"I agree,"
said the rest of the leaders in agreement.
They hated Austin with all their hearts, now even regarding the entire reincarnation race as their
enemy.
"We'll go to the three Lords of Darkness right away.
We'll work together with them from now on, to deal with that pesky reincarnation race.
But Austin is still our main target.
We will not stop hunting him until he has breathed his last breath!"
Solomon bellowed as he got to his feet.
What he'd gone through in the Eight Fires Valley had left him fuming and reeling with displeasure. All
he wanted now was to destroy Austin, no matter what it took.
Austin had become a thorn in their side for the leaders of the Time Chamber Sect.
They would get no relief until he was dead.
Bad news had spread to the headquarters of the darkness race at the same time.
In one of their lairs, a breathless voice sounded.
"Lords of Darkness, we have lost three demon guards of darkness amongst all the action.
All of them were gods of chaos."
Whoever the voice came from sounded exhausted, breathing heavy and talking fast.
"How is this happening? That Austin is just a governing god. What abilities does he possess for us to
lose three gods of chaos to him?" responded an unpleasant voice.
The speaker's displeasure rang out clearly.
Three terrifying gigantic figures sat cross-legged in a space filled with dark energy and law of darkness.
They were the three Lords of Darkness.
A demon guard of darkness stood respectfully in front of them and gave his report.
"We chased Austin all the way into the Eight Fires Valley. However, we were not expecting a legendary
fire source beast to be there.
The beast was incredibly powerful, and capable of controlling eight kinds of sacred fire.
We could not defeat it, even with dozens of our demon guards of darkness and nine leaders of the
Time Chamber Sect.
In the end, three of our demon guards died and Emory of the Time Chamber Sect fell as well.
Fortunately, we retreated in good time, or we would have surely suffered more casualties,"
reported the demon guard dejectedly.
"A fire source beast?
I had no idea there was a fire source beast hidden in the Eight Fires Valley."
Even the Lords of Darkness were surprised by this revelation.
"There are eight kinds of sacred fire in the Eight Fires Valley, hence the name. The fire source beast is
a renowned controller of the fire. It can display a particularly impressive fighting ability in that sort of
environment. It's no wonder you were no match for it,"
explained one of the Lords of Darkness.
"There have not been any sightings of any fire source beasts in the Absolute Space Sea for a long
time. As it turns out, there's one hidden in the Eight Fires Valley,"
said another Lord of Darkness pensively.
"Even Solomon would not be a match for a fire source beast with the eight kinds of sacred fire.
It's hardly your fault the mission failed.
You may leave,"
added the third Lord of Darkness, waving his hand dismissively.
The demon guard of darkness bowed respectfully and left in a hurry.
"The fire source beast is the most legendary beast in the Absolute Space Sea. If we manage to catch
and tame it, we will gain another powerful ally for the darkness race,"
said one of the Lords of Darkness.
"Tame the fire source beast?"
the others turned their heads and asked in surprise.
"It's said that although the fire source beasts are strong, they are as naive as children.
I think it's certainly possible for us to capture it, lock it up and train it well. I think we could pull it off,"
the first Lord of Darkness continued.
"If we did, it would indeed greatly enhance the darkness race's strength,"
the other two Lords of Darkness said, nodding their approval.
"We should decide on the right time to enter the Eight Fires Valley and get our hands on that fire source
beast.
While we're there, we can collect the precious eight kinds of sacred fire as well.
After that we'll spend some time taming the fiery creature,"
said one of the Lords.
"Okay. Agreed."
The other two nodded their agreement once more.
Another voice then chimed in at that very moment.
"Sirs, Cain has come to see you, together with Solomon of the Time Chamber Sect."
The demon guard had returned, calling out to the Lords of Darkness in a hurry.
The demon guards of darkness were managed personally by the three Lords of Darkness. In fact, they
were their confidants, following them closely at all times.
"Solomon is here to see us. I wonder what the problem is."
All three Lords of Darkness were stunned.
"Bring him in,"
said one of the Lords.
"Yes, sir!" the demon guard replied quickly.
He then scurried out to show Solomon in.
Before long, Solomon walked in, following behind the demon guard.
"My greetings to the Lords of Darkness!"
he said, bowing respectfully before them.
He may have been of noble status and lead the Time Chamber Sect, but he was one level lower than
the Lords of Darkness and so showed them great respect.
"What brings you here, Solomon?"
one of the Lords asked, getting straight to it.
"I'm here to talk about the Time Chamber Sect and the darkness race joining forces in order to deal
with the reincarnation race and Austin.
The Time Chamber Sect has already come to the decision to work with the darkness race to put an end
to the reincarnation race. All we need is for you to agree,"
Solomon answered.
"Is that so?
You want to work with us to take care of the reincarnation race?
That's fantastic news!"
one of the Lords of Darkness said excitedly.
"Okay then!
Seeing as you're so sincere, we, the darkness race, agree to cooperate with you.
From now on, the darkness race and the Time Chamber Sect are allies,"
another Lord of Darkness added.
Solomon was happy, and further discussed with the Lords about their cooperative plans.
At this moment,
finally,
news of what had happened in the Eight Fires Valley spread to the Fallen Divine Valley.
When Winston and the infinity beast caught wind of the events, they could not believe what they were
hearing.
"The nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect and dozens of demon guards of darkness were all sent
out together, and chased Austin to the Eight Fires Valley.
But he was unharmed. In fact, Emory of the Time Chamber Sect and several demon guards at the level
of a god of chaos ended up dying.
Is...
Is that true?"
Winston and the infinity beast felt it was almost too fantastical to be real.
It was only later when more detailed information about the battle spread that they were convinced.
Winston and the infinity beast then finally believed the tales they heard.
