64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ZX1lgl67

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcRfuyoDT

Silence filled the forest.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNvXMEx7D5

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLOymoykmF

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNuK9Cbq8f

And on the ground…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wRX3EgL37

Abdulrahman and Sage Saif were both unconscious.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzurn6w7ssS

Khaled stared at his hands for a few moments.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7gZ3XqrMM

He could still remember that violet aura.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuspQyWubG

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgywceinpDm

But—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa0GiCPhIn

there was no time to think about it now.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW4fJeigTV

Khaled quickly rushed toward Abdulrahman.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqD1ekM6w

“Abdulrahman!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRAWnhKfzf

He shook him anxiously.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a7grDkcsk

After a few moments…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9UdAGFU81

Abdulrahman slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7csvLjq2zR

Then he sat up, holding his head in pain.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaY9GV09vS

“…What happened?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nQaGPhp2

But before Khaled could answer—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ8KEnbcKG

a weak cough echoed nearby.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVn6DAClPn

They immediately turned around.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVdKhfFUaG

Saif had begun regaining consciousness as well.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9dSTWVNo

He looked around silently for a few moments.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzC263yWV

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN6QQ8EG1g

As if he understood that something horrifying had happened there.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXohp0M5vp

But…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvljUftmF3

he said nothing.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEuWulw0yv

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRYBmrVbgi

Several days passed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVX3l8R2J

And the village of Aros slowly returned to life.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHfcixKxp8

The villagers rebuilt their homes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzFNXoDCi

Fires returned to the furnaces.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EPwzlfApm

Children began running through the streets again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPotOYoHBb

But despite all of that…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp7ArUynxg

a heavy feeling still lingered over the village.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLktllBred0

As if the danger had not truly ended yet.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGhQYVKTbL

One evening—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAel80YPjk

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY41sCUxU6i

He slowly clenched his fist.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJqeCM3e7

Then remembered that moment…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmo6MDxcu

When he stood helpless before Rose.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TJ1jdvmpj

And when he watched Khaled fighting alone.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjxgqQVQ4m

“…I’m still weak.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwIQWOLz5C

Suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiREtUq8LBI

Saif appeared behind him quietly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs3Yi5bNtp

“I know why you’re upset.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvmDENYa7K

Abdulrahman quickly turned toward him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAtda9AbqU

But Saif calmly sat beside him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLaXrsXvFj

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh10J3E07N9

Abdulrahman lowered his gaze silently.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRbhKcZiSL

But Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0i40i9mb

“Don’t worry.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTzcVcsVph

Then he slowly stood up.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyBD3kbmuK

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ebbeo0lZ

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9QjdVVLU

The next morning—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1THOoRIk

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2pqjfAyL

“Power isn’t just about reckless explosions.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENckFXxOBx

Saif raised his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja56jMeWKQ

Suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9f3fV1Aot

small sparks of lightning gathered in his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTdQMNvRIW

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOQDKK5tZ

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrR3yw8UKm

“What is that?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtTKLqL788

Saif answered calmly:

“The Lightning Sphere technique.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8UNDG2qN

Then he looked directly at him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU1f3AGt8Y

“But you… will create your own version.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYvXvogCBk

Abdulrahman slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSPezqQYVN

Flames gradually appeared within his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bukZR7tcv

At first—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTOCBIcKoK

they were unstable.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UJYku5gCz

Exploding and disappearing repeatedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumKDfPiZZi

But Abdulrahman kept trying.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8isJh3S8UE

Again…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RVXQPXGoJ

and again…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhOpHa7FP

dozens of times.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjgY314k4W

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i8lGhUue0

the flames slowly began rotating inside his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVstLn67Js

A small sphere of fire finally formed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHEO8ZXsN

His eyes widened excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbBSC07Ygw

“I did it…!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wEfHbQr7D

Then the sphere exploded directly in his face.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3rC7Ki4h8

He stumbled backward coughing while smoke rose from his hair.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSLk1u6oxJ

Saif stared at him for a few seconds…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZUozJ1wlC

before bursting into laughter.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaLeMxPouM

“Hahahaha!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0wnEacfzj

Abdulrahman shouted angrily:

“That’s not funny!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlReoCAg2C2

