Within moments, they arrived in the air just above the lava whirlpool, the entrance to Trial by Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, I'll be sure to bring back a few goods, Lord Narvim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, sure. Do your best, but remember to be careful, Vahn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Vaan jumped off Narvim's back and dived head-first into the whirlpool of scorching lava below without a shred of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first arrived in the Land of Fire, the lava still posed some threat. But after reaching 60% fire affinity, the surface lava was no different from a warm bath in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the deeper depths of the trial could benefit or harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan's figure collided with the lava surface and quickly submerged under its fiery depths, causing his fresh set of clothes to evaporate instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narvim's eyes twitched at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after he had warned Vaan, the person still went ahead and descended into the trial with such speed. He couldn't help but worry for Vaan's safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person certainly didn't give him peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Narvim.\" Khaleesi suddenly appeared beside Narvim before she said, \"Vaan should be fine in the trial for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although human flesh is weak beyond comparison to dragon scale, Vaan has both the Earth Spirit Body and the Fire Spirit Body. That's not something that usually appears in a single person. Still, since he has both physiques, his body's toughness shouldn't be much different from a red dragon's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's likely that even the fiery temperature of the second stage will pose no harm to him. Though, it's a different story once he reaches the third stage,\" Khaleesi stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Khaleesi, huh? So you also came to see him off,\" Narvim acknowledged his wife's presence before stating, \"I'm aware of all that, but his speed of descent is still concerning. I just hope he doesn't overestimate himself down there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, it's out of our hands now. Trial takers aren't allowed to receive help from anyone.
