Sorris sat on the ground, face covered in blood, stare vacant and unmoving.
The golden-haired girl kept adding fuel elements to the fire, maintaining its burn.
"Sorris, don't worry, I'm here, we'll survive, His Majesty will come to rescue us, for he is the supreme True King, comparable to the Holy King, the strongest of all."
"Humans won't fail, we'll stand again, just like countless Fire Kingdoms from a thousand years ago, without their sacrifice, we wouldn't have our current glory."
The golden-haired girl continued speaking, but Sorris remained silent.
Black fog churned around them, continually compressing the space of the fire, no matter how much fuel element the golden-haired girl added, it was useless.
Suddenly, with a puff, the fire went out.
Rod was engulfed in darkness, the illusion realm gradually dissipated.
"Failed?"
Rod's heart was extremely heavy, he couldn't understand what had happened, he didn't even see why the fire went out.
