87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJyGpV31kW

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmGpIGeVy

Silence filled the forest.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38e0IPp71v

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJmMRSdcA4

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIKwTmRQM2

And on the ground…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSAYuioI1r

Abdulrahman and Sage Saif were both unconscious.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHro0G15Do4

Khaled stared at his hands for a few moments.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXIXfK20TB

He could still remember that violet aura.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJy6eTimaY

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TZCBgnx9I

But—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P5oNulOxg

there was no time to think about it now.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjtz1oxGKh

Khaled quickly rushed toward Abdulrahman.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IQlT7OiGM

“Abdulrahman!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A8eidfax1

He shook him anxiously.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ld7Q9ATF

After a few moments…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiJOgFt4Hb

Abdulrahman slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNWPl0kXTy

Then he sat up, holding his head in pain.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xzBGzRmEt

“…What happened?”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1rfEq3TjW

But before Khaled could answer—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOVLnrsYT

a weak cough echoed nearby.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMZpyF0si

They immediately turned around.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC29Ua32G9

Saif had begun regaining consciousness as well.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ng25wK96b

He looked around silently for a few moments.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLTulidC29

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7hJjTxkU0

As if he understood that something horrifying had happened there.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ZwTbI9nf

But…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwZYwMaAG

he said nothing.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvHgUIBywm

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpGCy9ZxhQ

Several days passed.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2vbYL1lM

And the village of Aros slowly returned to life.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIALAL2fGiU

The villagers rebuilt their homes.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzCXtcz5g5

Fires returned to the furnaces.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4H82loKPk

Children began running through the streets again.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXzTd46unS

But despite all of that…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aeodQCKhd

a heavy feeling still lingered over the village.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMjwZtIai2

As if the danger had not truly ended yet.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1luEUXKl8

One evening—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFeCKCGxs

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWxCILSbDh

He slowly clenched his fist.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoe4YiBroK

Then remembered that moment…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qb1th57PE

When he stood helpless before Rose.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Nr199Ngl

And when he watched Khaled fighting alone.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTNzbBzpV

“…I’m still weak.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWPpjeWKry

Suddenly—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVjLTgK9Pe

Saif appeared behind him quietly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSht8dWPL

“I know why you’re upset.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyH9TfY38U

Abdulrahman quickly turned toward him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeoCPTMz6K

But Saif calmly sat beside him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1N9M8KTJn

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmC9XbOk0w

Abdulrahman lowered his gaze silently.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2fZdfL2Jr

But Saif smiled faintly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE1Y9T8wtv

“Don’t worry.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKyW6iHqG

Then he slowly stood up.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrybVNHamS

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU5UzZgRyq

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6edyY9PYLN

The next morning—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaqoPTqebS

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOfbV3sgV2

“Power isn’t just about reckless explosions.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgSS6lxjr

Saif raised his hand.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mD1Ndnles

Suddenly—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnG5s6fih8

small sparks of lightning gathered in his palm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC94kpKwqP

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vHpiin11f

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyw52NR5Vn

“What is that?!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044PYAM3iR

Saif answered calmly:

“The Lightning Sphere technique.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68XeuyE45S

Then he looked directly at him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74DTlYDttM

“But you… will create your own version.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjuYj1kBAE

Abdulrahman slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn38QX7jAJz

Flames gradually appeared within his palm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFl384DMs

At first—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzRlhPPiV

they were unstable.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0y1osti7

Exploding and disappearing repeatedly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQAoo2iJK

But Abdulrahman kept trying.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlfW0rC6aL

Again…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspHnrIR669

and again…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRuvgFqiZv

dozens of times.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn3GrqWj8K

Until—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2nIpcEUIq

the flames slowly began rotating inside his hand.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPdGOrtJnX

A small sphere of fire finally formed.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZGdfZynDk

His eyes widened excitedly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD6judm33u

“I did it…!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRzxn4UWz9

Then the sphere exploded directly in his face.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2lzohBQ13

He stumbled backward coughing while smoke rose from his hair.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrIzwJEKhJ

Saif stared at him for a few seconds…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsPsU3uT7F

before bursting into laughter.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDOK0P6NJw

“Hahahaha!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHB24vEuSj

Abdulrahman shouted angrily:

“That’s not funny!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqyaQim0DO

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKQK7hPQRl

Days passed.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Bp3JtJaU

And the training became far harsher.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ206kG3Oc

