A Man Like None Other

Upon hearing this, Jared was instantly overjoyed. He was certain that anything taught by Vermilion Demon Lord would be exceptional.

Jared was fervently gathering the flame filaments within the cave. Only after he had amassed a palm-sized bundle of fire did Jared finally cease his efforts.

“Drop your blood essence into this flame!” Vermilion Demon Lord exclaimed.

In haste, Jared did as instructed. The moment a drop of his blood essence fell into the flame, the fire seemed to come alive. It danced with an apparent joy.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jared hastily turned his gaze to Vermillion Demon Lord, eager to know what to do next.

The enigmatic Vermilion Demon Lord leaned in close to Jared, whispering a cryptic verse into his ear.

Jared, on the other hand, was murmuring an incantation. As he did so, a beam of spiritual light emerged, causing the ball of fire to suddenly split apart. In an instant, it transformed into over a dozen small mice, all ablaze with flames.

The fur was a vibrant shade of red, reminiscent of a blazing fire, and the little mice were squeaking adorably.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jared was utterly dumbstruck, because he could distinctly sense the presence of each and every tiny mouse, and every little mouse’s vision would also appear in his mind.

“Don’t be surprised, this is just a small token. Once you help me restore my physical body, I can teach you so much more!”

“This breed of crimson mouse was created using flames and contains your blood essence. Therefore, their actions are all under your control. You can now send these crimson mice ahead to scout the path. However, they can only be used for reconnaissance. After all, they’re merely imbued with a drop of your blood essence, which doesn’t grant them any combat abilities. Once your blood essence is depleted, these crimson mice will vanish too.”

Vermilion Demon Lord addressed Jared!

Jared nodded, finding those crimson mice exceptionally adorable.

Because these crimson mice were formed from the transmogrification condensed from the flame filaments within the cave, they didn’t experience any discomfort in the cave environment.

This was also why Vermilion Demon Lord had asked Jared to gather the flame filaments.

Shortly, Jared started directing the crimson mice toward different junctions, while he himself waited patiently at the original spot.

Every movement of the crimson mice, Jared could accurately sense. Even the places seen by these rats could manifest within Jared’s mind.

Luckily, Jared’s knowledge was as vast as the sea. Otherwise, the influx of information brought by the dozen crimson mice would have overwhelmed his mind.

Numerous crimson mice moved at an astonishing speed, constantly scurrying within the cave.

“Just wait. I doubt we’ll see any results anytime soon. While we’re waiting, I suggest you set up a defensive array around us. It’ll help ward off any beasts lurking in this cave!” After those crimson mice had left, Vermilion Demon Lord spoke to Jared.

Jared stared blankly at Vermillion Demon Lord. He had this persistent feeling that this guy must know something, yet he just wouldn’t spill it.

Jared didn’t say anything. Instead, he drew a simple defensive array around them.

After all, the cave was incredibly quiet. There wasn’t a single trace of any demon beasts.

Drawing up a defensive array was merely an act of seeking psychological comfort.

After completing all his tasks, Jared found himself idly waiting for the results from the crimson mice. He casually held the Demon Flogger, occasionally lashing out at Maurice. Each strike elicited a loud cry from Maurice.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

At this point, Maurice couldn’t express how much he regretted his actions. Why on earth had he provoked Jared?

This guy was nothing short of a devil, capable of tormenting himself to such an extent.

Vermilion Demon Lord couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Jared amusingly chastising Maurice.

It seemed that this fellow was also rather petty, which only further matched the temperament of Vermillion Demon Lord!

As Jared was in the midst of chastising Maurice, he abruptly halted, his brow furrowing immediately after.

“Did you bump into something?”

Vermilion Demon Lord looked at Jared, casually inquiring.
