Oblivious to what was happening with Rex, Adhara, and Evelyn walk out of the forgery.
Earlier the master blacksmith of the Dwarven Kingdom, Skoghad told them that the fire in the forgery wasn't able to heat the fragments of the Amuerus Katana. And true enough, the fragments only sizzle lightly.
Under their inspection, the body of the fragments was also still cold.
Since there can be no re-creating the Amuerus Katana if they can't heat the fragments, Adhara and Evelyn decided to give it a try, using their new fires to test whether they are strong enough to heat the fragments.
Conjuring an ember, the two then combined their fires below the furnace.
At first sight of the combination, the surrounding temperature inside the forgery which is already quite hot increases even more. Skoghad was forced to step back a little lest his skin will be burned.
It was then the fragments started to sizzle even stronger and the body slowly got warm.
Both girls imbued more spirit energy into their fires and even turn into their Spirit Gladiator Form, putting everything they had into heating up the furnace. Soon enough, a smile crept to their faces when the fragments turns reddish.
Just that alone shows that they are successful in heating up the fragments.
Skoghad nodded his head in affirmation, it seems their fires would do. But a couple of seconds later, Adhara and Evelyn moan as their Spirit Gladiator Form vanishes and they revert back to their normal state.
"We can't hold it for long, we need more practice" Evelyn said, panting slightly.
Adhara nodded her head in agreement, the level of concentration they need to keep their eighth-rank realm fires burning is quite high. On the day of fixing the Amuerus Katana, they would need to be more efficient and effective with their fires.
But at the very least, now they know that their fires can heat up the fragments.
Along the way heading back to their room before preparing to train again with the mutated animals around the Dwarven Kingdom, Evelyn steals a glance at Adhara who is walking in front of her leisurely.
'How's her fire stronger than mine? Is it because of her stronger spirit?' Evelyn thought.
While they were heating up the furnace earlier, she can tell that Adhara's purple fire is doing most of the work. It was weird enough considering that their fires are not that far off in terms of heat.
It's not necessarily about the power of the fire, more like something is different.
Evelyn can't quite put her finger on the thing that makes her fire and Adhara's fire different, but then she also remembered that night when she tries to take down the Black Hand that tries to escape.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack then, her fire was also deflected, and the Black Hand managed to escape.
If not for Flunra coming to the rescue and making sure that the Black Hand is injured, then she would've managed to escape unharmed. 'But Adhara's fire can hurt those Black Hands, I don't get it...'
Just before they departed, Flunra takes a stop at a warehouse near the castle.
Dindora was the one inside the warehouse where the Black Hands that Flunra had taken back to interrogate were placed, their bodies were tied and there was also an ancient rune that prevents them from circulating their power.
At that time, Adhara wanted to test their powers so one of the Black Hand is unshackled.
Adhara also saw the scene where Evelyn's fire was deflected, and thus she decided to use her own violet fire on one of the Black Hands. She didn't use anything fancy, she just burns the tip of her index finger.
Pressing her index finger on the unshackled Black Hands, the violet fire pierces through.
But when Evelyn also did the same with her index finger, there's a resistance separating her index finger from the Black Hand's skin which confirms that what the escaped Black Hand did is not luck.
Flunra told them that this might be the power of a rare ancient human clan.
Since he has fought against the members of this rare ancient human clan, he was quite familiar with their powers. It's called the Ten Thousand Magus of Pride, a clan consisting of chosen Awakened from ancient times.
Each of them was chosen by Master Olek to have this powerful ability.
Master Olek uses his own bloodline as a make-up and bestowed it on the chosen Awakened, granting them immense physical strength and very tough defense while losing the power to conjure any spells.
It was stated by Flunra that he fought these people in an accident.
Flunra is not sure why but he knows that these Ten Thousand Magus of Pride is only used by the ancient humans not to target powerful people, but for a battle where there are none of those important and powerful individuals.
One instance was when ten of them were sent to a battle against an army of Demons.
Despite the fact the demons have thousands of soldiers, these ten Awakeend from the Ten Thousand Magus of Pride shreds through them, and none of the Demons' attacks whether it's physical or magical can hurt them.
Even now, Flunra still doesn't know their true power.
Since he doesn't know what to guess despite having to fight them, the three can only attribute this question to Rex and see if he knows anything. But that incident haunted Evelyn's mind for the last day.
As they arrived in front of the room, the entire place suddenly rumbles.
Coming from a place that was not that far away from the Dwarven Kingdom's territory was a shockwave that causes the entire place to rumble, the barrier protecting the Dwarven Kingdom was shaken by that shockwave.
Upon feeling this rumbling, Adhara and Evelyn look at each other and rush outside.
Like the two of them, many of the Dwarves also went outside to look at the event happening in the distance. Multiple shockwaves can be seen rushing from its source, they create a circling arc in the broken sky.
Without needing to confirm, there should be a high-caliber fight nearby.
