59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4noWRCVPZu

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rXLRjrRX

Silence filled the forest.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ2jQlvQM0

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2omSPN8ZsD

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQ4Z5Ehq7

And on the ground…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhA13XwZu

Abdulrahman and Sage Saif were both unconscious.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKP1gBTMnq

Khaled stared at his hands for a few moments.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuvNuBcczY

He could still remember that violet aura.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01leMOogL

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4echbsYMd

But—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNupSVImpR

there was no time to think about it now.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04crAmFzlk

Khaled quickly rushed toward Abdulrahman.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvPVfIVr8

“Abdulrahman!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOSSFtZKmh

He shook him anxiously.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ3gbwGpKQ

After a few moments…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qmcHbPQ4K

Abdulrahman slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTgPpywYUP

Then he sat up, holding his head in pain.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUgifRE1Yt

“…What happened?”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkasGSH25U3

But before Khaled could answer—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1m0mixyjZ

a weak cough echoed nearby.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6YlmRYnt3

They immediately turned around.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66YClVBNs

Saif had begun regaining consciousness as well.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRtdDixCu4

He looked around silently for a few moments.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrnVSblHda

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa71s6M8G1I

As if he understood that something horrifying had happened there.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJYpRxIaVf

But…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOLgyv69u

he said nothing.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmdaHUzQ6

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLdv1XLryy

Several days passed.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMn2wd6Opt

And the village of Aros slowly returned to life.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0fMtS1kyD

The villagers rebuilt their homes.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmkXrDwxZl

Fires returned to the furnaces.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DWUSbJVuL

Children began running through the streets again.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6nkmMXhl

But despite all of that…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScCkqAA1Sw

a heavy feeling still lingered over the village.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1XkTFi9IN

As if the danger had not truly ended yet.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLmxwyIlJS

One evening—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaR1kfBYD9

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL5mOJCYlQ

He slowly clenched his fist.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltgaEJ6dit

Then remembered that moment…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZePdP5C8xX

When he stood helpless before Rose.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRNoMO3xOX

And when he watched Khaled fighting alone.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGw35q2StQ

“…I’m still weak.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1HmeBcHCq

Suddenly—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRAZaQW1wU

Saif appeared behind him quietly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfAUdxbCZ

“I know why you’re upset.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9B6wcsxJ

Abdulrahman quickly turned toward him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaF10GQqDf

But Saif calmly sat beside him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrncN7nnJ0

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wdQCmXdVT

Abdulrahman lowered his gaze silently.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWi8Ji5DTH

But Saif smiled faintly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDgc2pWA3x

“Don’t worry.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtcPzFrRJ3

Then he slowly stood up.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOybjdcsCe

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBLiTV0lP

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQdPUSI8Pb

The next morning—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMbhVdCZQj

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcij2dncmTf

“Power isn’t just about reckless explosions.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0usjHBWhz

Saif raised his hand.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswfyNs9M5C

Suddenly—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vCUvMgeF

small sparks of lightning gathered in his palm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltUrQ7Ov9T

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2LTdfr2qW

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfcWBQ6gOV

“What is that?!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRCXo7RvgC

Saif answered calmly:

“The Lightning Sphere technique.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0vl6y1lEH

Then he looked directly at him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJ9PyBVsO

“But you… will create your own version.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCBrQ2xZCI

Abdulrahman slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPsydEevgW

Flames gradually appeared within his palm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1kXao37wQ

At first—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTAcsjP2XH

they were unstable.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERrMW4vBAZ

Exploding and disappearing repeatedly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZCMmPw9fa

But Abdulrahman kept trying.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSAn14nKG1

Again…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jqHvPZwg

and again…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDY3DfZPiC

dozens of times.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi64Cfa5Bf

Until—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmKCTB4MJ

the flames slowly began rotating inside his hand.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACJWT1tQyX

A small sphere of fire finally formed.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7B0HywOEQ

His eyes widened excitedly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkcWlP5wjh

“I did it…!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2t254iwRX

Then the sphere exploded directly in his face.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqb8jdmsMr

He stumbled backward coughing while smoke rose from his hair.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ziHEoiLX

Saif stared at him for a few seconds…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylcOMqPmgK

before bursting into laughter.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMOCnG8VEk

“Hahahaha!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mKjAoa90w

Abdulrahman shouted angrily:

