122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPzkovCyXg

.................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfL0Jxyboj

Silence filled the forest.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSghJew4gII

Even the air itself felt heavy after everything that had happened.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZEycdbKmk

Khaled stood up slowly while the weak darkness surrounding his body gradually faded away.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLXTtYMsXC

And on the ground…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5sOZYfMU5

Abdulrahman and Sage Saif were both unconscious.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmSow4PfkX

Khaled stared at his hands for a few moments.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Hv1ICtOq

He could still remember that violet aura.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBgdjDaJ1K

And the terrifying pressure that spread across the area when Shadow appeared.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp77OvT1PHJ

But—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhjHB22u0K

there was no time to think about it now.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xbD5kSz3

Khaled quickly rushed toward Abdulrahman.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylhnWin4K3

“Abdulrahman!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfEY03TuXw

He shook him anxiously.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8R6P9C4v

After a few moments…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KXbt7xjq5

Abdulrahman slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJB8kgyMuB

Then he sat up, holding his head in pain.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0B0vlxji

“…What happened?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30nkyelWg3

But before Khaled could answer—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw560dNkSx

a weak cough echoed nearby.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOlr8UeMgU

They immediately turned around.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRMwrYt37M

Saif had begun regaining consciousness as well.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1LNCGNXr

He looked around silently for a few moments.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21eGp0A1O

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3RM6FkJDp

As if he understood that something horrifying had happened there.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNNEbzYIVD

But…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQY7IybQwu

he said nothing.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4QxtRzr9L

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG2LZvXs0u

Several days passed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TqWQBLlqI

And the village of Aros slowly returned to life.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV5r8JHyze

The villagers rebuilt their homes.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODo5J4rgSY

Fires returned to the furnaces.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHaoiB6Oxy

Children began running through the streets again.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHljsexVr

But despite all of that…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLR228fdap

a heavy feeling still lingered over the village.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZM4X8IpCS

As if the danger had not truly ended yet.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxWT36CD04

One evening—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTfHhC7uqq

Abdulrahman sat alone on a rooftop while staring at the sunset in silence.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2klZ8djcN8

He slowly clenched his fist.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzM1Y48iN7

Then remembered that moment…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZUWIxtsug

When he stood helpless before Rose.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHFOCfadqx

And when he watched Khaled fighting alone.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iqg4EYmFb

“…I’m still weak.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lfCm2xsU7

Suddenly—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrjohVN8D

Saif appeared behind him quietly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1tCZTY8qI

“I know why you’re upset.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBPtZvovmr

Abdulrahman quickly turned toward him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmNnTFzdms

But Saif calmly sat beside him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ukjzTCRl

“You see Khaled growing stronger… and you think you’re falling behind him.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ryrZWUsTZ

Abdulrahman lowered his gaze silently.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYeJgXyPRy

But Saif smiled faintly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2iCytGtV3

“Don’t worry.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS78zU6vuQ

Then he slowly stood up.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cUKDtWYYj

“I’ll make you stronger than you can imagine.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaj9lc7zkC

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ALIXQ4k7

The next morning—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXUWkepRRm

Abdulrahman stood in the middle of the training field while Saif faced him calmly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYLojBimDr

“Power isn’t just about reckless explosions.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzADaIGOC

Saif raised his hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIc7fvBjwj

Suddenly—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKHyWwfOt

small sparks of lightning gathered in his palm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHcaMDKpu7

They began spinning rapidly until they formed a compressed sphere of electricity.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKwzIJN2GQ

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZjAoseOL1

“What is that?!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0hv2v6vP

Saif answered calmly:

“The Lightning Sphere technique.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPIhYFtdjo

Then he looked directly at him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7vss0pBKO

“But you… will create your own version.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQTTTvYfHh

Abdulrahman slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVlMIkyBF7

Flames gradually appeared within his palm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUWg3p6lSs

At first—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYUfa4j4ZV

they were unstable.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcGQ4jNm8j

Exploding and disappearing repeatedly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBmF1ZVKj

But Abdulrahman kept trying.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr4Dwxv056

Again…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF975TLxoI

and again…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpKi7N5yi7

dozens of times.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc5JqUZEpy

Until—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx5ouWJv4x

the flames slowly began rotating inside his hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR13QRqTDeF

A small sphere of fire finally formed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri7BkLhZWs

His eyes widened excitedly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpcJwcaG0y

“I did it…!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7nyy1a2bH

Then the sphere exploded directly in his face.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpO8fyEZQS

He stumbled backward coughing while smoke rose from his hair.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0YZ5CLOxv

Saif stared at him for a few seconds…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5wdGGnwQA

before bursting into laughter.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxw3JyUOg

“Hahahaha!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2Zzhks6f

Abdulrahman shouted angrily:

“That’s not funny!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVLrKAJCsa

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72HEQ57XR7

Days passed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx9s7u392w

And the training became far harsher.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTB2RP0f23

