Is Master still not ready?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She complained inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had answered Flamme’s call without hesitation—after all, her master had once again gotten involved in something \"fun.\" But she hadn’t expected the situation to bethisrisky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for her, this was pushing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow curled tighter around her

moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Stacia was a human—fragile, mortal, bound by limits—yet watching the girl now, battered from head to toe, blood streaming down her arms, flames roaring hotter every second, the darkness spirit felt a cold bead of sweat slide down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How... how was she still moving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with all these injuries, Stacia’s expression didn’t waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stance remained firm, her blade still steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beneath her skin, beneath the burns and cuts, that terrifying well of fiery mana only continued to surge—expanding, adapting, evolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This human... she’s trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instincts screamed at her—an ancient, primal warning honed from centuries in the spirit realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer this fight dragged on, the more dangerous Stacia would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and her master were not the only ones with a trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stacia’s flames—currently suppressed by Neru’s authority—were already beginning to flicker unnaturally, responding, resisting, pushing back against the debuffing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness spirit could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vibration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire that was learning, analyzing, adapting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, her flames might simply devour Neru’s restraints whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happens... we’re the ones who’ll be erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She darted her gaze toward her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flamme still stood several meters away, posture steady, magic circulating through her body in silent spirals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Val—the high-ranking wind spirit whose serpentine form flickered invisibly around her—Flamme remained hidden from Stacia’s senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Val’s stealth ability was absolute, masking not only mana but even physical presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of that invisibility, Flamme had enough time to gather mana—slowly consolidating and stabilizing the dangerous spell she intended to unleash next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their finishing move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness spirit’s lips curved into a sharp grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the spell was complete, the balance of this fight would tip entirely in their favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her gaze back to Stacia, who stood panting, yet unyielding, surrounded by the faint shimmer of rising heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air cracked like heated glass around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had to end before Stacia broke through all restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright...\" the spirit whispered to herself, eyes narrowing. \"Let’s keep her busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twin daggers materialized in her hands—black as the deepest abyss, gleaming with a faint purple sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit flipped them in reverse grip, the blades humming with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHLUPP—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body melted into the ground, liquefying into shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stacia reacted instantly, instinct sharpening every nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp breath sheunleashed her flames, letting them swirl around her body like a raging inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FOOOOOSH!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow dagger pierced out of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—SLASH!!!—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Stacia’s blade met it cleanly, the crimson steel shattering the dark construct in a single motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then came another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And

by invisible hands, thenhurled themselves at Stacia at mach-like speeds, turning the entire battleground into a storm of killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FOOOOOOOSHHH!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the dagger storm fully reached her, the darkness spirit smirked—andsplit herself apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body rippled and separated into multiple shadow clones that rose from the floor like black phantoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each clone bore a different weapon forged from pure darkness—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a spear, broadsword, jagged bow, towering axe, a curved scythe, halberd and a brutal mace—every one of them radiating murderous hostility as they rushed in from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a perfect trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A net of death with no room for escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All attacking at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness spirit felt excitement well in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She won’t escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana-burning flames or not, her authority over darkness and void should blunt enough of that absurd ability to pierce through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment—the gap she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She prepared to strike the killing blow—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stacia moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or a dash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single luminous streak of crimson-gold flashed through the battlefield like a moon tearing apart the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment the darkness spirit froze, unable to process the sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HIDDEN BLADE TECHNIQUE: THIRD

fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness spirit’s severed form ignited, the void screaming as it was forced to recoil back toward the spirit realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing she saw before she was burnt away—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—was Stacia standing tall, her blade glowing like a sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woooahhh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did youseethat just

knew was that the sword skill Stacia unleashed was too clean, too fast, too impossibly sharp to be anything normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the emperor, who had watched countless geniuses rise and
