have some talented kids that want to explore the outside world? I''ll take them under my wing and let them meet Ruby!"


    Ifrit, who had believed his master hade here to talk about much more important, serious matters that could even concern the fate of the world, fell silent.


    His face grew mad, as the veins of his forehead were about to burst!


    "You fucking bastard... Don''t you have any shame?"


    "Huh?"


    An gave a step back as he felt the tremendous pressure of Ifrit weighing down his body even


    from so far away, as the spirit king sat over his fiery throne.


    "You came all the way here to meet me, boldly! And everything because you want me to lend


    you some of my brats?! Who the fuck do you think you are?!"


    Naturally, as the King of Fire Spirits, Ifrit was very temperamental!
