Following my attack, Flare flew up in the air and attacked him with several small fireballs.

His scales were tough, and our attacks were having little to no effect on him, but it appeared as though he had stopped resisting.

Flare then flew towards me and started healing me again. I had already started feeling dizzy, so I was in no state to continue fighting.

"Boy, did you say Satan is free again?"

He sounded curious. That was good since, in this situation, that would allow me to buy some time.

"Yeah, I thought you dragon could sense everything happening around the world."

"We can, but this world is simply too big to keep track of everything that happens. However, we should have noticed if someone revived Satan."

"I am not sure what you guys were doing then, but he is not just revived; he destroyed an entire city after revival."

"Grrrr.."

The dragon shook his neck and turned around. Since it didn't look like he was trying to attack us, I didn't feel like it was necessary to move at a distance. I was a little wary nonetheless, so I stayed vigilant.

"I wonder who could pull off something like that?"

"I am not sure, but it was a bunch of vampires and an evil spirit that looked like a clown. They unleashed a herd of demons in the town and used the miasma they created to revive Satan."

It looked like he was having a hard time believing my words, so he turned towards Flare. After she confirmed what I said was right, he looked at me again.

"I don't know how they managed to hide this from us, but their next goal might be the revival of the demon lord."

"Yeah, I could hear them talk about something like that. However, I think they will need some time to prepare everything before that. We, ourselves, should be prepared in the meantime."

"If that is the case, then we have no choice."

His whole body started shrinking as he began to take the human form. It was similar to how Flare used to transform, but due to her flames, Flare's looked more magical. This was much on the realistic side.

His human form looked like a normal man with well-built muscles. He had long brown hair and golden eyes. He was wearing an ordinary villager outfit that made him look more or less like a farmer.

"You don't look that surprised. Normally, when people see me transform, I get a louder reaction from them."

"No, I am surprised. I am getting so many surprises these days that I somehow just got used to them."

"Is that so? Anyway, why don't we go inside and ta— before that, sorry for injuring you. Drink this; it will help you."

He slowly walked up to me and passed me a small vial of green potion. Considering his speed just a moment ago, the way he was walking appeared sluggish. Although, I was just glad that this all was finally over.

I took the potion from him and gulped it whole. With Flare's healing and the potion's help, it didn't take long for me to feel better again.

Normally, even with Flare's magic, it would take some time to heal the broken ribs. But because of the portion, I was healed in no time.

"Thanks, I am feeling better now."

He smiled at my response. "Then shall we go in? I would like to talk to you."

He looked unnaturally calm for someone who was just stubbornly trying to kill me because of some destiny a while ago. But I had nothing to complain about. I was just happy that this all ended without us having to die.

The three of us flew towards the cave. I was still borrowing Flare's power to control the flow of enormous mana in me, so I realized I would be fainting any minute now once I let go.

Once we reached inside the cave, I stopped borrowing flare's power, but nothing happened. I didn't feel dizzy at all. Since neither Flare nor I did anything, the potion he gave me was probably what helped me.

"It's as you think; the potion regulates the flow of mana in a being. I realized you were using a lot more mana than your body could handle, which is why I gave you the potion. No need to thank me for that since I was the cause of all this in the first place."

"Alright, but you appeared so worked up just then. What made you change your mind?"

I was going to use the word "wild," but it might appear offensive, so I decided to change my wording to make it sound a bit respectful.

"The prophecy states that if either of the demigods reincarnates, the era of chaos will be back. And if what you say is true, and if Satan is breathing the same air as us, the chances of the demon lord being reincarnated is much higher."

"Alright, that makes sense. I am just glad that you finally believed my words."

"Not yours, but the sun spirit's."

I had no idea why he was having such a difficult time believing my words, but since it made no difference to me at this point, I decided not to pursue this matter.

"Well, anyway, since that matter is settled, and since you are no longer trying to kill us, can we now talk about this cave?"

"Yes, regarding that, I know I am not in the position to ask any favors, not after all this.. but I would like to request something from you."

"From me?"

The two of us, along with Flare, started walking towards the center of the cave.

"Yes, I would like to borrow the power of your spirit to revive someone from the dead."

For once, I was shocked. But then I realized there were ways to bring dead demons back to life. So, getting an ordinary person back to life should also be possible. However, I realize those were dark arts, and they required some sort of sacrifice to be performed. And even after everything, the process wasn't perfect as it always had some flaws.

I shook my head to compose myself and think straight. "What kind of help do you need from me?"
