Chapter 2199: 2199. Purifying The Body

If they could only read her mind as she went through this process, they would know how much she hid from them.

"That guy said this was the best way to make a pure flame core. That I should make a pure flame core and not a fire core or anything else. But he also said I could try to make a true flame core and be better." Remey\'s mind shook slightly as she thought this to herself.

Not because she was told not to make a true flame core, but because the origin being that had told her what it thought best was the pure flame core. But the true flame core was stronger. It was also well within her grasp. Just a challenge to overcome. Why would she let that get away from her?

"I made the potion with every herb containing ancient fire mana, pure fire mana, and even had some fire mana spirit race condense it and purify it. My partner even added part of their very own mana." Remey knew this was already well above what the origin being had told her about.

She recalled the instructions. Find many herbs that had the fire mana she ended and consume them. Use all that new fire mana that she did not control as a force that repelled her very own controlled fire mana.

Once that was done, she would feel the manas clash. The same fire mana that she would have absorbed was now being used as a tool to fight her own body and soul. Something that would seem idiotic and incredibly dangerous to any other that was not a dragon soul. Especially a fire dragon soul.

That mana would force every single potential pore and aspect of her being to open up to fire mana. Parts of her being that had not properly acclimated to fire mana or had not grown enough would be influenced entirely. It was akin to an awakening.

The issue was, that in repelling all that inner mana, it would leave her weak and on the edge of her life. Right there, waiting for death.

As that was the case, Remey felt the pressure of everything around her. The air itself felt violent when she breathed in and out. Her own thoughts were like screaming. No, that was her screaming. Her soul was screaming as it was in pain. Or was that her body. Now, it was both. She had united them on her own path following Ignus. Allowing her to stand beside him as the only one that was not born a dragon who would not burn from his flames.

Every slight move of her muscles proved that she had lost something vital to her survival. No fool would ever expel their own internal mana. It even left the life mana that acted as part of her weak. Barely holding on. It was the first time she had properly sensed her very own life mana. She now understood what Walker meant when he told them about the process in which he spurred his own life mana to act and change him. To become what he was properly going to be by combining all the bonds he had together.

Now she felt that very same chance.

"Make it boil. Make it roar. Make it howl. Bring it all through, my entire being."

These instructions that Remey had gained were what she repeated within her mind. It was supposed to be for the fire manas she had within her stomach that she had used to expel the fire mana from her body. But instead, she had isolated the life mana that resided within her as a living being.

Since she had done so, she followed the method she was told about but spurred the life mana she had touched upon. Even a single fingertip on that life mana felt right. Even the tiniest inkling of what life mana felt was right. She could feel it. Her instincts screamed that this was the way!

The fire mana within her stomach suddenly surged to follow the hectic life mana. Not to cause damage, but to bring forth a burst of mana that was much more pure to run through every facet of who Remey was. Her soul and body had become one, but now they were perfectly united in an extremely high form.

Her very perception of what she had been changed. She found that the impurities left within her body and soul because of the way that manas flowed within the world had left her behind. Had stopped her from becoming higher than what she was. She would need thousands of years within the fire elemental plane at the deepest level to comprehend flames in this way. To become closer to them.

Within her heart, she felt a spark. Not a flame, but a spark that resonated with colors of flame that did not even have a form or method of description. Flames that she had never seen. Flames that no one she knew could have seen. Even Walker would stand in awe with nessing them.

\'Flames of life have returned to the world. Existence is smiling.\'

Before Walker and Ignus could slowly start to send the purified fire mana back, they felt it stolen from their control. Walker was the most stunned at this as he watched and felt the fire mana being absorbed within Remey. Right at her heart, he could vaguely sense the density of that mana rising. The purity of that mana rising.

The slightly golden flames that covered her would have been more akin to light flames, but he knew that this wasn\'t the case. That they were a flame made from Remey spending her very own life to create. A risk of her life that was causing Ignus to lose his calm demeanor more and more as he wanted to rush forward and stop all this.

The paleness was receding though, that was what stopped Ignus and Walker from acting at all. They could also feel the resonance with Remey\'s heart beating and the condensing pure fire mana moving with it.

Within Remey\'s heart, a pure gold core of pure flames had come forth from the spark. Her very life mana had fused together with the pure fire mana she had taken from various herbs, materials, and even her partner, the grand fire spirit. It had all been the perfect storm to pair with her challenger\'s will to go beyond what that origin being had told her.

When she felt the true flame core settle and the energy within her body relax, Remey looked at the two awestruck people before her. "That went fine, no issues-"

"You absolute fool! What would you have done if you had been unable to bring that core in to existence. That was your heart. All that mana within your heart forming a new core of who you

are!? That was ridiculous!"

\'Wait, no, Ignus-"

"Why would you toy with your life like that!?"

"IGNUS! I am fine! I formed a true flame core and became a true flame dragon soul. I am stronger and it all worked out so you can just..." Remey lost what she was saying as she saw Walker smirking slightly and Ignus looking entirely different from his usual self.

"I get it. I\'m sorry. But now even your strongest flames can\'t burn me. I might even be able to burn you if you don\'t get stronger. So catch up." Remey leaned on Ignus who had rushed to her. His actions were unbecoming of the royal flame dominator dragon Ignus that anyone would think of when his name was spoken.

"My flames would never have burned the only one I have met that I can call an equal in both mind and body to myself."

"Well, my soul and body are the same thing, so why don\'t you just pledge to stand equal to me for a few thousand years at least. Or can you not decide that even though you are a royal

dragon?"

"Just standing equal? No, we will stand above all others side by side."

Walker didn\'t stick around to ask any questions. He was just glad that the two of them were finally being somewhat honest. Even though it was in a roundabout way of speaking. He also didn\'t want to be here when Remey realized how much of the alchemy lab she had just

melted.

He was pretty happy to see that existence had noticed what was going on too. Not that he was certain why he had also seen the notification. Something within him told him that he just had that much of a connection to everything now though.

"Wait, why is everything melted and ash covered? I thought you two were protecting

everything?"

Walker was too late in his escape.
