Layla's Target

At that moment, Vicente and his companions gathered around the enchanted well into which Rory had descended hours earlier. It was in the heart of a scorching desert, nearby a pool of molten lava that emitted intense heat and mana associated with the element of fire.

Yet, for those who could withstand the intense heat, entering the lava pool offered a unique opportunity to immerse themselves, channel their fiery mana, and refine their abilities.

Rory was in the circular pool, which had a radius of one meter. His body, enveloped in orange flames of mana, was surrounded by three pentagrams, and he was completely bare, having lost all his hair to the fiery liquid.
