Eugene took a moment to placate Carmen. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and Eugene found her face too close for comfort as she demanded that he showed her his flame. After some nagging, Eugene complied with her demands and showed her his flame.
“How amazing!” Carmen exclaimed, staring at the purple flame with admiration. Noticing how she was creeping forward and twitching her fingers, Eugene pushed the flame forward for her to see.
It wasn’t just a differently colored flame. In the first place, the flame created by the White Flame Formula bloomed from the essence of mana that was refined to the extreme. As such, as long as one stayed faithful to the White Flame Formula to refine their flame, it was extremely difficult and rare for their flame to transform.
However, Eugene’s flame was different. Eugene himself could feel that his White Flame Formula had transformed after his Cores were reformed anew. The flame he created using the same refinement process produced a completely different color and power.
“Ahahaha.” Carmen burst into laughter as she closely examined the flame resting on her palm. As someone with seven Stars in the White Flame Formula and the strongest member of the Lionheart family in the current generation, she immediately noticed the change in Eugene’s flame. Since Eugene held no hostility towards Carmen, his flame did not bring any harm to her.
But for some reason, Eugene felt as if his flame were being devoured, and in fact, Carmen was holding his flame firmly in place using her White Flame Formula. Eugene felt as if his flame would blaze using his mana as firewood if she wasn’t holding it in place.
“This is truly amazing. Many of our ancestors have entered the Dark Room, but none have experienced a change in their White Flame Formula like yours,” Gilead said with astonishment. It almost made sense that Eugene was stuck in the Dark Room for three days after he saw how Eugene’s flame had transformed.
“What happened in there?” Gion asked in the middle of his admiration. He could see with his eyes that Eugene’s flame had transformed, but he felt another change in Eugene apart from that. As far as he knew, Eugene’s skin had always been clean and firm, but now, it was practically glowing.
He wasn’t the only one who noticed this change. Rather, the ones who were most affected by the change were the two Saints.
[Kristina! Kristina! Give me control of the body for a moment,] Anise said urgently.
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].
‘W-what?’ Kristina was shocked at Anise’s intense earnestness.
[Kristina! What are you looking at right now? Raise your head immediately, fix your gaze ahead, and look at Hamel,] Anise reprimanded.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t. She really, really wanted to, but she could not bear to raise her head to see Eugene’s face. What was it? It didn’t seem like he had changed much, but…. No, he had changed a lot. For some reason, his eyes felt calmer, deeper, and cooler, and his skin was smooth as if it were coated with honey. His hair, which was usually messy, was still messy, but it looked glossy and even sexy.
‘S-s-sexy…,’ Kristina thought involuntarily.
[How vulgar!]
