Chapter 863: Black Flames (2/2)

”I am alright.”

”Who attacked you? Those flames are weird.”

”I don't know, she looked like a woman. Her whole body is covered in the black cloak.”

”Why did she attack you? Is there a conflict?”

”Conflict my ass. She just ambushed me out of nowhere. She seems to be proficient in hiding her own presence, she is almost as skilled as your shadow mice.

Damn it, I want to kill her so bad. Those flames are torturous.”

Sam went and meet with the young master with who he was in contact.

”I want some details regarding this incident, can you put a word out?”

”Sure.”

Sam carefully checked Arkiv's condition again and again for the rest of the day. He felt like the flesh that came into contact with the black flame is completely different from any burnt flesh he saw before.

It almost sucked the vitality and spiritual energy along with the normal burning process.

By evening the young master came back anxiously and said.

”Sam, the guards at the city gate found something in the nearby forest. You might want to take a look at it.”

Sam took off on harbinger hurriedly and within a few minutes, he is already at the city gate. On the way, he could see some black smoke coming out of the forest as he neared it got clearer and clearer.

There is a patch of forest burning in these black flames. Sam activated energy vision and tried to concentrate to the maximum.

He could see the vitality of the forest leaving as the flame spread.

If this goes on, by the end of it the patch left wouldn't be good enough to even grow grass for the next few years.

Sam circled on the harbinger as he created a fire in an opposite direction with his golden flame around the patch with the black

He didn't let the golden flame spread and instead just let the contacted trees burn and this created a ring and now the black flames will be cut there, not spreading directly.

If it is a normal flame, this would have been good enough, but this black flame is even contacting the soil and rocks, so this would be a bit troublesome.

But he remembered the spiritual energy requirement of the flame and was a bit relieved. The soil doesn't contain as much active spiritual energy as the trees, so it wouldn't be a problem for a bit, but it would take a long time for the whole patch to go off.

So, he took this chance to experiment a bit with this.

He threw some water at the flames, but it also got caught and burned. He then threw some wine, biofuel, a methane gas container, and such.

The reaction with wine is not much as for the Bio-fuel and Methane, they didn't give off the expected reaction. The flame is burning them down instead of using them to propagate more.

After some thought, Sam took off his feather coat and went near the flames. He activated partial fusion and placed his hands into the black flame.

He felt like something foreign is trying to invade him when the black flame tried to swallow the golden flame. Both of them are clashing together.

Sam retracted the fusion and let his arm burn.

He felt a hissing pain as he took his arm back.

He now understood why Arkiv said it is torturous. The flame is not just burning, the spiritual energy that is responsible for easing the pain and heloing him with endurance was being sucked out along with vitality.

Which makes him both weak and vulnerable.

He didn't who anything on his face as he observed the whole process carefully.

While burning in the flames, his arm is slowly withering, but the flame didn't spread up his arm, because he tried his best to cut off the connection between the spiritual energy in the arm and the rest of his body.

Arman was anxious when he saw the arm being burned like this, even the young master who followed is feeling a bit afraid at Sam's nonchalance.

At this moment, all of a sudden the black flame on Sam's arm was replaced by the golden flame and his withered arm slowly started getting back to normal.
