"That's strange," Arthur mumbled as he flew through the clouds in his draconic form, with massive rock pillars jutting out from random locations. "With her cultivation base, Lady Cindera would have already caught us. Her suspicious absence feels even more threatening."
"Your worry is needless, Arthur," Maximilian revealed, his imposing dragon form casting a wide shadow on the clouds below him. "She did not chase us because of the damage to the World Tree. She stayed back to put out the fire."
After a few minutes of flight, they descended onto the ground, where the grassland had turned into uneven terrain of grey rocks, the air filled with Demonic Soulforce.
"Remember your promise," Draven said as he jumped off Maximilian. "Never set foot in the Demon Kingdom again."
"Yes, I know," Maximilian retorted as he transformed back into his humanoid form, his brows furrowed. "Still, you have to come out and play with us."
