"The Black Fla," the deity breathed, its tone reverent. "Ah, my divine fla."
Jaegar approached cautiously, feeling the heat radiating from the black flas even from a distance. "What do I do?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
The deity's response was imdiate. "Absorb it, as you did with the earth fla. But be warned—this will be far more intense."
The flas flickered and danced with an unnatural intensity, their edges rippling with a ghostly shimr. These weren't ordinary flas; they exuded an ominous, bone-chilling energy that sent a shiver down Jaegar's spine.
"Wait, can I observe them like it did with the earth fla?" Jaegar asked, before going in.
"What? You want this fla too?" Deity's said in a surprised tone.
"Well, if it's as powerful as you claim to be, then yes," Jaegar said as a matter of fact.
"Boy, let tell you, this isn't your typical type of fla. Compared to an earth fla, this is far more dangerous and more potent than any fla. Even the superior blue fares in front of the black fla."
"You have already absorbed the first fla, and if you don't absorb this fla, how can I get it myself? You need to absorb the fla, and I will help you."
"This fla has the power to strengthen your very bones, to make you more resilient, more powerful than any mortal could ever imagine. You've been through the first tier already—basic body strengthening. This fla will take you to the second tier: Interdiate Body strengthening. It will reshape your bones, making them stronger than steel. But be warned—this process will be excruciating."
Jaegar felt his breath catch in his throat. The last ti he had absorbed a fla, the Earth Fla, it had been a painful experience, but it had granted him imnse physical strength. Now, he was being told that this fla would go even deeper, affecting his very bones. He steeled himself, his resolve firm. Though it was painful, the result had been shocking; his physical power had increased bounds.
Listening to his description of the black flas, he wanted to absorb imdiately.
"What do I have to do?" Jaegar asked, his voice steady.
"Touch the fla," the deity instructed. "Let it enter your body. It will find your bones and begin the transformation. But the pain... the pain will be unlike anything you've felt before."
"But first summon the earth fla, surround yourself with the earth fla, then touch the black fla," the deity instructed.
Jaegar raised his hand; the oragne fla lit up his hand, burning fiercely.
Jaegar approached the black flas, his hand outstretched. The heat from the flas was intense, yet it didn't burn his skin. It was as if the flas were alive, sensing his presence, waiting for him to make the first move. He hesitated only for a second before plunging his hand into the heart of the black fire.
The mont his fingers touched the flas, they surged forward, wrapping around his arm like serpents. The earth fla shrieked around his hand.
The flas weren't hot—at least, not in the traditional sense—but they carried a deep, penetrating heat that Jaegar could feel spreading through his body. The fire raced up his arm, across his chest, and down into his legs, sinking into his very bones.
Suddenly, the pain hit.
It started as a dull ache in his bones, but it quickly intensified into a searing, agonizing sensation.
His bones felt as if they were being crushed, shattered, and then rebuilt.
Jaegar collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain, his body convulsing as the black flas continued their work. His bones cracked audibly, breaking apart only to reform monts later, stronger and more durable than before.
He was sweating profusely, his clothes drenched, and the smoke of his sweat being evaporated flew out of his body.
The pain was unbearable, like molten lava being poured into his skeleton, but Jaegar gritted his teeth, refusing to scream.
Jaegar's body was covered in sweat, his muscles twitching uncontrollably as the flas continued their brutal work. His bones cracked and shattered repeatedly, the sound echoing through the chamber like breaking glass. But each ti they broke, they reford, stronger than before. He could feel the power surging through him, even through the blinding pain.
Hours passed. The agony seed never-ending, but slowly, the process began to wind down.
The black flas retreated, leaving Jaegar gasping for breath, his body trembling. As the flas left his body, a black, viscous liquid oozed from his pores, pooling on the ground around him. The liquid hissed and bubbled as it touched the stone floor, releasing a foul, acidic sll.
The Fla Deity spoke again, its tone more subdued now. "That liquid is the waste—the impurities that were purged from your bones. It's highly corrosive, so don't touch it. But it ans the process is complete. Your bones are now infused with the Black Fla, strengthened beyond anything you could have achieved on your own."
Jaegar lay there for a mont, exhausted, his body still aching from the ordeal. But as he slowly pulled himself to his feet, he realized that sothing had changed. His body felt... different.
Lighter, yet more solid. His bones no longer felt fragile; they felt like iron, unyielding and powerful. He could feel they beca dense, tingling with power, like never before.
He looked down at his hands, clenching them into fists. He could feel the strength in his bones, the solidity of his fra. He had survived the Black Fla, and he had erged stronger for it.
"Don't be so smug about it. If I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have done it, The deity spoke in his mind, arrogantly.
Jaegar sighed and replied, "Well, thank you for your help. I will be sure to help you."
"Yeah, yeah, rember it well. I will need it in the future."
The Fla Deity's voice ca out again: "You're not done yet, boy. There is still one more Divine Fla to find."
"It seems luck has been on my side; I am sure we will find it within no ti," Jaegar assured him.
