Chapter 96 – The Fourth-Rank Lord Moves
.
"You should have read the situation… but you refused. Success, then success, then success… leads to a swift failure."
The Fourth-Rank Lord whispered. His expression was empty of any detail—completely serious.
The air around him… began to change.
It was a decisive sign.
The Fourth-Rank Lord was finally going to move.
In contrast, I did not fear it.
Yes, I felt worry… confusion…
But fear? Dread?
Are you kidding me… hahaha, of course not.
Three years of constant battles… each time the danger greater, and my chances of dying rising.
After all those encounters, feeling anxious and unsettled had become normal.
Yes, I had never faced a Lord with such capabilities before…
But I also possessed what those at my level did not.
I raised my hand.
Red lines like flames began to wrap around it…
Then spread across my entire body.
The energy of the Flame Art had become stronger than ever before.
