[The Ashen King, Dastiel Abasalom, defeated at the hands of me, Ian Silverpeak]
He simply proclaimed: [Henceforth]
[I am the King of the Lower Flame Domain]
Indeed. It is as expected.
On the earth, the one who should have been the most indignant, the one who should have reacted the most, the Fifth Energy Level expert, Pupationer, Savaga Nemasases had already known of the Ashen King's defeat, but it wasn't until Ian's proclamation that he had a sense of delayed realization.
Indeed, of course it was him.
Before the battle began, the Ashen King had already communicated with Pupationer.
As former foes, competitors, co-rulers of the Fiery Flame Land, incompatible strategic partners, old rivals who couldn't exchange a single word upon meeting... whether it was the Ashen King or Pupationer, they both knew they were among the few in this world who could understand each other as 'friends'.
