Guru Mountain, Ghost Wind Valley.
Igor and the Spirit Book continued to face off in a peculiar manner, neither yielding, and the situation seemed to be at a standstill for the time being.
The Spirit Book was still moaning on the bonfire, sounding like it was dying over and over again; if it could roll, it would have tumbled all over the ground by now.
Igor, on the other hand, maintained his cold demeanor, showing no signs of hunger-induced weakness or fatigue.
Kadi remained rooted to the spot. If it weren't for the rope connecting him to Igor, he would have found a place to hide long ago. Firstly, he wasn't used to seeing others tormented. Every time he witnessed such a scene, it reminded him of his experiences being confined in the Slumber Room. Secondly, Kadi felt utterly ashamed. As the master of Guru Mountain, it was a profound disgrace to have an outsider discover a secret at such a critical moment.
