Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1180: Shadow Of Flames

"Don't forget our original purpose of arriving on this planet, my dear Merry." Stark said coldly, "I'm only here for my brother. It doesn't matter to me whether that little prince or even he can win that upheaval. According to my plan, my brother should have broken off from these fellow humans on Earth, but now the plan has changed. I have an obligation to fix it."

"According to Diego, Earth is not a very interesting planet. It is located on the edge of the universe. It's amazing. Isn't it usually very difficult to nurture life on the edge of the universe?" Another sword slave said.

"Who knows? Perhaps it's a miracle? But it has nothing to do with us anyway. What we need to do now is wait until we arrive on Earth and wait for an opportunity to act." Stark frowned. "Strange, I can't feel him. Could it be that he's not on the same starship as us?"

Stark didn't know that Alan's consciousness had already entered the depths of his soul. At this moment, the only thing left on the ship was a shell. Stark didn't dare to dig too deep. Although he had a secret technique that could weaken the connection between the bloodlines, if he sensed Alan too frequently, it would still cause a mysterious resonance among the people who chose the bloodline. At this time, he didn't want Alan to find out where he was.

Stark couldn't sense Alan, and Alan didn't notice him either.

Alan is gathering his troops.

This mountain range was much wider than he had imagined, and the lives that inhabited this mountain range were far from limited to the Fire Child and the Fire Horned Demon. Allen did not forget that his last expedition to the world of consciousness had been frustrated by the army of unknown existences in the forest of flames. If he wanted to pass through the Fire Forest this time, he obviously needed more soldiers. Therefore, after arriving in this world with his consciousness, he didn't rush off.

He stopped in the mountains and gathered a portion of his army. Then, he chose some Fire Boys and Fire Horned Demons as his "messengers". Alan attached a portion of his aura to them and asked them to go somewhere else to gather his army. Alan stayed in one of the valleys. The boulder was his chair, and the two strong Fire Horned Demons lay as docile as dogs, and Allen's hands were casually placed on them.

The entire valley was Allen's throne!

Two days later, troops arrived one after another. Most of them were still Fire Boys. It seemed that the entire mountain area had gathered Fire Boys. Their numbers were ten times or even more than last time. Alan raised his head and saw that the entire valley was occupied by fire children. They flew densely like a cloud of fire that was constantly moving. More Fire Horned Demons came to the valley as they were summoned. Their numbers were much smaller than the Fire Boys, but no Fire Boys dared to approach these ferocious beasts.

In the army that he had summoned, there was a kind of life that Alan had never seen before. They were humanoid creatures, similar to the exotic beasts that Alan had seen before. Their bodies were covered with layers of rock, and they would occasionally spit out flames or thin black smoke from the voids. They didn't have palms on their arms, but had directly transformed into weapons. There are knives, axes, or swords or spears. Only one thing was identical. They spat out orange-red flames from the rock around their necks. Within the flames floated two blazing red stone beads, like the eyes of these things.

Alan named them Fireguards because they looked more suitable to be his personal bodyguards than the Fire Horned Demons. There were a few particularly strong fellows among the Fire Guards. Their rock formations were darker, and the flames they spat out were not orange-red, but dark-red. The cracks in the rock behind these fellows would continuously spit out a curtain of fire, just like a blazing cloak hanging down from the ground.

They were the elites of the Fire Guards, and Alan called them Commanders of the Fire. They commanded the Fire Guards to form Alan's personal army.

Apart from these, there were also two Fiery Beasts. Their bodies were like moving hills. Black and shiny materials made up their skeletons. Alan could not tell whether those things were rocks or steel. He only knew that they were very hard and could withstand high temperatures. Otherwise, why couldn't the flames from the giant beasts burn them red? These two giant beasts didn't have the usual biological skin and flesh. They only had a pitch-black skeleton and a burning body.

Alan could feel that there were other living beings in the mountains, and there were many who were stronger than the Flame Commander and the Fiery Behemoth. Those fellows refused his summons. According to the rules of this world, Alan should fix them so that they knew who was in charge. However, he no longer wanted to wait any longer, so he jumped onto the head of one of the Fiery Behemoths.

He stood in the middle of a blazing flame, stepping on a black skeleton that looked cold, but was actually hot enough to burn people. Then, he pointed in the direction of the Fire Forest, and the fire beast beneath Allen's feet burst into flames, pushing forward like a giant fireball. Behind it, the other giant beast followed suit. A few Flame Commanders rode on the Fire Horned Demon and followed closely behind the giant beast. The rest of the Fire Guards and the Fire Horned Demon mixed together like a burning river that rolled through the mountainous land.

