The situation on the ground was completely different from the fierce battle on the floating ice.
When the fire was gone, the outside world was scorched and filled with thick smoke.
Amidst the smoke, Angor suddenly saw a bright spot. If someone took a closer look, they would see that it was a small metal sphere that looked like an eye with a pair of small wings.
The small ball floated up and down in the thick smoke. As its eyelids opened and closed, there seemed to be a flash of light.
Inside his wind domain, Angor closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings by following the position of the sphere.
The sphere was a scout puppet, which could be used as an extension of the wizard's eye. It could see everything as far as the eye could see. In fact, the effect was exactly the same as the level-2 cantrip, Wizard Eye.
However, Wizard Eye could cover a wide range. Even with Angor's modification, the scout puppet could only see as far as five kilometers away.
However, the scout puppet had another advantage. If the Sorcerer's Eye was destroyed, the Sorcerer's body would also be damaged. However, even if the Scouting Puppet was destroyed, the Sorcerer would at most feel a stab with his Spirit, but the damage to the Sorcerer's body was minimal.
Due to the interference of the wind domain and the flames, he couldn't send his scout puppets back to him in real time. But now that the fire was gone and Fafnir gave him permission, he could do a lot more things.
Originally, he wanted to have the scouting puppet fly up and get closer to the floating ice to see what was going on. However, it didn't fly more than a hundred meters before it was caught by a Bone-winged Demon that appeared out of nowhere. After a moment of confusion, it mumbled some unknown words and crushed the scouting puppet into pieces.
After that, he sent out two more scouting puppets. Both of them ended up as scrap metal in the air. In the end, Angor decided not to fly to the floating ice and let the scout puppet wander around Rasudran.
Under the cover of the thick smoke, the scouting puppets roamed the city, but it was much safer than flying high up in the sky. There was almost no obstacle along the way. Unfortunately, there was a limit to how far the scout puppet could go. Angor could only wander around the southern suburbs.
Speaking of which, Angor didn't dare to go out when Rasudran was still peaceful. Unexpectedly, it was only after Rasudran fell into the flames of war that he was fortunate enough to have a taste of this Demon Citadel that had stood tall in the Void for so long.
While observing Rasudran's condition, he also began searching for any signs of human activity. If possible, it would be best to find Sennefer.
To his surprise, Rasudran was completely deserted. Even the demons were nowhere to be found. It was as if the entire city had been purged.
It was silent and filled with a strange atmosphere.
"Strange. Demons always show up in the sky. But I've been on the ground for a long time, and I haven't seen a single one. Where did they go?" He controlled the puppet to fly toward the main city.
They flew for a while. Apart from the scorched earth, the occasional meteor craters, and the thick smoke everywhere, they did not find any other life forms.
Just as he was about to change directions, he saw a cloud floating in the sky not far away.
The low cloud that appeared out of nowhere shrouded an area of thick smoke.
From afar, Angor couldn't see anything clearly. It looked like a natural cage surrounded by smoke and clouds.
As he got closer, he could hear the sound of rain falling. At the same time, he also heard the sounds of explosions and fighting coming from the smoke.
It sounded like someone was fighting inside.
It was a pity that as long as the scouting puppet was covered by energy, the sounds and images it heard would be distorted. He could hear the sounds inside, but because the energy inside was too chaotic, he couldn't distinguish the specific situation.
Since there was a fight going on, it couldn't be between demons at this time. It had to be between humans and demons.
Could it be that Sennefer ran into other demons after she left the city?
He wanted to go inside to check out the situation, but before he could do so, he saw a ruined building nearby from the corner of his eye.
He saw a red light flashing in that direction.
Angor wasn't worried about exposing himself. He still had more of his scout puppet. He considered for a moment and slowly moved toward the red light.
As for the area under the rain, he planned to send another scout puppet there.
The scouting puppet flashed through the thick smoke and followed the red light into the ruins. However, he didn't see the red light again. Apart from a large pile of ruins and an alley covered in thick smoke, there was nothing else here.
It was almost as if the red light was just an illusion.
