Synopsis

The chapter begins with the Archduke receiving a powerful elixir from Marquis Bloten, intended to boost mana capacity. He uses it to initiate a dangerous process to refine his fire magic, encountering Rorotia, who informs him that the family's famed 'Breath of Black Flame' is incomplete and limited due to its reliance on pain. The Archduke then discovers his ancestor used pure white flames, potentially offering a new path to transcendence. He reflects on this revelation, which might hold the key to his past life's limitations.