Abdulrahman never stopped.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQpEbM2oBD

Every single day…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C2JGZOqsA

he failed dozens of times.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM29d6MKZ88

But each time—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO1WUhhaU9

he stood up again.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3dxGHPCD

Until one day—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwpqUpz4Bp

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp8okujP7m

Flames erupted violently inside his palm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIBibqL3Fw

But this time…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT3SV3WjbJ

they didn’t explode.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdTs771did

Instead, they stabilized.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBqa8dZxMh

A massive sphere of fire appeared before him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuRbfo9EoJ

Spinning with terrifying heat.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCQDmnG3EE

Even the air around it began trembling.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOP5qZMKu

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYs5w0HMrz

“Finally…!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLVeH8PKZj

But while searching for Saif—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPdkfcAIuY

he noticed something in the distance.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdz0zSioQ0

Khaled.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvd5NUd0HX

Training alone deep within the forest.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OEZ0I4tH9

Abdulrahman approached quietly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUw8AF94u6

And there—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS55JmStOsO

he saw something strange.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdRCwXhs4

The shadows around Khaled slowly began moving.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJrlLAktYE

Then—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINHveBV0tt

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4odoIx0gd

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened in shock.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVTF037ucN

“He blended into the shadows…?!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjAYFkGaH

A few moments later—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad8Mr3vcCp

Khaled emerged from another nearby shadow while breathing heavily.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxOp1b3kWh

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAiFG7OJX3

But he had succeeded.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmeel90n3u

And not only that—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9cI1eetl

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBVyo7tdQK

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4WuN8L9Bd

“So even you are evolving this fast…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyHdTuDmmO

He clenched his fist tightly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RityYmjWb

“I won’t fall behind either.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyUYfJ6egw

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGN1wneWgg

The next day—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR3sRbGZ2y

Abdulrahman stood once again before Saif.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NI0Dy1JR

“I want more.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRjG3Xm3MQ

Saif smiled faintly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAnwqb0JmO

“Good.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVNC2zzFat

Then he pointed toward Abdulrahman’s arm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS5d6pjehm

“Focus your energy into one point.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt8hnrhrwV

Abdulrahman closed his eyes.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVITD46aaw

The flames slowly began gathering inside his arm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7XxdRkHzK

The pain was unbearable.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3hcnWJpCd

As if his arm were burning from the inside.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNO5vT64rT

But he endured it.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EfZ6hHLqm

Until—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy1gtarqpN

fire suddenly erupted around his entire arm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVGtIgRiL2

Transforming it into a blazing flaming arm.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OnHvKov7z

His eyes widened in shock.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3wKfPHGE

“This… is incredible.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuzRkdcLlj

But Saif merely smiled.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMfNMy3rE7

“This is only the beginning.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPjl4tHwFm

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15whEGh5g2

That night—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITrmXP2Qs2

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4zGkV1kM

Zira’s destroyed house.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaqtr1YYi0

Dust covered every corner.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqvhPsHFcJ

Broken wood lay scattered across the floor.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvmlrN6ehh

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNizXPGpN9

“Come down.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDaXFsvaBh

They descended into an ancient underground chamber.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYCsTmwva9

Filled with books and scrolls.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DyTyKlFtx

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy0HG81aEu

Saif said quietly:

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ll0EVzrwK

Abdulrahman slowly took the book.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3s6AQj7iX

And once he opened it—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLezH7umAV

his eyes rapidly moved across the pages.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtXG7gxZFu

Techniques.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqeAYfe3dk

Combat styles.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlWlbW7hom

Methods of controlling fire.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIpKy0kBwK

The secrets of the Flame Clan itself.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgzl0zSt2a

From that day onward—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatCqtK94i

Abdulrahman isolated himself inside that chamber.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6704HQlKj

Training.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sz9CeBUve

Reading.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiNc6nEUyw

Trying again and again.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Uhc9BoqB

Until—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkiXcIC0SB

the color of his flames slowly began changing.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37eJbBYlTq

From red…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3h8eBv1w

to blue.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQEUsIrrZP

But every time he tried compressing those flames—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CtSdi15mG

he failed.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcHAvBqQ6

Then, within one of the pages…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWHERNLvLK

he found a strange encoded sentence:

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKx9WaVhlE

His eyes narrowed.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHAnP8O2oW

“What does that even mean…?”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF8O6OFadQ

