Chapter 1013 True Fire Blossoms

Chapter 1013 True Fire Blossoms

It was still perfectly clear inside Ugrok's mind.

He still remembered the time when he fought Rex inside the Cluster Domain. nOve/lb)In

Back then, Ugrok was frustrated and bored within his territory and found Adhara wandering inside the forest and stumbled across him which made him decide to toy with her to better his mood alongside the Ogres under him.

Seeing the injured Adhara, Rex instantly launches his assault in blatant anger.

It's worth to mention that he won the first fight against Rex.

During the night of the Blood Moon, he encountered Rex for the first time and defeated him before being chased by other Awakened who spotted him. So being confronted with Rex for the second time, he was not at all afraid and confident in his victory.

However, Rex proves him wrong and beats the living heck out of him.

Cyclops and Werewolves have one similar power, and that is anger made them stronger.

But Rex managed to overpower him thanks to what he did to Adhara.

Now that the Fire Elemental King was giving her the opportunity to improve her elements, it's good but has the possibility of creating a misunderstanding. Ugrok feared that Rex would be able to sense her getting hurt and came barging here.

Knowing Rex, he would have his own way to reach this place if he wanted to.

Meanwhile, the trial continues.

Previously, the Fire Elemental King explained that Adhara must rely on herself to enhance her elemental prowess and cultivate the True Fire. She could do this through being buried alive within the Flame of Truth.

It was a fire that was created specifically through the Fire Elemental King's true essence.

Her goal was to endure the flame until eight True Fire nuclei were formed.

Adhara needed to endure long enough until these eight True Fire nuclei formed inside her heart media and also her spirit's soul in order to complete the True Fire within her violet flame element.

Due to that, she willingly let herself be burned inside the Flame of Truth.

Currently, she was in her Werewolf form plus her Gladiator form.

Even though her power was soaring high, the burn from the Flame of Truth still prevailed.

Before the platform of the Fire Elemental King, a lethal yet enchanting crimson blaze soared to the underground canyon's ceiling. At the center of the blazing fire, Adhara grimaced, she was striving to withstand the Flame of Truth's intensity.

One could see that her skin was bubbling, like a body of heated water.

It was the most pain she had ever felt in her entire life.

Each time a True Fire nucleus formed, her body blasted a powerful, fiery shockwave.

Like a beating heart, her aura pulsated as this process continues.

Boom!

Another minute passed with another resounding boom coming from Adhara.

She managed to endure long enough to form eight True Fire nuclei inside her spirit's soul and is now halfway through the process. All she needs right now is to endure until the same amount forms within her heart media.

Essences of True Fire course through her skin and gathered at the center of her chest.

Slowly, it seeped into her skin to reach for her heart media.

Like tentacles from hell itself, the essence of True Fire went deeper, heading straight to her heart media. When the tip of these tendrils touched Adhara's heart media, the pain dawned on her instantly and made her hack up blood, her face contorted in pain.

Even her spirit came out of her body in an astral form behind her, letting out a wailing cry.

It was a grim reminder of her internal turmoil.

Contrary to her expectations, the agony of the True Fire nuclei forming within her heart media far exceeded the pain when they formed in her spirit's soul. Blood continued to gush out of her mouth as she crumpled to her knees, gasping for air.

Despite her regenerative ability and resistance, the Flame of Truth started to devour her.

Perching delicately on Adhara's shoulder, the diminutive fire ember expended its energy to envelop her in a gentle, protective layer of flame. Instantaneously, the thin layer provided a noticeable alleviation of the searing pain she had been enduring.

Blinking her eyes one time, she snapped out of her daze and looked around in blurry vision.

Glancing at her shoulder, he found the small fire ember.

It was suffering the same pain as Adhara and was gradually becoming smaller.

"What- What are you..."

Half-awake, Adhara wanted to ask a question but was unable to form more words.

Eventually, the two suffered through the horrendous minute.

As the minute elapsed, the last True Fire nucleus completed its formation, spreading its light throughout Adhara's entire being before unleashing an even stronger shockwave. It was also different than the previous shockwaves.

Compared to the ones earlier, this one is colored violet, the color of Adahra's fire element.

Boom!

"One..."

Boom!

"Two..."

...

Boom!

"I can't believe it! She has unlocked ten blossoms! Five within her spirit's soul and five in her heart media!" Gasped the humanoid Fire Elemental beside the Fire Elemental King, shocked by the count of the purple shockwaves that erupted following the completion of the last True Fire nucleus.

A True Fire nucleus could turn into a True Fire blossom.

It was also the gauging factor of the quality of the True Fire that was achieved by an entity.

Since there are sixteen True nuclei for fire elements, theoretically, one has a chance to turn all sixteen True Fire nuclei into True Fire blossoms. But in the span of long centuries, there were only a couple that could reach thirteen True Fire blossoms.

But all of them are cultivated and developed.

Recorded True Fire blossoms when achieving the True Fire was at most ten.

It was only achieved by one person.

Astoundingly enough, Adhara became the second person who unlocked ten instantaneously.

No wonder that the humanoid Fire Elemental was this surprised.

Even the Fire Elemental King couldn't hide his smile anymore, there was relief in his eyes as he was thankful that he didn't fold so fast, or else he wouldn't see such a rare event occur in front of his eyes.

Despite the very big risk, the reward was extremely worth it.

Kaboom!

With another powerful blast, the Flame of Truth was pushed away without the Fire Elemental King needing to do anything. Coming out of it was Adhara. Her injuries were starting to heal at a visible pace, and it didn't take long before she turned to normal.

Around her was her violet flame which was now brimming with newfound light.

It was glistening, and within is dancing flaming petals.

Remarkably, the diminutive ember, now reduced to half its original size, resiliently clung to her shoulder. It had weathered the ordeal and was clearly exhausted, its form can be seen slightly melting on her shoulder.

Fortunately, it found rejuvenation from Adhara, focusing her new flame on it.

Ignoring the onlookers around her who were astounded by what she managed to achieve, Adhara turned to look at the small ember and used her finger to pat it in appreciation, "I wouldn't be able to endure it without you, you have my thanks little Fire Elemental"

Upon hearing this, the small ember smiled and morphed its fire to form a thumbs-up.

Seeing this made her chuckle pleasantly.

Had the small ember not helped her in that last moment, then she would've been knocked unconscious and things could have ended up badly. But now, as she raised her hand to observe her new flame, a smile crept to her face.

"Worth it... All of that pain was worth it" She mused to herself.
