Bab 673: Withstand

The fire on the fifth summit of the fire sanctum was scorching. When Atticus first entered the river of fire, it was unrestrained and unpredictable. The fire molecules were the most potent and free he had ever encountered, almost as if they were alive.

Atticus had no idea why this was so. Though they were numerous, as soon as he walked into the river of fire, he could immediately sense just how different these fire molecules were compared to the normal ones.

In simple terms, they were more stubborn, like rebellious teenagers unwilling to listen to instructions.

Just getting through to them was one of the hardest things Atticus had ever done. It required extreme patience, akin to a mentor or parent trying to reach a rebellious teenager.

Atticus had to first control the flames before even thinking about using them to form his domain.
