Orion felt his heart accelerate slightly as he gazed into the now-open compendium. Each page pulsed rhythmically like a heartbeat, showing words of forbidden knowledge and immense power.
Lumi's voice filled with astonishment and quiet admiration, [Master, you really did it!]
Orion smirked lightly and asked in a teasing tone, "Did you doubt me?"
She giggled softly, clearly relieved and proud, [Never, Master! But be careful, it's the Blood Element after all, it comes under the Darkness Camp.]
Orion nodded his head yet still said, "I have mastered enough elements that this won't affect me. Especially Wood."
He took a slow, deep breath, his eyes focused firmly on the gently pulsating pages of the [Sanguine Sage Compendium].
The book seemed almost alive, each crimson-hued page emanating a rhythmic, faintly sinister aura.
He settled himself comfortably onto the lush grass beneath him, crossing his legs and steadying his breathing as he turned his complete attention to the tome.
