The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121




"A map!"

The moment Kieran raised the gun to his hand, Zackary gave the answer immediately to prevent another beating .

A map?

Kieran was stunned .

"What map?" He asked .

However, this time around he didn't get the answer he was looking for .

Even though he pointed the gun to Zackary's forehead, Zackary shut his mouth .

"So this is the attitude of a collaborator?" Kieran asked coldly .

"And I suppose yours is? This is the first time we truly work together, so both of us need the process to get familiar with each other . While in my humble opinion, for starters, I think we can abandon these kinds of violent acts against me . "

Zackary smiled looking at the gun .

Kieran frowned and ultimately lowered the gun .

"See, it's a great start for us! Now, I need to cover up Albunai's death and bring every necessary preparation for the auction to you . While I do that, all you need to do is continue to expand your influence," Zackary said with a smile .

"I don't need orders from you . What I want is the details of the plan, I don't think the auction will proceed smoothly when an item of Great Swamp's concern is related," Kieran pretended to be stupid and replied .

Not only because Kieran was currently pretending to be a reckless, hot-tempered person, he still wanted Zackary to lower his guard completely .

Obviously, Kieran's previous acting was award-worthy, Zackary didn't even doubt it for one second, instead, he elaborated in further detail .

"We won't disclose the plans to them beforehand . What we need is a big stage, a stage that can hold every performer at once, then… we can sit back and enjoy the show . The whole "show" has nothing to do with us, after all, that "item" will be acquired "accidentally" . "



Zackary was limping out of the room as he elaborated .

Kieran, on the other hand, shouted his orders to his men, telling them to move out before Zackary even left the room .

When the messy hustling noises were heard from behind him, Zackary who was limping away smiled even brighter .

"This is really… an unexpected surprise!" He muttered to himself softly .

After he left Dublin Street and made sure he wasn't followed, Zackary walked into a secluded street and dialed the public phone in the only telephone booth .

The secluded place shouldn't have had a public phone booth to begin with but it appeared out of nowhere a fear months ago despite its usage being almost zero .

"Our plan can start now," Zackary spoke through the phone .

"Mm . "

A cold voice on the other end replied .

Zackary hung up the phone after that and headed to his temporary lodging point .

He needed to settle Albunai's matters and although it wasn't easy while also requiring quite a hefty cost from him, compared to the ultimate outcome, the cost paid was incomparable .

"Great Swamp, Perforation Sting, God of Forest City…"


Zackary mumbled the names repeatedly .

HIs limping leg was recovering by the second and his pace quickly increased .

After a while, he vanished from the street .



When Zackary left the street, another figure also vanished from the shadows .

. . .

Back in Footer's original office in Dublin Street, Kieran was there in his seat holding a red crystal sphere .

The crystal wasn't big and only half the size of a thumb yet it had a dazzling layer of glint on it . It wasn't a reflection of light but it came from the crystal itself .

[Name: Fire Lineage Essence]

[Type: ETC]

[Rarity: Rare]

[Attribute: 1 . Consume; 2 . Embedding]

[Prerequisite: None]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: It is the crystallized essence of a half-fiend bloodline, it looks like a dazzling gem but it is actually coagulation of the blood . It is quite the supplement for a fire elemental fiend .

. . .

[Consume: Consume it to acquire some Burning Flame Bloodline]

[Embedding: Embed it on weapons or defensive items to acquire Fire effect]

[Note 1: There is a certain percentage of failure when consuming and will cause harm if the consumption fails]

[Note 2: There is a certain percentage of failure when embedding, the essence crystal and equipment will be destroyed together!]

… . . .

Without further ado, Kieran tossed the fire essence to Fire Raven who was hiding at the top of the roof beams .

Fire Raven caught [Fire Lineage Essence] with its beak excitedly, it lifted its head upwards and swallowed the crystal essence without a second thought .

Then, the Fire Raven was shining in a scarlet red brilliance . It seemed like it was transformed into a ball of fire, burning ceaselessly while increasing in temperature .

After a few minutes, the scarlet red brilliance faded from Fire Raven, revealing its new form before Kieran's eyes .

The raven grew bigger in size and its body was painted red thoroughly, the only area with black left was a spot in the middle of its forehead . Its round dark eyes had glares sharper than a falcon .

When the sharp glare and its sharp raven beaks and claws were put together, people wouldn't see it as a raven, instead, they might mistake it for a valiant falcon .

But in fact, the Fire Raven was countless times stronger and better than a falcon .

[Name: Fire Raven General]

[Type: Fiend]

[Rank: Above Average]

[Attack: Strong]

[Defense: Average]

[Attribute: 1 . Agility III, 2 . Transform Fire III, 3 . Spitfire II]

[Effect: Infuse III]

[Remark: After consuming a High Fiend's meat, the matured Fire Raven leveled up . It can carry out scouting missions, contact people and is a definite choice for an ancillary attack]

. . .

[Agility III: Increase flying speed by +2, nimbleness +2]

[Transform Fire III: Able to transform into a ball of fire with Strong attack . Able to adhere to a surface and float]

[Spit Fire II: Able to emit a fireball with Average attack as a long-range attack (no further than 35 meters), 3 times per day]

. . .

[Infuse II: Able to infuse itself into its companion or user's fire, boosting the fire to a decent level . ]

. . .

"Not bad!"

Kieran commented as he caressed the feathers on the Fire Raven's neck .

Although [Infuse II] still had not shown a precise description like "increasing fire attack by 1" or another similar effect, the effect itself had an obvious enhancement and Fire Raven's enhancement was visible as well .

As one of Kieran's indispensable aides, Kieran was very delighted to see Fire Raven's enhancement, it was some solid extra power for him .

More importantly, the enhancement would not just stop there .

Kieran believed [Merman's Meat] and [Fire Lineage Essence] were rare but there must be many others in the current dungeon world .

He might even encounter extra surprises, like a supplement for Frost Wolf pup .

However, that was a matter for the future .

Now, Kieran had to read through the notifications before his eyes .