Abdulrahman never stopped.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q5ptzLT56

Every single day…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhRacOyGYV

he failed dozens of times.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c3xw3Y6ts

But each time—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Y4VLkXUs

he stood up again.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOe8dvlRZh

Until one day—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEad5LCCb

he stood in the center of the field and extended his hand forward.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiMOp3QCvB

Flames erupted violently inside his palm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QlqqPAIs9

But this time…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKjgk9PS8o

they didn’t explode.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXCjYTKaa

Instead, they stabilized.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPl1CqZ9MS

A massive sphere of fire appeared before him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFlgP5BuJ8

Spinning with terrifying heat.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmLLjEQePM

Even the air around it began trembling.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnGoJyDGN

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwTUSMyeC0

“Finally…!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOpceTcJfr

But while searching for Saif—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UAz3esxhB

he noticed something in the distance.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjSwinksqC

Khaled.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4IAlZsezJ

Training alone deep within the forest.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2znU4Uia

Abdulrahman approached quietly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaD37ZHnwE

And there—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iFayhrphP

he saw something strange.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2WLOd8uhN

The shadows around Khaled slowly began moving.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WcrAwfR5j

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiRXk6VdmI

his body merged completely into the shadow beneath a nearby tree.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpRBKZhAao

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened in shock.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmj8xQNY99

“He blended into the shadows…?!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHKVwrt6K5

A few moments later—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKPhhIdaVx

Khaled emerged from another nearby shadow while breathing heavily.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6eNARqjwI

It was obvious he still hadn’t mastered the technique completely.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h26VZLGeM

But he had succeeded.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEv6oRQ3AY

And not only that—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd8xIYmMsv

he had also begun developing the Dark Blade technique he once used against Shadow himself.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFLOgZJ5p1

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijQls6TLN

“So even you are evolving this fast…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mb2eCNleO

He clenched his fist tightly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrIEnBQZl5

“I won’t fall behind either.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVkXi43Af9

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykLVsKsqt

The next day—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrur7pcMDbu

Abdulrahman stood once again before Saif.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHnDvyHdD

“I want more.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7gIRSmvp

Saif smiled faintly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaEssacLjQ

“Good.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z5oAmb6fX

Then he pointed toward Abdulrahman’s arm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENxmaTLqza

“Focus your energy into one point.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWneF6Jcg

Abdulrahman closed his eyes.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKq4tmmhqP

The flames slowly began gathering inside his arm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkw6ULzk2a

The pain was unbearable.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ywUwfrZN

As if his arm were burning from the inside.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIUqhnGAn

But he endured it.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ8oiw0Ydb

Until—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ozDO7pqs

fire suddenly erupted around his entire arm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrueq9BNP6Z

Transforming it into a blazing flaming arm.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLI1kZURYY

His eyes widened in shock.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo6B6BCvEK

“This… is incredible.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcVOFg17d

But Saif merely smiled.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcEyFX4LwV

“This is only the beginning.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2nTqVwJJ

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPuHTSVq2o

That night—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02NOzmMFzQ

Saif guided Abdulrahman toward an abandoned place within the Shadow Village.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aaihoKkxt

Zira’s destroyed house.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLJCTjbICw

Dust covered every corner.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCrC7mpyO

Broken wood lay scattered across the floor.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPrKENR0r

But Saif walked toward the old wooden ground and opened a hidden hatch beneath it.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNU70W8Tl

“Come down.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn85toGBMX

They descended into an ancient underground chamber.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnGqZesjl

Filled with books and scrolls.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaorW1yE4Q

Abdulrahman slowly stepped forward until he stopped before a dark book carrying the symbol of the Flame Clan.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5xpshSeHN

Saif said quietly:

“Zira brought this book from your grandfather before he died.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1KQaMvFQ

Abdulrahman slowly took the book.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE1TTSyvgB

And once he opened it—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwteZvhh09m

his eyes rapidly moved across the pages.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OaM8H4G1

Techniques.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJJg85ocqV

Combat styles.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgssk0jI8CY

Methods of controlling fire.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkAifnOGTx

The secrets of the Flame Clan itself.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7w6GdoGrE

From that day onward—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPweosFwO49

Abdulrahman isolated himself inside that chamber.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn14qZtEWG

Training.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfTWRaSdVl

Reading.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFN0WEvXOg

Trying again and again.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZPQqtrfb9

Until—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67hxqcMU3P

the color of his flames slowly began changing.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWJJKImyCP

From red…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgspDN7qkBd

to blue.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRoQfxh59t

But every time he tried compressing those flames—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzKY6Nkz9

he failed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xs7dQQJ8t

Then, within one of the pages…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLd4vAqDax

he found a strange encoded sentence:

“You will find ultimate power… where true power exists.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymNRHeanJp

His eyes narrowed.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAKhqSIeFj

“What does that even mean…?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqBk82GcIE

