The Fire Spirit had not deceived him. The small spark was but a tiny fraction of the Sacred Fire, yet the moment Jaekyung took it, a crack began to form in the perfect seal. 'It was a good thing I wasn't greedy.'
Though it was called a crack, it was more like a microscopic scratch on a great steel plate. But the moment he sensed that small scratch, Jaekyung fled the sealed area without a second glance. It was an instinctual reaction.
An indescribable premonition exploded within him, and alarm bells rang ceaselessly in his head and heart, sending warnings. Even after leaving the sealed area, Jaekyyung continued to flee.
He desperately wanted to fly, and a strong impulse to return to his original form for speed surged within him, but he suppressed it and pushed off the ground with his two feet. He ran day and night, but his anxiety did not lessen in the slightest.
It felt as if a terrifying predator was chasing him from behind with its jaws wide open. 'I think I've really caused some trouble.' As Jaekyung ran diligently, he sensed his own unstable energy and furrowed his brows.
Jaekyung was confident in his mastery of the Aura Concealment Art. He realized at once that this anomaly wasn't because of his Aura Concealment Art, but because his energy itself was undergoing a great change. 'My energy is growing.
Why?'