“That’s not funny!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZKQeJqF8

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNxIbzFdiV

Days passed.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXisHbHALi

And the training became far harsher.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLVSwJd9UV

Abdulrahman never stopped.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1rl4Vb80V

Every single day…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TnnnvRrxv

he failed dozens of times.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1lWABejc8

But each time—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQhowcobV

he stood up again.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Q1sRBXnv

Until one day—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXSK1W6O3M

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jsrtRHINh

Flames erupted violently inside his palm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYhHMCGxr

But this time…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Rf2k8nj2

they didn’t explode.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEOlfXy5u

Instead, they stabilized.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsv6hvMqmR

A massive sphere of fire appeared before him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfF9qSS8TB

Spinning with terrifying heat.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV2vgOw6o3

Even the air around it began trembling.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKoVrynOiD

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNMEX5JwgE

“Finally…!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wg25ohl0X

But while searching for Saif—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRgFCnTdf

he noticed something in the distance.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKkCd6osgu

Khaled.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUepFVFNha

Training alone deep within the forest.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk1NGvzDbM

Abdulrahman approached quietly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvO08tUWW

And there—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzl2qADdb

he saw something strange.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHesKxxngT

The shadows around Khaled slowly began moving.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fRH5Hn6Mc

Then—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a9tsG6SdL

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrLRf68Kjp

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened in shock.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YKv0viKJ

“He blended into the shadows…?!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lgYnh1zK

A few moments later—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmPe7B4qoZ

Khaled emerged from another nearby shadow while breathing heavily.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk7wYC3JRD

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFv9HTowDH

But he had succeeded.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOkylfpODB

And not only that—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW0wUSAmpP

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUC8nU5Yp

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIYijyLivw

“So even you are evolving this fast…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzJiWxBpyn

He clenched his fist tightly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7XsYg0QrT

“I won’t fall behind either.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yj7RlQQiJ

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldyVYCw6YE

The next day—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nulvyim5A

Abdulrahman stood once again before Saif.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwFKodhwNa

“I want more.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnj5M7prN5

Saif smiled faintly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvIoXnMTV

“Good.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrB9BTlVpX

Then he pointed toward Abdulrahman’s arm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3egZAXWsy

“Focus your energy into one point.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6toFxdKT3

Abdulrahman closed his eyes.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBHC5mqekQ

The flames slowly began gathering inside his arm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZNht4GTP

The pain was unbearable.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1rOzdGGh

As if his arm were burning from the inside.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSfG1SsIGd

But he endured it.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyabumftNW

Until—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWuKOWPcdy

fire suddenly erupted around his entire arm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4KgkduQhs

Transforming it into a blazing flaming arm.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfkqPOyfK1

His eyes widened in shock.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtM3IADlJL

“This… is incredible.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV5ssR5meP

But Saif merely smiled.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLL54UsdK2

“This is only the beginning.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx0fg9qETl

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuqPNH4OT

That night—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz0PP0PbAN

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCHydRSUE2

Zira’s destroyed house.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjbA49SjA

Dust covered every corner.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqpRZg3LFo

Broken wood lay scattered across the floor.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqd1dbeJUi

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHfCNhw9I

“Come down.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQmLmT7Cw

They descended into an ancient underground chamber.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzXSWGIEX

Filled with books and scrolls.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexYC4nWrcs

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iktSfaaN8

Saif said quietly:

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eevmOMJAx

Abdulrahman slowly took the book.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIKnePEW2

And once he opened it—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrYi8loCa0

his eyes rapidly moved across the pages.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMw0leXGBZ

Techniques.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHp4hdP3sJ

Combat styles.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gPt33rx8g

Methods of controlling fire.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wlZLdD4R8

The secrets of the Flame Clan itself.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Fa1J2Kps

From that day onward—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyTE9J0OVw

Abdulrahman isolated himself inside that chamber.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8xn4CfB1

Training.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cBjdrxjOh

Reading.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uDr80UMtL

Trying again and again.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFPsuc99n

Until—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFWKCGEPul

the color of his flames slowly began changing.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI3Bug7pn1

From red…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhs6sNuD45

to blue.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOsN1EtnCi

But every time he tried compressing those flames—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylKvgrKQIb

he failed.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57oBiOzdLl

Then, within one of the pages…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWFWSk1Wa6

he found a strange encoded sentence:

