บท 42: Local forces

On the distant shores of a vast continent, the landscape is dominated by a fiery red hue, barren of any vegetation due to the presence of several massive volcanoes.

Atop one of these volcanoes stands a castle built from obsidian. Inside, the Lord of the castle is a young man dressed in black shorts, his upper body bare, his complexion cool and handsome, his body slick with sweat due to the scorching heat around him.

This man is Lord [Flame Spirit], known as Cain.

At this moment, Cain is looking at the information on the trading post, his face a picture of shock.

"Hamburger can kill Commanding level already?"

Cain prides himself on being stronger than Alex and other Lords, but it seems he's fallen behind. 

Cain's troops are Flame Spirits, elemental beings naturally endowed with fire elements and lacking physical bodies. They don't need to eat or sleep and can grow stronger by absorbing the power of fire elements while bathing in magma.