After wandering around the ruins for a while, he only saw the corpse of a demon that might have been smashed to death by a meteor. There was nothing else.
He thought for a moment and looked at the alley covered in smoke.
Since there weren't any ruins, the only way to get here should be this alley. Perhaps he could find something in the alleyway.
With that in mind, the scout puppet entered the alley.
It wasn't long. Angor soon reached the end of the alley.
There was still no trace of the "red light". However, he saw an open door.
The door was installed on the ground. Inside, he saw a dark staircase that led to an unknown underground.
It was a long and dark tunnel. At first, Angor noticed that the tunnel was going downwards. But as the scout puppet went deeper, the tunnel slowly moved upward.
Angor could see footprints on the stairs all along the way. The footprints weren't covered by dust, which meant someone must have passed by here not long ago. Angor guessed that this was the "red light" he saw from the corner of his eye.
Angor kept moving forward. It didn't take long for him to see the exit.
As soon as the puppet came out of the exit, the image it transmitted to Angor was distorted for a brief moment. Angor checked carefully and realized that the puppet's image was damaged to a certain extent due to the extreme heat.
The source of the intense heat was the extremely wide lava pool behind the exit.
The scout puppet was now near a pool of lava that was emitting a bright red light. The intense heat caused the air to change its shape.
It was obvious that the lava pool wasn't created by Wildfire. It must have been here before Rasudran's incident happened.
Through the scout puppet's eyes, Angor could clearly see that the lava pool was divided into blocks. There was a large furnace near each block.
Near the furnace, there were piles of various metal materials, as well as tools needed for calcining.
"Is this Rasudran's smithy?" Angor wondered in a low voice. This place was obviously a place to forge weapons and armor.
Due to the extreme heat, the image kept getting distorted. Angor had to let the scout puppet fly higher. But when the scout puppet flew higher, Angor noticed that the lava pool was filled with all kinds of strange-looking weapons.
There were giant axes, spikes, spears … and even giant machetes.
These extremely wild looking weapons were piled up everywhere.
As an alchemist, Angor could easily tell that the weapons were all tiered at the very least. Some of them were even comparable to mid-tier alchemy items.
More importantly, he could tell that these weapons were not newly crafted. Instead, they looked like weapons that had been polished thousands of times and were cherished by their owners.
But they were all lying on the ground, and their owners were nowhere to be seen.
"Huh?" Angor raised an eyebrow. He saw something.
He ordered the scout puppet to lower and looked at a giant butcher's knife. To be more precise, he saw something black on the ground near the butcher's knife.
He couldn't smell it or feel it, but his instinct told him that it was a pool of blood.
Next, he saw the same thing next to the other weapons. If his guess was correct, these could be the blood of the weapon's owner. But if the weapon was left here, where did its owner go? Did they get killed? But even if they did, why were their bones gone? Only a pool of blood was left behind?
Demon corpses weren't worth much, but they were still valuable. Usually, human wizards would collect the corpses of demons after a battle. If they had a chance to sell them later, they could earn some money.
But if humans did this, these weapons wouldn't be left here.
Even if the Magi looked down on the value of these weapons, the materials used to forge them were all extremely rare abyssal metals.
So it was possible that humans didn't do this. But if it wasn't done by humans, then what was going on at the scene?
"Don't tell me he was eaten by some monster?" Angor mumbled.
Suddenly, he heard a series of cracking noises coming from behind the furnace. Along with the noise, he heard someone speaking in the language of demons in a mocking tone.
"So I was right. There's a fish that escaped the net. No wonder that greedy old bastard didn't let me eat other demon corpses. It's all because of you!"
Then he heard another voice speaking in the language of demons. This time, the voice was filled with fear and anxiety.
"Don't come any closer! Ah! Let me go! Please let me go! "At first, it sounded like begging. But as the cracking noises continued, the begging turned into screams of agony." Flower Sparrow, why did you do this? Kaido saved you! How could you kill him?! And you killed all my people! I'll never forgive you! Inferno Slaves will be reborn in the fire! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! "
