After a week of planning and preparing Cain was ready to execute his plan now . Now for the last time Cain went around the border of the inner forest leaving bits of tinder on the forest floor . He now followed the path he had made by marking . This took several hours to finish , then he was now ready to execute the plan he had prepared.

It was a Cold and chilly , nearly midnight, and the night sky was picturesque. A black to navy gradient was the backdrop for a full moon; the night sky so clear you could almost see every crater. The moon, a glowing yellowy white, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow. Millions of stars were sprinkled behind it, a few large ones but mostly a multitude of little white pin pricks. Sounds of the trees moving , beasts hunting and screaming could be heard from the forest . Cain Stood on a tall tree top speaking to himself

"Oh Shit , If this fails I might really die . Well this was the best option no regrets" Cain spoke , now in a serious tone

"Let it begin"

Cain's body began to shake and started to slowly turn pale , veins started to bulge all over his body . Blood started to gush out of his ears and slowly run down his neck . His eyes started to glow yellow turning now into a crimson flame. He slowly started to spill blood from his mouth which increased by the second . Slowly hellfire started to envelop his body to help in regenerating his health . Slowly at a distance he could see a red glow in the forest . And as such Flames rose from the tinder he had left behind on the boundary of the forest . Walls of hellfire flames rose sky high in a circle around the inner forest . He gave only one order

"Burn anything that runs away"

The huge wall of flames started to move inward . This was the power of the ability give to him by Artorix . After studying his skill Immortal Hellfire body , he understood that he needed to apply the flame with touch and he was able to control the hellfire completely , on what to burn and what not to and how it should move. Though He won't be able to access its full power now as this consumed ethereal mana which he could control at Peak rank but he was trying to do this to save time.

The huge wall of fire could be seen from miles away , it was similar to hell descended on Earth . But it didn't burn any trees or any beasts which were paralyzed in Fear , the flames only burned the beasts which were running away from it. Soon Souls of these beasts started to rush towards Cain as he controlled the flames .

Cain was now burning brightly as the sun , as his body was unable to handle the load as ethereal mana flowed through him to the wall of flames . As his body started to crumble the immortal hellfire started to heal him. Only few minutes had passed and the flames moved only by 5 km inward as Cain started to loose consciousness

The System began to give warning to him now

[WARNING !!! Host unable to hold the load and his soul may be burned]

This message rang in his head a 100 times unable to continue Cain fainted . The flames were Still far away from the center by alot but he couldn't do anything as he lost consciousness he fell from the tree , straight down as he burned in the flames he slept as he regenerated.

It had been two days since Cain's endeavor, He slowly woke up  with little tinders still on his body . Cain was a little disappointed but didn't dwell on it much as he didn't expect to cover the whole area also he wasn't irrational he expected that there would be very high level beasts towards the center of the forest , thus keeping mid - strong beasts in the range of fire. He guessed around alot of D-B Ranks and a few A rank beasts would be burned.

Now he asked "System how many souls did I acquire ?"

[The Host has 6127 souls in his soul prison , the Host is advised to collect cores of these beasts from the forest  , the host can easily identify them as the emanate mana to the surroundings]

"Hmm , another chore to do , ok how many free stat points do I have?"

[The host has 403 free Stat points and has acquired 46 new skills, The host is still short on a little free Stat points to reach rank A]

"So , i need around 10 to 20  more points , i can get that later . Can you merge these skills?"

[Yes , but the new skill should be named by the Host]

"Name them based on what the do , and merge them?"

[Yes , this process will require some time , about 30 min]

"Ok , now let me distribute my stat points"

After some time Cain asked "show me my stats and new skills"

"Wow , this will take a lot of time " Cain said as he started to inspect each skill.

Unknown to Cain rumor started to go around at the borders of the three kingdoms that the Forest glowed bright as walls of fire raging flames could be seen even from a far distance, The sky was filled with light as it fell every where else . The soldier's at the sight of this horrifying incident ran and informed it to their superiors , but by the time there was no sign of the flames or the light but a breeze of hot , burning air going past them
