Title: Shadow of the Eternal Flame - Chapter 6 : The Heroes’ Training

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq9MEduYUJ

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ErczQdMIB

Silence filled the forest.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcBJoecdwD

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaqc9T0o4T

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkqh65Mp7

And on the ground…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGgUwDDCY1

Abdulrahman and Sage Saif were both unconscious.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVc8Urao3d

Khaled stared at his hands for a few moments.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6sK723VB

He could still remember that violet aura.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozRqcbXtOz

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEwB9davud

But—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ028v2B3LcR

there was no time to think about it now.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OvZHVr1lh

Khaled quickly rushed toward Abdulrahman.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6frHvpbyov

“Abdulrahman!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss8fXMExyf

He shook him anxiously.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloSRRRRoVz

After a few moments…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkgeACSqUV

Abdulrahman slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKtWi98QM1

Then he sat up, holding his head in pain.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HqchHXYWm

“…What happened?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTMxcEQUZp

But before Khaled could answer—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcYCGTagsI

a weak cough echoed nearby.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ637mDw8qXu

They immediately turned around.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW20GaomevN

Saif had begun regaining consciousness as well.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRtmuWdN7I

He looked around silently for a few moments.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWku5y3Ow

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UtsYrYrDA

As if he understood that something horrifying had happened there.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xv0M8NUeL

But…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVGgtSYtE

he said nothing.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9szFZxRh

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lCmhDtRV

Several days passed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fnwVgaHwA

And the village of Aros slowly returned to life.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUXVJXhd7Q

The villagers rebuilt their homes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikffjOx7cE

Fires returned to the furnaces.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKWTShxMlA

Children began running through the streets again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaU6nHX8jZ

But despite all of that…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgokbo4RfE

a heavy feeling still lingered over the village.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPB4IJcWMe

As if the danger had not truly ended yet.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yqRMAhJTK

One evening—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEgLb6QnXm

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUeW200jWL

He slowly clenched his fist.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07WwGpL1u

Then remembered that moment…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdoETclvFp

When he stood helpless before Rose.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRQQtQQE3I

And when he watched Khaled fighting alone.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oOsKxs9AD

“…I’m still weak.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjyJ5tJJHH

Suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5GUrORs9D

Saif appeared behind him quietly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGVud8wQF

“I know why you’re upset.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWnVhDeCo7

Abdulrahman quickly turned toward him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ihgytvpej

But Saif calmly sat beside him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyarcNNxcy

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqzqYdrVjI

Abdulrahman lowered his gaze silently.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBpl6Zpqmh

But Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUg7fYJ1MH

“Don’t worry.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUzATW0AMj

Then he slowly stood up.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6CLo1QOc6

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaQNdjv1Fo

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO9yEA7VVz

The next morning—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR2eqryeTc

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDmtmsdHoY

“Power isn’t just about reckless explosions.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDcIUD6pvz

Saif raised his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMc5PeYeH6

Suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt6CmiuwOk

small sparks of lightning gathered in his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuL4raFE7l

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj83ORBrrCG

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h7PdtY8mc

“What is that?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguQQxx4sM

Saif answered calmly:

“The Lightning Sphere technique.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTtO0EsEg

Then he looked directly at him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWjIwB1MV

“But you… will create your own version.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWVXbidECu

Abdulrahman slowly raised his hand and closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhinYcZWrBU

Flames gradually appeared within his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh2CCcZKdH

At first—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJlZeYt4Mf

they were unstable.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWOR0SlENt

Exploding and disappearing repeatedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOWhzrzOWY

But Abdulrahman kept trying.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYIC3vQDp

Again…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf37mp6WJB5

and again…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ5n9q9fSr

dozens of times.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec92kXZKsu

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6b87XwS7Z

the flames slowly began rotating inside his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo8n1zSlkE

A small sphere of fire finally formed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZES84qhtLy

His eyes widened excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaihNqcZUo

“I did it…!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbjCgrbLex

Then the sphere exploded directly in his face.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRH00IKT6d

He stumbled backward coughing while smoke rose from his hair.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbTQf6RMGk

Saif stared at him for a few seconds…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Du1od9Lj

before bursting into laughter.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZL5kp1LE2

“Hahahaha!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBgCvJdbMJ

Abdulrahman shouted angrily:

