Eeh'liel's voice cut through the air, smooth yet terrifying. "Congratulations, Aiden… You've obtained the Primordial Flame. I've been waiting for this moment."
Aiden's heart pounded. This was no coincidence. The Lifeless Emperor had been watching him the entire time. Eeh'liel wasn't just after the Skyfire… he wanted the Primordial Flame.
Myne stepped closer to Aiden, her hand glowing with a defensive spell. "Be careful. He's far stronger than anyone you've faced so far."
Eeh'liel raised a pale hand, his eyes burning with dark intent. "Give me the flame… or be consumed by it."
Aiden clenched his jaw, his body instinctively preparing for battle. "If you want it… come take it."
A sinister smile spread across Eeh'liel's face. "As you wish."
The ground shook as the Lifeless Emperor unleashed a torrent of death energy, the sky darkening as shadows writhed around him. The battle for the Primordial Flame was about to begin.