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZu84U8hkG

Hours later—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebFTA3Jh1l

Saif entered the chamber.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz9rpOaZxK

Abdulrahman immediately asked him about the code.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT4NewrcnK

But Saif calmly replied:

“I’ll decipher it later.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o2jA7Zr3V

Then he looked at him seriously.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMBVbxfGFt

“Until then… keep training.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKNSLNvV2x

Abdulrahman sighed in frustration and continued reading.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT07P8bVeNe

But suddenly—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2epgbvp1

he froze.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAMGsUAv5X

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtgIVLq8cK

In his grandfather’s handwriting.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpoRB9bIqQ

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VCm7wPIpE

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

“Always remember… I’m proud of you.”

“And I love you, my grandson.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qDamPsVfq

Silence filled the chamber.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2J220QLxb

Then a quiet tear rolled down Abdulrahman’s face.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdfhSyDHFV

He smiled faintly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5W3TTp7K2

“…I love you too, grandfather.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBmB3lyDXE

But—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqXBXTX93

another sentence was written behind the page.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCd8AAf3d2

“The Secret Flame Technique.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780l2y8io4

“Turn your entire body into fire.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9RwsBUrCw

His eyes widened in shock.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTXp7YYc7S

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYyjl68xlD

Abdulrahman immediately rushed toward the training field.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bnBsGo64

Then closed his eyes.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5arwRmua0

“If focusing power into one arm is possible…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ahskUUbEX

he clenched his fist.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSiqgJtJx4

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAauvG30C5E

Flames violently spiraled around him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tabvDpD0w

The temperature rose dramatically.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHFokUmfN8

Then—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr65Cb3kYek

his entire body transformed into living fire.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ337k9CB73S

A blazing human figure.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzyeaY3wdd

But after only a few seconds—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ82Wu7SAdL

he collapsed to his knees while gasping heavily.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDYLfUbKJm

Almost all of his energy had vanished.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5iBkXUIw

He stared at his trembling hand.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaAn7OMtu0

“It consumes all my power…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOYoSrpa3

Then slowly raised his head.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcDXXOsMc

“I need to become stronger.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQdOXy2NCb

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLaNcajK1A

The following morning—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWGWx1LXdl

Abdulrahman went searching for Khaled.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMiG6KM4nc

But suddenly—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT9iMMyPwj

the shadow beneath a nearby tree shifted strangely.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XjPIso2ZF

Then Khaled emerged from it directly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglSvPsyOHZ

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAklBPMS09

“So you finally mastered it…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNmie8HRn8

Khaled smiled faintly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r4azN1kPc

“Almost.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzxcqxEiQS

Before they could continue speaking—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqchHYYzdBq

Saif suddenly appeared behind them.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNJVZzY6Kc

“I believe both of you are finally ready.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3boC3hHwJG

The two immediately looked toward him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ZH3JPUDx

Saif turned toward Abdulrahman.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1D8ljotN6

“I deciphered the code.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05pVFu2QYu

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened instantly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr9c4qCfWD

“Really?!”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOpEhsfP9e

Saif nodded.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYjVZgBf3u

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp0ramMSKs

Then he looked directly at him.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlgrXcZUXs

"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."

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7uD0lQKhJ

He paused briefly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCqfMJmFeD

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KBpQFhmWb

Silence filled the air for a moment.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLX64DJmz

Then Saif continued:

“The location your grandfather described… is there.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75yRap90Q

Abdulrahman clenched his fist excitedly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBaorYVwIL

But this time—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7cjX2hWmA

Saif approached Khaled instead and whispered quietly into his ear:

“There’s also a rumor…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw4k0xPiUy

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ybzCfcIeK

Khaled’s eyes widened.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPZjd63qay

“A ring?”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4UCCzaZ4d

Saif smiled faintly.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5nIWeR5zC

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

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfE6wCn7oV

Khaled immediately became excited.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuBIQR5Q0f

As for Abdulrahman—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSCWY9uWAi

he smiled confidently.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoPi9MfyBo

“Then…”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQGKaosWl

Flames ignited softly within his hand.

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45qY0nFBax

“Let’s head to the Shadow Village.”

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGB7URT81

And somewhere far away…

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2jRQebJE

deep within the volcano—

87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSgtdrX6BD

two crimson eyes slowly opened within the darkness.
