The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 85: After the battle, the end.

After their victory in the skirmish with Zhengzheng, not only did Devon and the other rebels fall into despair, but Kahn and Azura's prestige within the Royal Guard also reached its peak.

The power they displayed in the last mission was already remarkable, but this time they even defeated a Fire Master, forcing him to flee in disarray, which was simply unbelievable.

The people of the Fire Nation have always revered strength, and the fact that Azura and Karn displayed such power at such a young age has won the hearts and minds of the Royal Guard.

More importantly, in addition to her absolute power, Azura's talent, wisdom, temperament, and identity are equally remarkable. When all these qualities are concentrated in one person, everyone understands that Azura is bound to achieve amazing success in the future.

Faced with such a blatantly powerful patron, many soldiers' minds immediately wavered.

Azura keenly sensed this atmosphere, so she took the initiative to treat her subordinates with respect and successfully won the loyalty of a squad of royal guards, much to everyone's delight.

Every soldier in the Imperial Guard is an elite member of the Fire Masters. Gaining such a loyal elite force is definitely the biggest gain of this mission.

More importantly, the Imperial Guards were stationed in the palace for a long time and served as the emperor's protectors.

But if even the guards betray him, it would be like walking naked on a knife's edge for Ao Zai, especially since he was unaware of the existence of this sharp knife.

As for Kahn, he truly realized his strength as the "Civil War God". Although his victory over Zhengzheng was the result of his cooperation with Azura, he could feel that even if he faced Zhengzheng alone, he might not be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, they had been holding back their lightning control technique as a trump card in this battle, and hadn't used their full strength.

Although he didn't know how strong Ao Zai was, he figured that even if he was strong, he wouldn't be much stronger than Zheng Zheng, a veteran master. Moreover, Ao Zai's lightning control technique was at a disadvantage against his reverse lightning fire. Considering all this, it was possible that his strength had already surpassed Ao Zai's.

Of course, the pressure that Ao Zai put on him never stemmed from Ao Zai's strength, but from the power, class, army, etc. that Ao Zai represented, in other words, from the country of Fire Kingdom itself.

Even if he is stronger than Aozai, it doesn't mean he can directly kill Aozai. If he does, they will face the backlash of the entire nation, which no one can withstand.

To resolve this, they must return to their original plan—

Find Ershu's whereabouts, uncover the truth behind Aozai's usurpation, and shatter his legitimacy.

At that time, their campaign against Ao Zai would no longer be considered treason or rebellion, but rather a restoration of order, a defense of orthodoxy, and a just war. They would not only not be condemned, but might even gain the support of the people.

Back to the topic

The defeat of Zhengzheng and the others seemed to have completely shattered Devon's hopes. Therefore, when Azura interrogated Devon again a few days later, Devon spilled all the information before Azura even had a chance to use any means, hoping to get a glimmer of hope.

It turned out that he had chosen the wrong side. Although he eventually "realized" his mistake and saved his life, he suffered severe retaliation from Yodan and lived a miserable life every day.

Seeing that there was no chance of turning things around under normal circumstances, he decided to go all out and secretly continue to cultivate the identity of "Aero supporter" in hopes of a future change.

Even if the future cannot be changed, he can still exchange reporting those who support Ai Luo for a fortune to enjoy his old age in peace. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

Fortunately, the change he had been waiting for did come.

Not long ago, he accidentally learned about an organization called the White Lotus Cult, a huge organization that was secretly resisting the invasion of the Fire Kingdom. It is said that the organization's members are spread all over the world, and Admiral Zhengzheng, who defected in his early years, is now one of the elders of the White Lotus Cult.

Upon learning this news, while secretly shocked, he also believed that this was a golden opportunity. So he decisively launched his defection, preparing to join Zhengzheng and others, and then join the White Lotus Sect to start a new career.

Later, Azura and Kahn arrived.

"I must say, you've really given me a big surprise. I think I misjudged you; you do have some ability."

Azura rarely sighed with emotion, she hadn't expected Devon to give her such a pleasant surprise.

Kahn was also very surprised, never expecting that Devon would be able to find out this much information, and that the plan almost succeeded.

Zhengzheng was indeed a member of the White Lotus Cult, and like Ai Luo, he was an elder of the White Lotus Cult.

But when he thought about how the former Fire Nation's general and the former navy officer were secretly dragging his country down, Kahn suddenly felt that it was really quite remarkable that the Fire Nation had been able to develop to its current state under such conditions.

"Besides that, I know quite a few traitors who are still dissatisfied with His Majesty. If only Your Highness could give me another chance!"

Upon hearing Azura's words, Devon seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival, and so he pleaded desperately despite the pain from his wounds, looking humble, pitiful, and twisted.

However, Azura gave her a disdainful look and mocked:

"I can only say that even if you had any sense, things wouldn't have turned out this way. That's why I said that while you do have some ability, your stupidity is undeniable."

"Your Highness?!"

Azura's sudden change made him feel flustered and uneasy, and her next words plunged him into an icy abyss—

"I made no promises whatsoever, so why do you think I'll let you go as long as you tell the truth? You might even have a chance to live if you just said one less word."

Azura shook her head and sighed, bringing Devon's fate to a close.

All I can say is, it's truly a pity.

"No, please."

Boom—!

Devon's expression froze on his final plea and confusion before he slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Even until the very end, he still didn't understand what he had done to offend Azura, what he had said or done wrong that made her so determined to kill him.

Azura withdrew her stance and used her lightning magic to bring him a death without torment, which was the greatest reward she could give Devon for the information he had provided.

What an unexpected tenderness.

Seeing life wither before his eyes for the first time, Kahn felt slightly uncomfortable, but said nothing. Based on the intelligence Devon possessed, even if Azura didn't make a move, he wouldn't allow Devon to live.

However, there are still some issues to be aware of.

"Won't there be any problems if we just kill him like this? What if Aozai asks about it?"

"Kahn asked."

Azura chuckled softly:

"He's just an insignificant little minion. Compared to our achievements this time, he's nothing. I bet Father is overjoyed."

She shrugged and said:

"If he really asks, I'll just 'tell the truth'."
