Skull Elf
At first i pictured Wang Zhong kneeling towards Lavel and offering Lavel the choice as his benefactor..... Then it hit me... WZ is really smart, I picture him extorting a promise from the fire demon elder....in exchange for phumetheus’s life.... the fire demon’s would swear to due no harm to an member of the earthling faction (or maybe even protect them).... maybe the elder would make a counter offer for as long as WZ lives, or some finite amount of time.... Of course we all know that Celeste is practically in heat now, she would probably beg WZ to take her, even willing to play second fisdle to Scarlet as long as WZ will accept her
