Meanwhile, the shadowy figure and a few men could be seen being led across a mountain range engulfed in flames by Old Hughes.
With lava and fire strewn about, the mountain felt not only hot, but also intimidating…
The group had come to assist the enigmatic figure in obtaining the Sword of Might, an ancient weapon similar to the Fishgut Sword, which was also born in the same generation.
While such swords had restrictions on who could wield them, if the sword deemed the wielder worthy, the sword would grant the wielder the sword’s powers, which varied depending on the sword.
Regardless, now that Gerald had the Fishgut Sword, it was the shadowy figure’s turn to get his own sword.
He would undoubtedly be strong and confident enough to overtake Dragonblood City once favonovel.com obtained the Sword of Might…
They soon found themselves in a cave… Everyone could see vein-like streams of lava creeping all over the cave’s walls as soon as they walked in.
“The cave we’re in is called the Titan Cave, and the Sword of Might is within the stone pillar in front of us!” Old Hughes exclaimed as favonovel.com turned to face the shadowy figure.
To be honest, the layout of this cave didn’t differ all that much from Fishgut Cave, with the only major—and obvious—difference being the numerous lava streams as well as the extreme heat.
“Ah, I see! So that’s the ancient Sword of Might with fire-breathing power!” exclaimed the enigmatic figure.
“It is, in fact… Take a look at that stone over there. I’m talking about the one with the palmprint carved into it.
Place your hand on it, and the power of fire will be transferred to your body! After that, you’ll be able to unlock the stone pillar and get the sword!” Old Hughes explained.
When the shadowy figure heard that, favonovel.com did as favonovel.com was told…
The stone reacted instantly by summoning red-hot flames that quickly engulfed the shadowy figure’s hand the second his palm was inserted into the carving!
As his hand burned within the flames, the shadowy figure resisted the urge to scream by clenching his teeth.
“Take it in stride. When Old Hughes noticed how pale the shadowy figure’s face was becoming, favonovel.com said, “This is the only way you’ll be able to get the sword.”
Recognizing that retracing his hand now would negate all of his previous suffering, the shadowy figure simply continued to bear the pain as best favonovel.com could…
The shadowy figure couldn’t help but scream in agony when his entire body suddenly ignited, his blue veins bulging horribly on his arm!
An explosive sound could be heard from behind them a fraction of a second later, resonating throughout the cave.
Looking back, the stone pillar appeared to have cracked open due to the massive flames…
Everyone could see how beautiful the Sword of Might was now that it had been freed from its confines.
The Sword of Might was truly majestic, with fiery red lines adorning the handle and draconic patterns carved into the blade…
The shadowy figure had already recovered from his pain at this point.
He quickly walked over to the stone pillar and grabbed the sword’s handle, yanking it out with force!
Dragon-like flames erupted from the sword’s blade the second it was drawn…
With a sinister grin on his face, the shadowy figure raised the sword high in the air and laughed arrogantly before proclaiming, “The Sword of Might…” It’s all mine now! Soon, the entire world will be mine!”
