The Almighty Dragon General

He produced a bottle of Chaos Absinthe and sat on top of the wall. Then, James sipped the liquor while he watched Yehria thrash about in the sea of flames. "Hemera! Fennec! You need to make a bigger fire! Otherwise, it'll take forever to get the fish fully cooked!"
Shortly after James said that, the blue flames and Galeat Winds swirling around Yehria turned into an eerie shade of purplish gold.
"James, what do you want from me?" Yehria's voice was strained and shaky as she endured harsher torture.
James took a gulp of Chaos Absinthe and said with a grin, "It seems roasting a fish can make it smarter and improve its memory!"
"You..." Yehria whimpered, "You just want to find out where the Waitara Path's soul spirit is, right? I'll tell you where he is! Just stop this, and I'll tell you right away!"
James' brows arched. "I think you should try to resist a bit more."
"No... No! I'm going to be turned into ashes already! Stop this now! Otherwise, you'll never know where the Waitara Path's soul spirit is. You won't be able to save the Dark Heavenly Path, and you'll walk right into their trap!"

James curled his lips. "I have very little patience. I'm sure you know that all too well."
Yehria stumbled to her feet and let out a weary sigh.
"You're a smart man, James. You know how powerful Waitara is. So, you should probably put up a soundproof formation before interrogating me..."
"That won't be necessary." James smiled enigmatically. "Even if Waitara himself or the Caeloros Gods had found my formation, they wouldn't be able to see or hear what was happening in here without my permission. Are you trying to buy time by saying that?"
As James slowly raised his hand, Yehria hurriedly shook her head.
"I'll say it! I'll tell you everything right now!"
Yehria sighed, "The Waitara Path's soul spirit instructed me to disguise myself as him and lure you into the Origin of Evils and Dread District. That will give him the opportunity to seize control of the Haleth Realm."
James responded, "Oh... Is that all?"
Yehria nodded vigorously. "I swear by my status as Tai Chi that I'm telling the truth!"
James asked flatly, "How did you, a
