Bruce could sense it clearly now.
Ash had already reached the peak of A-Rank.
And it was still advancing.
Halfway toward S-Rank.
Bruce exhaled slowly.
'Already?'
An A-Ranked Devourer Dragon like Ash was already capable of defeating many S-Ranked beasts using Soul Flame alone.
Once Ash fully stepped into S-Rank... It'll get even stronger
its access to the Devourer Flame Library would expand.
More flames.
More abilities.
More terrifying potential.
Bruce raised his hand slightly.
A soft pulse of Life Glance flowed outward.
The calming authority of vitality surrounded Ash, gently stabilizing the dragon's circulation without interrupting its concentration.
Then Bruce spoke quietly in his mind.
'Vaelith, you know what to do.'
[I do] The world answered instantly. The guardian had already been watching. The space around them shimmered faintly.
Without disturbing Ash's focus.
both Bruce and the dragon vanished.
They reappeared beside the world core.
