Even Vale failed to notice the presence of this figure, who was observing them.
He was just focused on defeating the creature in front of him…
'Ember King… There shouldn't be any entity like you in here…' Vale mused as he moved faster than any Sword Expert the others had ever seen.
Then, his blade cut through the fire of the Ember King, dispersing it into sparks…
'Let's try how strong this is…' Vale then used his aura as it rippled outward, forming a barrier that shielded the nearest mercenaries from the heat that followed. His aura was quite mysterious as well but as expected, it worked just like how he imagined it to be…
Still, the King pressed harder.
Lava surged from its chest, forming a torrent of flame that threatened to engulf Vale and the others behind him…
"Now!" Ilya shouted…
"Support him!"
At this time, he had already confirmed the presence of the Fire Stone! Now, they just had to defeat this Ember King and remove any obstacles!