“That’s not funny!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gtz0ubnUW

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6yFnHdsQ

Days passed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9c3v02AzD

And the training became far harsher.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU1TBNI3Tc

Abdulrahman never stopped.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ80e1rMII

Every single day…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeP6mUbh23

he failed dozens of times.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JVFCp4ocx

But each time—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyw1znnx2l

he stood up again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM9E81dm4E

Until one day—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj23PXq9ZbI

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal8NA2ayAG

Flames erupted violently inside his palm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnASNt6d7B

But this time…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7LpoLYj2L

they didn’t explode.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqduzQJwVx

Instead, they stabilized.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmWj8v2Siy

A massive sphere of fire appeared before him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh541xlv5Zn

Spinning with terrifying heat.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyI4fa8PJB

Even the air around it began trembling.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxic6K2Tf

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBiqLAhwQJ

“Finally…!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62qNMm2T2o

But while searching for Saif—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQABGd6CRk

he noticed something in the distance.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TM8ZgkIR

Khaled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgsJSLfZVg

Training alone deep within the forest.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ncmVFaIXJ

Abdulrahman approached quietly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1vidfg84R

And there—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBkspOvX5L

he saw something strange.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvuikiFR8

The shadows around Khaled slowly began moving.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC5J4q9hHC

Then—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfmafLsCd0

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxzfHjZtK

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xxC1R0WY3

“He blended into the shadows…?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgUxVfoJL

A few moments later—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyd7bzV5aC

Khaled emerged from another nearby shadow while breathing heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKD1QEyqFN

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG5LWVd5NJ

But he had succeeded.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaH2Bb99p4

And not only that—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs2Ayv4h6k

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqLbCU6x2N

Abdulrahman smiled excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgnQOj0gAB

“So even you are evolving this fast…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lj2DHDsOo

He clenched his fist tightly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljRPlDFk2s

“I won’t fall behind either.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviCwQ18Dz

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc977id1No

The next day—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ziCmyjuh

Abdulrahman stood once again before Saif.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ587kTVHsgI

“I want more.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPORWYseSu

Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm71XPOMhC

“Good.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTB3CvYXdI

Then he pointed toward Abdulrahman’s arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeMUxVNfs1

“Focus your energy into one point.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkFiafnBCg

Abdulrahman closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fAcdZx0Ih

The flames slowly began gathering inside his arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYZoEpZYN

The pain was unbearable.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq3jKctZGv

As if his arm were burning from the inside.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqLDzHACN3

But he endured it.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTySLeNcruc

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVzFt2uCI

fire suddenly erupted around his entire arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqH3qWLM7

Transforming it into a blazing flaming arm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkwcYqw7sW

His eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7rRZrGD03

“This… is incredible.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwbGYVA0ni

But Saif merely smiled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2enYxmnhJH

“This is only the beginning.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgtjTMjihc

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleIONbxvFg

That night—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBVJFD73Ad

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndKkF4dm9S

Zira’s destroyed house.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgVN3Q9oq1

Dust covered every corner.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMfnJnC4V

Broken wood lay scattered across the floor.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6peWqXyOcl

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCCPmGRax0

“Come down.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D2KL7LWWe

They descended into an ancient underground chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0mfdPINCq

Filled with books and scrolls.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsadOzbyOSZ

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFLMNbudQb

Saif said quietly:

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ubk9lTamx

Abdulrahman slowly took the book.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpXn8oP3N

And once he opened it—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPiOSakrSy

his eyes rapidly moved across the pages.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5yb3w2WjU

Techniques.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbqvdyWxT

Combat styles.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jaR37SqAT

Methods of controlling fire.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bhJPDLyKp

The secrets of the Flame Clan itself.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4jNZ2SR1g

From that day onward—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH6PdoXUBG

Abdulrahman isolated himself inside that chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfodSg3vHxD

Training.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSacvtRHUl

Reading.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w49ZefjWg

Trying again and again.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGiAXDCuiu

Until—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdenfTpq54u

the color of his flames slowly began changing.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vbqm6Z4xP

From red…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdE7S2LqwD

to blue.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3q7asd21d

But every time he tried compressing those flames—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkUmxyjg9j

he failed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFFAREKksV

Then, within one of the pages…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcoYYvwmfd

he found a strange encoded sentence:

