Kim Hajun exhaled as he watched mountaintop after mountaintop lose their green and gradually turn brown as Vurs elementals stripped away their trees. He turned his head towards Tafel and Vur, who were sitting on the ground next to each other. Tafel was leaning on Vur, and Vurs arm was wrapped around the demons shoulder. A bitter look appeared on Kim Hajuns face before he shook his head and corrected his expression. What other preparations do you have to deal with the Oebu Sin?
Tafel sat up straight and turned her head towards Kim Hajun. Well, the demon said, what preparations do you suggest we should have?UppTodated from Hajun stared at Vur and Tafel with a blank face. Why did it feel like they hadnt done anything at all to ready themselves? Do you have enough recovery items? Are you going to place down any traps? He frowned upon seeing the couple stare at him as if he were speaking an unknown language. Have you alerted the lords? There will be people assisting you in defeating the Oebu Sin, correct?
Other dragons and phoenixes, Vur said and nodded.
Theyre going to fight together? Kim Hajun asked. Really?
Yes, Vur said. Ill make them.
Okay, Kim Hajun said and furrowed his brow. Just to be sure, are you positive youre strong enough to make that happen? Like, have you gone to the fiftieth floor and obtained your innate ability orbs? If you think you can defeat the dragons and phoenixes here without them, youre sorely mistaken. They all have unique innate abilities granted to them by the tower.
Tafel blinked a few times as she read before flipping her wrist over. She made eye contact with Vur, and he scooted backwards by a few steps, still remaining seated on the ground. An imprint appeared on Tafels forehead as a blood-red phoenix flame appeared above her palm. She squinted at it, and the flame gradually lightened as portions of it began to burn white. Then, the flame disappeared but Tafels concentrated look didnt.
Is it invisible fire? Vur asked. It looks strong.
Theres nothing to test on right now, Tafel said and glanced at Kim Hajun, causing the cloaked man to nervously take a few steps to the side. The demon turned her head back towards Vur. But theres a lot more to it than invisibility. Let me practice first, and Ill show you when we fight the Oebu Sin. She glanced down at the orb Vur was holding by his chest. Are you going to use it?
Vur held the innate ability orb out in front of himself. He looked into it, but he didnt see himself like Tafel said she had; all the orb did was sparkle.
Try eating it, Stella said, her head poking out of Vurs chest. Also, wheres my orb? Im one of your friends too, right, Vur?
The root bracelet on Tafels wrist flashed, and an orb flew towards Stella. She caught it and stuffed it inside Vurs chest. Thanks, tree, she said and retreated back inside of her human fortress.
Vur shrugged his shoulders before polymorphing his head into that of a dragons before throwing the innate ability orb into his mouth. With a gulp, he swallowed it whole. He touched his stomach, and a little puff of black smoke seeped out of his skin before dissolving in the air.
Was that it? Tafel asked. First silver mist, and now black smoke?