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9nYexMDno

Hours later—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Rbu1gKvK

Saif entered the chamber.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWycfSzY1O

Abdulrahman immediately asked him about the code.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjoEYnxyBt

But Saif calmly replied:

“I’ll decipher it later.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RUx2Jt1RN

Then he looked at him seriously.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIzwzjgSP8

“Until then… keep training.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFnG4QVgnE

Abdulrahman sighed in frustration and continued reading.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK4yIYAL4x

But suddenly—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ3bWTArc9

he froze.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtfkEumiW

There was a message written at the end of the book.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWVKzp7df9

In his grandfather’s handwriting.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAvIz66jp6

“If you are reading this message… then I’m certain you have become worthy of obtaining the true power of fire.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKi13WZ1ob

“…And that you’ve learned to rely on yourself.”

“Always remember… I’m proud of you.”

“And I love you, my grandson.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2GUce54xB

Silence filled the chamber.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyIbsVnXp

Then a quiet tear rolled down Abdulrahman’s face.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIJMlbvp1x

He smiled faintly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt4tzC8Vkm

“…I love you too, grandfather.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfavC0Nwgq

But—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy99XMxCbbN

another sentence was written behind the page.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFWRZxpjyE

“The Secret Flame Technique.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWe4H7p9e

“Turn your entire body into fire.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPY5crES9

His eyes widened in shock.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnwRjc6IN9

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X9n7dsInE

Abdulrahman immediately rushed toward the training field.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHpXqMhSnB

Then closed his eyes.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbkQIPhM2p

“If focusing power into one arm is possible…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBAiuevhI

he clenched his fist.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3XmMtCRa

“Then maybe I can do it with my entire body.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7rWIsc24T

Flames violently spiraled around him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqSrw5CWQ

The temperature rose dramatically.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ6bS4D9F4

Then—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTu0ueNjv

his entire body transformed into living fire.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjDToS1PMT

A blazing human figure.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqnqrlKH5U

But after only a few seconds—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCnQbQ4Rpa

he collapsed to his knees while gasping heavily.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx49Gh3XRc

Almost all of his energy had vanished.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn65LVP99qi

He stared at his trembling hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHUBnnXPZ8

“It consumes all my power…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzh8S0NJPs

Then slowly raised his head.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIIrQ17eyb

“I need to become stronger.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0RD9hMuBM

....................

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUixE0r07XA

The following morning—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWPM0TBae0

Abdulrahman went searching for Khaled.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cKHZ0eVtS

But suddenly—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImTdT0wDEM

the shadow beneath a nearby tree shifted strangely.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrFtes4Jje

Then Khaled emerged from it directly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSLnIWRvlr

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFFWDqEF6s

“So you finally mastered it…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHimDHjnbKw

Khaled smiled faintly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3EJYBkLY

“Almost.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2fFGBlB59

Before they could continue speaking—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMWRpWphW7

Saif suddenly appeared behind them.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8z55G94dt

“I believe both of you are finally ready.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5GtNZkRsC

The two immediately looked toward him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcABM88u3

Saif turned toward Abdulrahman.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXo4BxuatZ

“I deciphered the code.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAsiYwME7

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened instantly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZyjMspZvo

“Really?!”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCveilHIr

Saif nodded.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds64rj4IVG

“You will find ultimate power where true power exists…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0B2VVbdb

Then he looked directly at him.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXntrwsylqm

"The message wasn’t speaking about power in a symbolic sense. Since this knowledge belongs to the Flame Clan, it refers to the place where fire itself exists in its purest and most natural form."

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK6OWWfr0h

He paused briefly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfchAXgebBK

“And no place embodies true fire more than the volcano beneath the Shadow Village.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuvNwlNMNi

Silence filled the air for a moment.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ82avlUobF

Then Saif continued:

“The location your grandfather described… is there.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YgHxWiDg6

Abdulrahman clenched his fist excitedly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma43VwvOce

But this time—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEnuOm71kX

Saif approached Khaled instead and whispered quietly into his ear:

“There’s also a rumor…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsngqWLCJTk

“…about an ancient ring hidden deep within the volcano’s core.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKB7F470k

Khaled’s eyes widened.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfkPFA6OyF

“A ring?”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG6sZukqJJ

Saif smiled faintly.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr29hlb5FB

“They say it grants its wearer power that matches the nature of their own energy.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB4ymhTZ5v

Khaled immediately became excited.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf3uSW5s4M

As for Abdulrahman—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXwfXsqNfI

he smiled confidently.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dCeK3lw3H

“Then…”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7mtkmMj3u

Flames ignited softly within his hand.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AOiMurAhB

“Let’s head to the Shadow Village.”

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpRuPeG1v

And somewhere far away…

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCniyJDzZS

deep within the volcano—

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1U4IaRGlb

two crimson eyes slowly opened within the darkness.