Adhara looks around before she was troubled, "Where is Flunra? I can't sense him anywhere"
"Isn't he supposed to be in the room? Did he perhaps go over to check out the fight?" Evelyn also questioned, the two of them can confirm that there's no scent of Flunra inside the Dwarven Kingdom.
Since the snow is quite thick, their senses were also limited than the norms.
Right beside them to their left, hundreds of Dwarves clad in armor which should come from the military section of the Dwarven Kingdom march in a union towards the gate. Some of them are riding big mutated bears with most of them having the choice of a hammer as their weapon.
Glancing to the side, Evelyn and Adhara can also see the Dwarf King above.
On the snowy mountain quite far away to their left was the Dwarf King standing on an ice spire with the notorious War Maul of Glacia in his hand, the breezing snow didn't seem to faze his eyes that are fixated on the fight in the distance.
Even the King of Dwarves has his attention picked by this destructive fight.
But as this barrage of shockwaves continued, shifting the breezing cold air into a chaotic manner, everyone inside the Dwarven Kingdom looks up to the sky as the heaven started collapsing violently.
"It's going to be the First Breath soon, the Executor has done it now..."
Evelyn looks at Skoghad on the side with a questioning look, "What's the First Breath, and what do you mean by 'the Executor has done it now', isn't he not supposed to do this, or else the world will break?"
Upon hearing this, Skoghad shakes his head in disagreement.
"The First Breath is the initial or first stage of the World's Awakening. During this time, the mana of the world drastically decreases, making every living being in this world significantly weaker" Skoghad's gaze was fixed on the incomprehensible black-and-white shockwaves as he explained.
Turning his head towards Evelyn, he then continued, "As for what I meant by what I said..."
"In response to our power level, the world will not break and instead will adjust herself. Since the Executor has come out again and caused a distortion in the power level, he is either careless and got swallowed by his anger or he has already finished preparing and is ready to confront the First Breath"
Hearing the news alone makes Adhara and Evelyn feel a sense of nervousness inside.
Just the thought of the Executor finishing his preparation to absolutely annihilate the entire world and reign back human supremacy is quite terrifying, and the two of them couldn't help but feel immense pressure on their backs.
Now they knew exactly what Rex has always been feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSpeaking of the Silverstar Pack in context, their singular problem was time that they do not have. Each normal day has become a luxury and is appreciated as they usually don't have time to grow.
Even if their journey started a year earlier, things will probably end up the same.
Rex and those who would be under the Silverstar Pack wouldn't have a flat slope to reach the peak of their powers, their journey will be hazardous, and those who can't keep up will perish entirely.
"If it only makes everyone weaker, then isn't that a good thing?" Adhara eventually asked.
Although the aftermath of the World Awakening will be catastrophic, they should still have time to at least prepared themselves and also get stronger as the mana of the world recovers. Nobody would be fighting if they are weaker.
But that is a naive way to approach things, the fight would not stop.
"No, it's not a good thing. Races that rely on magic will dwindle. Be it bad blood or simple domination, there are still power-hungry entities that would conquer them. Out of the events, the humans' wall would probably be the first one to be attacked or taken down" Skoghad replied calmly.
Upon saying that, the demeanor around him changed as his expression also turns vicious.
Just then Skoghad turns to look at Adhara and Evelyn directly with a different spark in his eyes, "I'm also confused as to why the Executor did this, knowing the repercussions that come along with it, but this is a good thing for the high-ranking Supernatural races"
"But my guess is that someone hurt the Executor's pride, and he decided to go all out"
Knowing that all of the Executors are very prideful and power-hungry due to their immense standing and power, that is the best guess Skoghad can come up with that could make the Executor like this.
It can be a strength and weakness, depending on the Executors at hand.
"Also, if every living being got equally weaker regardless of who they are and which race they belong to, then that also includes other Supernaturals" Skoghad continued, he then saw the confusion on Adhara and Evelyn's faces. "The Elders of the Supernaturals..."
Evelyn and Adhara can feel their backs sweating when they heard this.
Supernatural Elders that comes to mind was definitely Flunra, he was a terrifying monster and his power is still prominent ever since he joined the Silverstar Pack, and that alone is petrified their minds.
"Their powers will also get weaker to the point of the world can actually contain them"
"Unlike the humans, our elders are still pretty much alive right now. If they got weaker to the point of the world was able to contain their powers, then slowly, one by one, they will start to awaken from their slumbers" Pausing for a second, Skoghad then asked, "Lady Adhara, Lady Evelyn, what do you think will happen when the Elders of the Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Shapeshifters, Undeads, and other races awakened from their slumbers?"
Listening to Skoghad's question, both of their throats tighten in response.
Imagining countless individuals with Flunra-level power appearing from each of the Supernatural races would definitely corner humanity, and an anomaly like the Silverstar Pack who doesn't belong to either side will definitely be a victim.
Many things needed to be prepared before the First Breath happened if they want to survive.
Skoghad inspected their expressions before he shifted his eyes back to the multiple shockwaves decorating the sky and declared, "It will be total chaos for everybody. Put it in a term that humans can understand then if the First Breath arrived, it will be the Supernatural Emergence all over again..."