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJm1GjKWo8

His eyes narrowed.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv5c4jzIVG

“What does that even mean…?”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfA0Z0aFuJ

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv2ExVJ0OY

Hours later—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tu2oDBuvh

Saif entered the chamber.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLjXGrcoSb

Abdulrahman immediately asked him about the code.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA1MMBugf8

But Saif calmly replied:

“I’ll decipher it later.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1CTMcTbjP

Then he looked at him seriously.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfk3gShPdz

“Until then… keep training.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhDluqUCI

Abdulrahman sighed in frustration and continued reading.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkAaBNx6sS

But suddenly—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq6YBDBtyn

he froze.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62DvXclg16

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiEMMGAT1e

In his grandfather’s handwriting.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjN80zEE23

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvxI8UwvlY

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

“Always remember… I’m proud of you.”

“And I love you, my grandson.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbmFsrrQJ

Silence filled the chamber.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbP7Zec8ne

Then a quiet tear rolled down Abdulrahman’s face.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhPsmYHQCS

He smiled faintly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gCAvaMcLL

“…I love you too, grandfather.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3RLCzlizo

But—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3sSLIAlg7

another sentence was written behind the page.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GgWQ1DwY

“The Secret Flame Technique.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8paBCWrCe

“Turn your entire body into fire.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E7OV6rZit

His eyes widened in shock.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMVUmELnF

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpl1zyuBGJ

Abdulrahman immediately rushed toward the training field.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOnxU3XYk0

Then closed his eyes.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvydLjswtR

“If focusing power into one arm is possible…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHEzRg8VjI

he clenched his fist.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv95EyIfeb

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3J4y8Gou

Flames violently spiraled around him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4sNFkyZeC

The temperature rose dramatically.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCBkbhoqH

Then—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCyZsBSHpt

his entire body transformed into living fire.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuzPbQkXdp

A blazing human figure.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciPXhaatQX

But after only a few seconds—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5JEy7m3Z0

he collapsed to his knees while gasping heavily.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1eOf2m5fQ

Almost all of his energy had vanished.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WiNEjPW5u

He stared at his trembling hand.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2XwZmzNn3

“It consumes all my power…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3iV891i0o

Then slowly raised his head.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo5UAVwtp6

“I need to become stronger.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkJWkmNsz

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb4hSnByvq

The following morning—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFbDWy6m4Q

Abdulrahman went searching for Khaled.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBYtZmW1d

But suddenly—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL3Er2GqSJ

the shadow beneath a nearby tree shifted strangely.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNte9cVcv1

Then Khaled emerged from it directly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhM4VjYVP

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMpTCQa7s0

“So you finally mastered it…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkoa86KZnb

Khaled smiled faintly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJpAzCLBVT

“Almost.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo15oc4h4jm

Before they could continue speaking—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypnUhshVK

Saif suddenly appeared behind them.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIibOe2o7q

“I believe both of you are finally ready.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlqlMtHLp1

The two immediately looked toward him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZtsblOctN

Saif turned toward Abdulrahman.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LC5x5mDT1

“I deciphered the code.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDMzSBT98

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened instantly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmOurzFgQU

“Really?!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAc6RvPFwq

Saif nodded.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHusNfSEMZi

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1yRcHVnB

Then he looked directly at him.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO7FGTu7Y8

"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."

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kSGdu8Kh

He paused briefly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLonu9lDklg

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDUDWwPkxl

Silence filled the air for a moment.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qgTc3NLbh

Then Saif continued:

“The location your grandfather described… is there.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof0R7dvkHW

Abdulrahman clenched his fist excitedly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSktx2N302A

But this time—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiV4Ai3pB5

Saif approached Khaled instead and whispered quietly into his ear:

“There’s also a rumor…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6d0TFPify

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAc8WXThF

Khaled’s eyes widened.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpx0bEleA7

“A ring?”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO9En5oEub

Saif smiled faintly.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIeYPOelj4

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

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ANRcrDGu

Khaled immediately became excited.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfPbBUdNE

As for Abdulrahman—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYpOdwYChE

he smiled confidently.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgiTz2RkHJ

“Then…”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSynhm21Zp

Flames ignited softly within his hand.

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi2TM2jaO6

“Let’s head to the Shadow Village.”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIiBcSVDZU

And somewhere far away…

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhHCE4XHBV

deep within the volcano—

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQOyJXJvJ

two crimson eyes slowly opened within the darkness.
