Flaming Shadows

Although the overwhelming radiation in the air was suffocating, and they felt like they were breathing fire, the Peak Divine Transcendence Masters quickly adapted. Shielding themselves required a significant portion of their energy, but it was a necessary cost. Once they stabilized their barriers and had a moment to think about something else other than surviving, Elrick and the rest of the group turned their gazes toward Cain, their expressions heavy with expectation.

They clearly wanted answers.

Unfortunately for them, Cain simply met their gazes with silence. He had no intention of revealing his secrets. As for the pearl he had taken from the Giant Burning Golem, it was rightfully his—none of them had intervened in the fight, so they had no claim to it. If they want part of it, they could keep dreaming.
