Eligor was promoted to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs for his meritorious efforts in cracking down on traitors. Sitri won this year's election and became the pro guard. Kassifa officially became an apprentice to Goodall Mavorkel.General Paimon became the new Flame Lord

A month later, Kassifa was under investigation and faced charges of treason.

In 2015, Kassifa's charges were dismissed. He was proven to be unrelated to his father's treason. He knew nothing about it.

In 2018, Eligor was promoted to the position of elder.

In 2019, Eligor took full control of the Counsel and sat on the chair of power.

In 2021,Lord Paimon was assassinated.

In 2022, Kassifa recaptured Flame Hall and became the new Flame Lord.

In 2034 Kassifa participated in this year's election.Former elders were assassinated.Kassifa successfully ran for office.

Present day,2034,a week after the election.

That was a long staircase. There seemed to be no end. On both sides of the stairs were equally endless torches, burning green ghostly flames. The spot where the flames gathered faintly revealed an altar. Kassifa silently stepped up the stairs, shuttling through the green light.

Kassifa was wearing a red leather coat with orange cracks on the surface like lava. Compared to him 20 years ago, Kassifa was now more haggard and elderly. His hair was still red, but a bit tarnished, with a few white hairs among them. His eyes were trapped in the eye frame. His cheekbones protruded.

Kassifa stepped up all the stairs and saw a square altar in front of him.There was a circular platform in each of the four corners of the altar.They were the positions of four pro guards.In the middle is a huge boiler.

In the lower right corner, standing was Sitri. His cloak wrapped from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes.

In the upper left corner was Goodall Mavokel. She was wearing a bear skin coat with some leaves.

The position in the upper right corner was empty and has not been attended for over 20 years.At least Kassifa has never seen it before.

Kassifa and Goodall greeted and walked to their lower left corner position. His remaining light glanced at Sitri, who also noticed him. Sitri kept staring at Kassifa, even turning to face him without concealing it.

Kassifa clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his anger burned in his heart. He really wanted to rush over now and tear Sitri apart. But he calmed down and pretended not to see Sitri.

The entire palace vibrated. The boiler burns, emitting strong light and mist.Kassifa and Sitri lowered their heads and knelt on one knee to face the boiler.The projection of Lucifer appears.

Satan's projection only shows one face. It was as terrifying as a nightmare, emitting an aura that made Kassifa feel a little scared. Sharp teeth, huge horns, penetrating the eyes of the human heart.

"Hail Satan!"the guards said.

"Get up, my friends." Lucifer's voice was loud and favorable. It brings a strong temptation to people, as if they would fall in the next second.

"Kassifa, starting today, I have been instructed to appoint you as the fourth pro guard. You will only obey and execute my direct commands. Your loyalty belongs to me and hell."

"Thanks,my lord,"Kassifa said.

After the onboarding ceremony, Kassifa went to the Forbidden Forest to visit Goodall.

Her mansion had no lights on and the door was open. A gust of wind blew, and the sand blew everywhere, as if summoning Kassifa. He followed the source of the wind by intuition and arrived at the greenhouse.

A fly flew in front of Kassifa, constantly making annoying noises. Kassif looked expressionless and glared at the fly. It instantly caught fire and burned.

"Good morning, Kassifa," Goodall said.The sound came from somewhere.

"Good morning,master,"Kassifa said.

"Light it up. Forgive me, I like to meditate quietly in the dark alone."

"Patter!" Kassifa snapped her fingers and the lights around her instantly lit up. Several floating flames appeared shining.

Goodall sat in a tree hole on a big tree.

"Ha—— you have grown a lot. Your Hellfire has reached a high level of cultivation. And now you have become a pro guard like me."

"Thanks to your guidance,"Kassifa said.

"Now it can be said that you are the strongest demon in hell.What are you planning to do next?" Goodall asked.

Kassifa thought for a moment, remained silent, and then said:

"20 years ago, someone blessed me like you do now. I really miss it...there will be blood. All of them shall pay."

"That would be a huge change." Goodall jumped off the tree and walked up to Kassifa with his staff in hand."I am actually interested in both of your brothers."

"You mean?"

"Do you know why I chose you?"

"I will use Hellfire and have potential?

"No.I once made a prophecy. Your brother Billet's background is definitely not as simple as an orphan. The prophecy told him that it would bring a betrayal to the world. And you are the key. His sacrifice to save you changed the fate of both of you back then. The fate of the world. There will be a war in hell here."

"I don't understand..."

"Billet did not truly die. His body was destroyed, but his soul somehow remained. It reincarnated into the human world. Now on a 20 year old man. He should have retained some of Billet's strength and memory."

Kassifa's pupils trembled, her lips trembled, and her heart pounded wildly. He looked at Goodall and didn't know what to say. Until Goodall reminded him.

"Set out on the journey, Kassifa. I believe in you."Goodall said.

"Thank you."Kassifa turned and left.

The sun rose, and the bright sunlight spreaded across the earth, encouraging people to continue moving forward. The road was filled with countless legends. On the other side of the sky was a new hope. Kassifa's back was moving further and further towards the next tomorrow. The end of one journey, the beginning of another.
