Faelan now looked at Rakko. “Rakko, how did you go through your meditation?”
Rakko suddenly looked at Faelan with a trembling body, “I met you, tuan” he said with a terrified expression.
“Tell me with more details!” Faelan.
“At that time, I was in a completely foreign and strange place. There's some sort of divider between the black and white space. I stand between the two. Then suddenly there was someone who looked exactly like you, mister” Rakko's body shook again as if he was remembering the terrible events that happened to him. “But, his behavior is more like when you were possessed in gua”
Rakko recounted how a figure like his master tortured him so sadistically. Pluck out each nail and fang. The figure also said that he did not deserve to have the same strength as himself.
Worse still, the figure shows flashbacks of the incident when Rakko's father and mother were hunted by humans, slaughtering his people who live on the outskirts of the forest so cruelly. Rakko who was a child fell from his mother's cradle. Rakko could see sharp arrows piercing through the bodies of his mother and father.
Little Rakko ran with his body injured. As all those heartbreaking flashes happened before him, he felt as if he was returning at that moment. Rakko shouted furiously. But, he immediately came to his senses and recalled what Elysia had said to Faelan just before the master began to meditate. He quickly controlled himself.
Suddenly a figure similar to his master was like being sucked into a black space that now seemed to shrink compared to white space.
When all that was left was a soothing white room, Rakko was already sitting on the dragon altar with tears in his eyes.
“Does that figure offer you something?” Ask Faelan.
“Yes, Tuan” answered Rakko, “The rest of you promised to revive my parents and avenge me, and promised me great strength as long as I wanted to follow his terms. But just before he finished his sentence, he was like being forced out of that white room”
Faelan was silent for a moment.
“What's up, Fae?” Ask Elysia.
“Entahlah. I also do not understand” Faelan said.
Elysia pondered for a moment. But he hastily forgot about it, because there are still many things to do now.
“Alright Rakko” said Elysia, “It looks like you have got an upgrade now. Fae also needs a match” opponent Elysia is now looking at Faelan, “Fae, why don't you show your training results to Rakko? I am also curious, if you are indeed that great, then you will definitely master it in one trial” he said with a sly smile.
Faelan smiles, “Prepare Rakko. I'm really excited now”
“Hei hey hey. Wait a minute” Rakko stepped back.
Rakko is now staring at Elysia, “What do you mean by a rival?”
Faelan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, he inhaled the oxygen around him and gathered his body heat in his hand. Then Faelan opened her eyes. His gaze looked so sharp as if it was shiny. From his hands came sparks.
Rakko who retreated now fell. “Tu.tu.an, please wait”
Faelan started to chant:
"With the spark of will, flames, ignite!"
(That means: With a spark of will, fire, bark!)
Faelan punched towards Rakko who was five meters away from him. A blaze came out from Faelan's fist. The flames hit Rakko.
Rakko protected his face with both hands. “Aaaaaargh! Why can fire cause a hit effect as hard as this?” Rakko is bouncing.
Faelan watched Rakko. The Goblin King did not suffer any injuries. He just bounced around and suffered a non-fatal scorching scar.
Faelan laughed so hard. It seems he is very happy. Then, again he attacked Rakko with his fire magic repeatedly.
“AAAAARGH..! I SURRENDER! I SURRENDER! FORGIVING SIR! AMPUUUUN!” Pekik Rakko was so loud.
The land where Rakko sprawled until it formed a deep basin.
Elysia immediately ran towards Rakko, ready to give healing magic to the poor Goblin King. “Tenakan course, everything has been calculated with mature” he said with a smile.
“Calculated YOUR EYES!! You taper ears!! Your face just looks satisfied to see me tormented like this. Honestly, you enjoyed it, didn't you, HUH?”
“Rakko” call Faelan.
“Iya, sir!” Rakko immediately bowed.
“Look! Look at your whole body!” faelan said calmly.
Rakko then watched his entire body. His body was protected by a golden shield. “What is this sir?”
Faelan just smiled.
“I taught Fae fire” magic explained Elysia, “I just taught her the basics, but she instead asked me to explain also the basis of Aurum protection magic. Who would have thought that Fae could use those two magic simultaneously in his first trial” he continued with a proud expression.
While looking at Faelan in amazement, Elysia thought to herself, Fae, will you become a witch as powerful as you will be? You really are a foreseen child. I was in front of the most talented magician ever born in this world.

Several months have passed in the land of the dragons. If in the human world, time has been running for five years.
The change of seasons in the land of dragons presents a stunning change of scenery. As the winter's cold clutches slowly loosened, the colorful green of spring began to appear. Faelan and Rakko find themselves under the guidance of Elysia, their magic training session taking place in the middle of a season rotation that is so mesmerizing. The air was filled with the fragrant scent of blooming flowers, and the melodious singing of the newly arrived birds became a backdrop of harmony for their diligent efforts. The buffalo cub who used to look small, now grows into a strong and muscular buffalo. Every day that passes in the land of dragons, the three spend time honing their skills, strengthening the bonds inseparable, and together determined to face the trials that await in the future.
One night..
Faelan was lying on top of the dragon altar. Rukko and Elysia were next to him, flanking him. They were gazing at the stars that seemed so close that their light illuminated the land of legend that seemed peaceful, humming a mysterious song from night creatures that look nothing like the crickets and frogs they know.
“Master, why don't you cook that buffalo. Doesn't the meat look fat and delicious?” Rakko.
“Entah Rakko” Faelan now stared at the buffalo lying on the grass. “It seems that I am too emotional to think that buffalo is part of my memories”
The buffalo seemed to be falling asleep after eating so much grass.
“But, isn't the meat of the birds and frogs here delicious? Well. By ruling out its overly exotic form of course” said Faelan.
“Haha. You are absolutely right, sir. Their meat taste is really tender. Especially coupled with your great cooking skills. The spirits of my parents must be very proud to see me from up there. Seeing his son who lives with manners like a human”
“Basic men” said Elysia suddenly, “What she thought was just eating. If you have time to relax, why don't you stand up and start training again”
“Hei” says Rakko, “I am not..”
“Already Rakko!” sela Faelan, “I don't want to hear you guys fighting anymore. Now I just want to enjoy this warm turn of the season”
“Good, master!” rakko said obediently.
Then suddenly..
The night sky that was originally glittering by the light of the stars, suddenly turned into a sinister dark reddish. As there were waves of darkness enveloping the atmosphere, his unimaginably powerful dark magic energy gripped the sky in a puzzling darkness. Faelan, Rakko, and Elysia felt a dark energy that was so gripping, floating in the air.
From a distance, a monstrous troop silhouette appeared, looking like a black shadow ready to attack. They were gathered under the command of the gigantic creatures that dominated the horizon. The creature, as high as a mountain peak, spewed out a fierce black flame, creating terror and destruction in the surroundings. Tension filled the air, and Faelan and his friends felt they were standing on the verge of an adventure filled with a dangerous atmosphere.
