Duke possesses Six-Element High-Level Affinity, with a Fire Attribute Affinity far surpassing that of ordinary wizards.
It is this affinity talent that allows him to detect the presence of those Rule Embers. A normal wizard standing in the same spot might only feel a scorching shockwave and intense Fire Elemental Particles, but Duke can discern the subtle, fleeting Rule-level Energy mixed within the shockwave.
That feeling is difficult to describe in words, similar to suddenly hearing a few extremely weak, uniquely toned notes amidst a cacophony of noise.
This is a talent that is hard to acquire through postnatal learning and effort.
Duke quickly assessed the distance between his location and the explosion center.
He was at the ridge area on the outskirts of the Black Stone Plain, not too far from the eruption point.
The shockwave had already swept past his location, the aftershock remained, but posed no lethal threat to his Level 3 Body and Fire Attribute Affinity.