In the sky, the Fire Boy Army, which was several times larger than the ground troops, whistled past. When they flapped their wings, they could be heard hundreds of kilometers away.

As Allen's army began to move, a powerful aura rose up from the depths of the forest. The aura carried a hint of arrogance and anger. The burning fire crowns of the strange trees lit up at the same time in the entire forest, and raging flames shot into the sky. The forest seemed to have woken up, and all sorts of strange cries began to ring out in the forest.

After passing through the buffer zone between the mountains and the forest, the Fiery Behemoth charged into the edge of the forest with Allen, and Allen's army followed closely behind. Very quickly, Allen saw the Flame Knights who had commanded the enemy army last time. In the distance were the figures of the headless giants. As for the Fire Dwarves, they immediately jumped down from the depths of the forest. They brandished their rough weapons and charged at Allen with screams.

This time, the numbers of the two armies were roughly the same, and Allen's side had even more people.

However, Allen did not rush into the depths of the forest with his army as he did last time. When he saw the enemy's army, Allen even ordered the Fiery Beast to stop. In the end, all the ground troops, including the Fire Horned Demon, stopped besides the Fire Child in the sky.

As for the forest army, the Flame Knights, who were in charge of commanding this army, were a bit unclear. As the upper creatures in the forest, they possessed intelligence that ordinary beings did not possess. However, its intelligence wasn't strong enough to understand Allen and the others, so after a moment of hesitation, it still gave the order to attack. Alan also launched an attack, but the only one attacking was the Fire Boy in the sky.

Driven by Alan's will, groups of fire children split into several Dao Weapons and flew towards the forest army. However, their attacks were different from usual. The Fire Boy abandoned the most common fireball attacks and instead activated his Origin Energy to the maximum extent possible. This caused the Fire Boy's body to gradually brighten up during the dive. When they came into contact with the Fire Dwarves on the ground, clumps of flames shot out from their bodies and then exploded intensely!

Self-detonation, this was Alan's order to the Fire Boy. These lowly creatures had always acted as cannon fodder on the battlefield. This time, they were no exception. However, Allen had used the most tragic methods to increase their value by countless times. Under his orders, every fireboy was a heavy artillery shell. The number of fireboys Alan had gathered this time had reached five figures. Under the deadly bombardment of more than ten thousand fireboys, the vanguard of the forest army had already collapsed as soon as they came into contact with each other. The flames of the explosion began to spread towards their main forces.

Allen's tactics were simple, but brutal and effective. The Fire Boy's suicidal bombardment directly opened a path filled with scorched earth and flames in the forest. Alan let out a long howl and extended a long saber from his palms. He held one of them and pointed forward, ordering the army to launch a general attack.

"Mr. Allen, you will leave the warp channel in 30 minutes. Please be prepared." In the single cabin, the female soldier's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie beside the door and repeated three times.

"I know." Alan, who had just left the world of consciousness, replied after calming down.

He was still in a daze. Everything that had happened in his consciousness was as far away as if it was a fragment of his previous life. However, Alan still remembered clearly that after his army had defeated the forest army, the existence that had occupied the Fire Forest had finally appeared.

That thing had no specific shape. It was like a shadow twisting and twisting under the flames of the flames. Within the shadow was a humanoid figure that was much deeper than the darkness. It let out a provocative roar at Allen, and at that time, the canopies of all the fire trees darkened at the same time. Countless streams of fire were carried by some sort of force field and swept towards that thing, and the flames surrounded it as if they were welcoming the king's subjects.

Some of the flames landed on its head, forming a flame crown. A portion of the flames fell into its hands, forming an indeterminate shape of the giant flaming sword. The black smoke emitted by the giant sword danced in the air, emitting an apocalyptic pressure.

Allen's army hesitated in the face of that. Even the two Fiery Behemoths had fallen to the ground. That was their performance against the higher-ups. However, Allen chose to rise up. Flames burned in his body, and the two long sabers of flame sprayed out the last resplendent flames in his hand. As Alan dragged his saber forward, it was like a pair of giant wings of fire sweeping through the forest.

In the end, a great war broke out between Alan and that thing. It was a war that the army could not interfere in at all. As a result, most of the forest was razed. Countless creatures, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, fell victim to that great war. The last one standing was Alan. One of his arms was torn off, but his long saber cut off the opponent's head.

When the thing died, Alan knew its name. It was called Rogosiah, and in the language of Eboynes, the name meant both the Shadow of Flame and the Shadow of Blaze.
