Chapter 5397

James gently massaged his forehead.

‘How troublesome.” Despite how complicated it would be, James wanted to give it ago to acquire the

Flammae’s primitive inscriptions.

He slowly descended the staircase and soon reached the bottom of the pit.

Before James could get close, Yered’s aura became chaotic.

The flames around them suddenly rolled up like a tsunami, inching closer to James.

James sensed the terrifying aura approaching him but could not dodge it in time.

He was knocked away and crashed into the ground.

Just Yered’s aura alone was enough to injure him.

“He’s here to help you, Yered.” Haleth’s voice resounded in the pit, reassuring Yered.

The flames slowly calmed down and subsided.

The young man inside the formation opened his eyes, and a red-colored light flashed in his pupils.

James climbed up from the ground with difficulty.

Although he had sustained some injuries, they were not fatal, so he disregarded them.

Haleth only allowed James to get close because he noticed his exceptional physical strength.

He looked at James and asked, “Are you okay?” “It’s nothing serious.” After answering, James walked

over to Yered.

Yered looked at James and said lightly, “Leave.

You can’t heal my injuries.” “I’m already here, so give me a chance.” James looked at Yered firmly.

Yered stared at James for a while.

“Don’t turn me down again.

Let me examine your injuries,” said James.

Yered thought for a while then nodded hesitantly.

James raised his palm and placed it on Yered’s forehead.

Yered's body temperature was unbelievably high.

When James pressed his palm against Yered’s forehead, his skin was scorched, and he found it hard

to bear the pain.

However, he forcibly endured it.

James released a trace of power into Yered’s body and examined his physical condition.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and sat down with a frown.

Yered waited silently for the results.

Haleth, however, could not help but ask impatiently, “How is he? Can you help him with the Illus and Ice

Curse?” “No,” James replied without sugarcoating anything.

“Impossible! The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion told me it would work.” Haleth was in disbelief.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had vast knowledge and knew everything.

He found it hard to believe their solution was wrong.

“The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion wasn’t wrong.

However, it'll only work if someone at the same rank as Yered takes action.

Unfortunately, my cultivation rank is too far from his.” James shook his head.

Haleth's face filled with disappointment.

James suddenly said, “I do have an idea, though.” Yered looked at James hopefully.

Haleth’s face lit up again.

He asked, ‘What is it?” James answered, “I can help, but I have a request.” Haleth hurriedly agreed,

“Go on.

As long as it's something the Flamma Race can do, we'll do it.” James replied, “If 1 can help Yered

recover, I'd like a favor from him.

In the future, he’ll have to help me once when I need him.” “Sure.” Yered nodded, agreeing to the

condition.
