Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"What do you have to say now? This scene doesn't seem to be fake," Vivian remarked. Although she did not take a closer look, she could easily tell from her broad experience that what they were seeing was too real to be a hallucination.

Rocky somehow thought the same thing. But after a moment, his eyes narrowed as though he discovered something. Out of the blue, he summoned a flame from his palm and threw it at the dismembered corpses in front of them.

In an instant, the remains were engulfed by the blazing flame.

"But I am just telling the truth. Why do you think the young master wants us to go through this cave?" Rocky asked, smiling gently.