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVobHDyZVtx

His eyes narrowed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Qjosmie9

“What does that even mean…?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2t7qFKaSe

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYmGSYHEE

Hours later—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmB90Q8kVN

Saif entered the chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLolG3C7tkT

Abdulrahman immediately asked him about the code.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNWplXYujf

But Saif calmly replied:

“I’ll decipher it later.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi8CRhwD58

Then he looked at him seriously.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0BwG9yEB

“Until then… keep training.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBlwuw87Vn

Abdulrahman sighed in frustration and continued reading.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGubxU0ao2a

But suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjAlikU2J0

he froze.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdsXCvKjsL

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vSTTO7luR

In his grandfather’s handwriting.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTlnurRtfO

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiFU3CRc9p

“…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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoCDV6MmIi

Silence filled the chamber.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3kIcXLv26

Then a quiet tear rolled down Abdulrahman’s face.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554HOei0nc

He smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbd13881oa

“…I love you too, grandfather.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0czFoD7XOs

But—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XxKy9qJdO

another sentence was written behind the page.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXIW2qPHJQ

“The Secret Flame Technique.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTzemHPoiX

“Turn your entire body into fire.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGc4ak3Bpm

His eyes widened in shock.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrtvpgPJCh

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCk6Gds0eV

Abdulrahman immediately rushed toward the training field.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJyBxu16Ax

Then closed his eyes.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTM78p1iKw

“If focusing power into one arm is possible…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8SOURfcm

he clenched his fist.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJgQ3rBqz

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq3kb3vAYK

Flames violently spiraled around him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Vt6WY5Di

The temperature rose dramatically.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hmOW2oaqB

Then—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20uCPI09j8

his entire body transformed into living fire.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihRTPieZUk

A blazing human figure.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo23Vg5ELJZ

But after only a few seconds—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHEDxZff83

he collapsed to his knees while gasping heavily.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfFRwHEyFp

Almost all of his energy had vanished.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXwaRbyrN

He stared at his trembling hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCMlfhHpxD

“It consumes all my power…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT1i2rECXq

Then slowly raised his head.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUPj7v9iHw

“I need to become stronger.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLM3N5orG

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l8GQjcYdw

The following morning—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2YiaM9lfu

Abdulrahman went searching for Khaled.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsASQRog1Gc

But suddenly—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9JbZQyPPE

the shadow beneath a nearby tree shifted strangely.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBpsIAsvSK

Then Khaled emerged from it directly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbxGe0Har

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6j536x70u

“So you finally mastered it…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPYhg0B86o

Khaled smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gVBK6k9v

“Almost.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIoc8BuE1a

Before they could continue speaking—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CstGG2Wbb

Saif suddenly appeared behind them.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpY4RDQs9N

“I believe both of you are finally ready.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLDfGrfFnK

The two immediately looked toward him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDibYvmTXN

Saif turned toward Abdulrahman.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt0zrS3i4W

“I deciphered the code.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMGezfqEZg

Abdulrahman’s eyes widened instantly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbl6bWuo7j

“Really?!”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FquCjw3qY

Saif nodded.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbfq0xFokh

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb2iYqtvXR

Then he looked directly at him.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoICbRFAuvT

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc9x5nSoBI

He paused briefly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF7h0gYKfy

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlePLcXNG1Y

Silence filled the air for a moment.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZig3yXLU

Then Saif continued:

“The location your grandfather described… is there.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSClZJjCUA

Abdulrahman clenched his fist excitedly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65eCwDgvqy

But this time—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I2w1vwqR0

Saif approached Khaled instead and whispered quietly into his ear:

“There’s also a rumor…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wRfw1PLrd

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqIg1gajoc

Khaled’s eyes widened.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3l5duh2Vb

“A ring?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUd7MMCHWj

Saif smiled faintly.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUXg9oLRz

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

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7deehM6K

Khaled immediately became excited.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9lIkDBRt

As for Abdulrahman—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vWbACchtC

he smiled confidently.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcTSjYitQh

“Then…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVI8KYmhFG

Flames ignited softly within his hand.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMRPg2YWP

“Let’s head to the Shadow Village.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylRgoqntgv

And somewhere far away…

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczdxgjg51F

deep within the volcano—

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYnB7BRCZd

two crimson eyes slowly opened within the darkness.