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnStAleXnOT

Days passed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fbuge8S3g

And the training became far harsher.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9soBLmNd7

Abdulrahman never stopped.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWh1vxJBPN

Every single day…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLQrHy882

he failed dozens of times.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyqRfmstZ

But each time—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMaD2Lkl80

he stood up again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMinIoiKYt

Until one day—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUibzw9m3p9

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy9emuzRsu

Flames erupted violently inside his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTBwJ4il0y

But this time…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS27YI3jpnV

they didn’t explode.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS492YMoF1D

Instead, they stabilized.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHYN5mLo6o

A massive sphere of fire appeared before him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5oDeKSeLC

Spinning with terrifying heat.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXYcUCyQCc

Even the air around it began trembling.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraA6npfpkz

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQ0sifx1l

“Finally…!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8suy318DL

But while searching for Saif—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFss5OU8w3

he noticed something in the distance.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxWScIxLN

Khaled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpycU3jbA8

Training alone deep within the forest.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNf4LUD8dA

Abdulrahman approached quietly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pMkQHErop

And there—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuUGFQClxE

he saw something strange.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wCBeE7VNb

The shadows around Khaled slowly began moving.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDpzGnFVx

Then—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD0qMRA5Q2

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJroSZo44l

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpCTQLtHG

“He blended into the shadows…?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR9ddJHTdB

A few moments later—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHb3RL2RY

Khaled emerged from another nearby shadow while breathing heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEvGBTDk2c

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqjPtknY3

But he had succeeded.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURPTCKaR4D

And not only that—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDgOVtPHSb

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9zL4A2gAO

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5g3EQHVh2

“So even you are evolving this fast…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNvkOASTEy

He clenched his fist tightly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hrRviVcE7

“I won’t fall behind either.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0NXRXVsmX

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEBg3zcq4e

The next day—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE05C3atTb

Abdulrahman stood once again before Saif.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg187WEeUK

“I want more.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUiMpHKzHs

Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZvvtpCes9

“Good.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLokjdKp9XQ

Then he pointed toward Abdulrahman’s arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMoum3m8PH

“Focus your energy into one point.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWihw821RwQ

Abdulrahman closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYPHwHxXuH

The flames slowly began gathering inside his arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR8RpvS4XH

The pain was unbearable.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ZdxIPp0e

As if his arm were burning from the inside.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPJolb3va

But he endured it.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Mbn543vD

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZtKjanq8N

fire suddenly erupted around his entire arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl2FMvrcVZ

Transforming it into a blazing flaming arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWjrkUT4v3

His eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGomptkal

“This… is incredible.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11F5E9guYB

But Saif merely smiled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AeUzOokHM

“This is only the beginning.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgYJTTdEpE

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884EtUNox3

That night—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y8EiWZo1g

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU3acMg9zC

Zira’s destroyed house.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEAXuAphM

Dust covered every corner.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocvr4OdLOD

Broken wood lay scattered across the floor.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrUU5STiwy

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vVOLer8Oj

“Come down.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJPYdwUwYw

They descended into an ancient underground chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJcO5BqW9X

Filled with books and scrolls.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTn97L40gT

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eLvkUIHC8

Saif said quietly:

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWbDYCM7U0

Abdulrahman slowly took the book.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccIa04Lvd

And once he opened it—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLDP88tkdA

his eyes rapidly moved across the pages.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPuVK11rG

Techniques.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj1bmMAOBi

Combat styles.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ95ze7eMbc

Methods of controlling fire.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVopaOG89W6

The secrets of the Flame Clan itself.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY93XLHgWO

From that day onward—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAwUavkQ7O

Abdulrahman isolated himself inside that chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qYpeRjx34

Training.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsDNYdpScz

Reading.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJPQ19hLCi

Trying again and again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD8P27YQQ6

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhOUfSZgU

the color of his flames slowly began changing.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhdKrqh4LC

From red…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulRsAmUyl

to blue.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4zmIzP3K1

But every time he tried compressing those flames—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbSgNwHmLl

he failed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbChyjViYT

Then, within one of the pages…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUHqfOjeh

he found a strange encoded sentence:

