Kurururung.

The beast’s exhaled breath grazed past me. The breath, imbued with flames, was searing hot.

I, too, lived with fire coursing through my body, yet even I could feel the overwhelming heat—proof that it was truly intense.

How?

How the hell did he notice me?

I frowned behind my mask as I looked at the leader standing before me.

…I definitely concealed my presence.

I flicked my eyes upward. The Nine Flames Firewheel was still floating around the moonlight.

Did I use it incorrectly?

There was a way to manipulate the Nine Flames Firewheel to amplify my presence instead of suppressing it, but—

No.

I had used it properly this time. I was the one who activated it; there was no way I wouldn’t know. I had harnessed the heat to erase my presence entirely.

And yet, he still noticed?

Somehow, the leader had sensed me.

How is that even possible?

Even Amwang, who had reached the absolute peak in this field, would have sworn that no one could detect me in this state.

I couldn’t understand how the leader had found me.

Could it be…?

I glanced sideways.@@novelbin@@

Is it because of him…?

Cheonma, who had been watching the situation alongside me. Could it be his fault?

No.

I checked again, but there was nothing wrong with him. Even standing right next to me, his presence remained faint. That meant, at this distance, there was no way the leader could have sensed him.

…Tsk.

I couldn’t understand it, but this wasn’t the time to dwell on it.
