Chapter 186: Rune Art: Finmaen Runic Circle

"It is not over yet. Remain still and control the energy that I am about to give you," August instructed.

Ophelia, her senses heightened, wasted no time in following his instructions. She straightened her posture, her muscles tense with readiness, as she prepared herself for what was to come.

With a flash of sapphire light, August opened his spatial ring, revealing a pair of high-grade rank-0 fire elemental cores in his hands. The cores exuded a potent aura of fiery energy, their vibrant glow dancing in the dimly lit room. Carefully, August positioned the elemental cores around Ophelia, their presence imbuing the air with an intense heat.

August's hands moved with practised precision, forming a sequence of intricate hand signs in rapid succession. Each sign carried a weight of power and purpose, invoking the ancient language of runes. The room filled with a sense of mysticism as the air crackled with energy.
