Chapter: 780

She was Ran-yeong.

She tried to move in and bring out Chun Yeowun who had entered the flame, but her body got rebounded by some unknown energy.

Just the force of the energy had made her body shudder.

‘Ah! The fire is fading!’

She had been protecting the Qilin’s Flame in the underground cave for nearly two hundred years.

The flame that had never moved was disappearing right in front of her eyes.

Ran-yeong couldn’t take her eyes off it.

‘Ho-how did this happen...’

It was no wonder that she was dumbfounded.

At the orders of the previous Emperors, she had previously tried to remove the core from the centre of the huge flame.

However, even though her entire body had been reconstructed to be flame resistant, she was unable to go to the centre which had a different level of heat.

‘Is he absorbing the energy in there?’

If that wasn’t the case, the flames that protected the core would never subside.

She couldn’t believe it.

Even though his body harboured cold energy, he was absorbing an energy which was of the opposite nature.

‘Wouldn’t something happen then?’

This was a meeting she had been waiting for for two hundred years.

Since the Lord seemed efficient, she trusted that he could absorb the flame energy, but for one person to have both flame and cold, that’s...

‘The two energies won’t stay still.’

Ran-yeong turned her head and looked at Hu Bong, whose body was covered in flames.

At first, she’d thought that her flames had been transferred to him, but unexpectedly, Hu Bong was gradually generating his own flames.

‘I can do nothing but watch.’

It was the first time for Ran-yeong to witness both situations.

She knew that she could do nothing but observe the two people who were undergoing tremendous changes.

How much time had passed?

Finally, there was some change. It started with Hu Bong.

Woooooow!

The flames which engulfed his body had slowly subsided.

And then disappeared as if his body had absorbed it.

That was when Hu Bong’s skin cracked! From one to many, the skin across his entire body continued cracking and an ash-like smoke slowly drifted off and away from his body.