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8tsOW7Ri

His eyes narrowed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciXPPRq7bJ

“What does that even mean…?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CK9P8NRhb

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISBz707ERB

Hours later—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhAVLCjPQR

Saif entered the chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBYxcKsiQ

Abdulrahman immediately asked him about the code.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzylWGDZPaP

But Saif calmly replied:

“I’ll decipher it later.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIM6g6fABk

Then he looked at him seriously.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4t747P2em

“Until then… keep training.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKzTudvKu

Abdulrahman sighed in frustration and continued reading.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ZWC4k4T6

But suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFsbZlANha

he froze.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYHl8J2HFx

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx12a4zlQE

In his grandfather’s handwriting.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGX3DzWAvA

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3W7UPWghK

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

“Always remember… I’m proud of you.”

“And I love you, my grandson.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4W20BdOtW

Silence filled the chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHH9i8spMf

Then a quiet tear rolled down Abdulrahman’s face.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4eupcRPkk

He smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHNwG6qgKw

“…I love you too, grandfather.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CirNORali

But—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QL55WzElC

another sentence was written behind the page.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCeitcqUjm

“The Secret Flame Technique.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON5an6PT45

“Turn your entire body into fire.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHy0U1oH9t

His eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89pT9jRFtI

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvtqWJn4Vn

Abdulrahman immediately rushed toward the training field.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6puz1FtzG9

Then closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsV04nNdKO

“If focusing power into one arm is possible…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqbRi0L1i1

he clenched his fist.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4cRAym7y

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWvFWsf10

Flames violently spiraled around him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXk5dF5QNA

The temperature rose dramatically.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg2qChYyaU

Then—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyc0P8YI99

his entire body transformed into living fire.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOEbEjUa6K

A blazing human figure.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pLbzDyEOL

But after only a few seconds—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaOhftf2PM

he collapsed to his knees while gasping heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnc3w28SZk

Almost all of his energy had vanished.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgotI7Q47H

He stared at his trembling hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7cUJTSiV

“It consumes all my power…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6QzimCXA

Then slowly raised his head.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44nBMcUgSG

“I need to become stronger.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmuLObdIod

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY95X09Wet

The following morning—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf9jZtL80A

Abdulrahman went searching for Khaled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4PfPNF3Ht

But suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzFrlnCbv

the shadow beneath a nearby tree shifted strangely.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpY5KqyWgj

Then Khaled emerged from it directly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqhI870KVA

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJTcGoqHo

“So you finally mastered it…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQscFdYxuNN

Khaled smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ax2XwxyW

“Almost.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aa2jltJyw

Before they could continue speaking—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJ9zApvct

Saif suddenly appeared behind them.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOzazBuC7V

“I believe both of you are finally ready.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmRoF1dNlM

The two immediately looked toward him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBCo3ldD4C

Saif turned toward Abdulrahman.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO78gW2Ph9

“I deciphered the code.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdP1G1UO0E

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened instantly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS4qkE5DgX

“Really?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSpThdt6Fh

Saif nodded.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3oiKsTNYI

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtIQDFplWe

Then he looked directly at him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiNcLubFc

"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."

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNCKZf5eQ6

He paused briefly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnQ6f2aDyB

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30hHh026Er

Silence filled the air for a moment.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWJ0adluD

Then Saif continued:

“The location your grandfather described… is there.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbw0WratKk

Abdulrahman clenched his fist excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQUrkfQbTt

But this time—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcXI9AsmgR

Saif approached Khaled instead and whispered quietly into his ear:

“There’s also a rumor…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9YLrvFSk

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjHdk2teyg

Khaled’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rltm6sl1m

“A ring?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYZNo3h6b

Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAsfRNyUAy

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJmZHBAR4

Khaled immediately became excited.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSfjRcBcz7

As for Abdulrahman—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTJhjb9oz3

he smiled confidently.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbevAxYsn

“Then…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAVwqAkcOe

Flames ignited softly within his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DJ6bJhsmn

“Let’s head to the Shadow Village.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa3v6zhpe7

And somewhere far away…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5tnNJkXKy

deep within the volcano—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZqQf0OqE

two crimson eyes slowly opened within the darkness.
