The red me was still scorching the floor of the treehouse. Apart from the visible scorch marks where Sade was standing, there were no other signs of damage, and the wooden floor was still in its original condition.


    ''What''s going on? Why is this red me burning like this?'' Sade had thought to himself as he carefully tried to take a few steps back and forth on the treehouse floor. The red me on his body was still burning but nothing else was affected. After he had thought about what happened for a moment, Sade suddenly came to a realization.


    ''Is the red me able to identify its allies and enemies? At first, the fire was burning everything within its proximity but as I felt the emotions of not wanting to destroy the treehouse, it stopped.'' Sade theorized.


    With this hypothesis in mind, Sade raised his palm as he tried to conjure the red me as he looked at the bookshelf near him. Without hesitation, he vaguely aimed and threw a fireball in the bookshelf''s direction. The fire immediately exploded, turning the whole scene into a red sea of fire that swallowed the whole bookshelf in a blink of an eye.


    As the red me disappeared, the bookshelf did not sustain any damage, as if the fireball had not hit it at all. Sade saw what happened and his eyes widened, he tried throwing another fireball toward the shelf again. This time, the red fireball hit the bookshelf and violently exploded, along with the surrounding bookshelves around it. However this time, the bookshelves were destroyedpletely without leaving traces of ash.


    When the red sea of fire disappeared, the ce where the bookshelf originally stood was empty. There were no traces of broken nks or any debris surrounding the area, not even a nearby broken piece of wood could be found. Sade felt as if that area had been licked clean by a hungry behemoth with its enormous tongue, and the area was free of any dirt— it was destroyed entirely.


    Sade narrowed his sharp eyes, as he just realized that he had discovered an extremely important piece of information. He had activated his fire maniption ability to a test andunched two consecutive attacks on the remaining bookshelves that were in front of him. His intentions of destroying the bookshelves were clear this time. His goal was to test whether his fire maniption ability was now able to identify his intention and to distinguish an enemy from an ally. If that was the case, this new ability would be extremely powerful and convenient. No matter what situation Sade faced in the future, he wouldn''t need to worry about his targeting and he would be able tounch an attack on arge scale without the risk of endangering his ally.


    Previously, the power that was being nurtured by the Secret Language Magic inside of Sade was stable and quite immutable, and it was difficult to alter its property or its ability. For example, the fire element that Sade was manipting before the birth of Seeds of Power was highly reactive, and his water maniption ability was also powerful, but Sade only could bend and manipte these natural elements. However, he couldn''t alter its property or turn it into something else. This came from hisck of understanding of the natural elements. However, Sade had just recently obtained the Seeds of Power that was made from the fire spell in Draconiannguage, his overall magical ability had greatly improved, even his fire spell that he used had undergone a major change.


    However, Sade''s previous spection was not entirely correct. He could now see that there were more possibilities to his power. Sade was only able to theorize this before, and now he could confirm it with confidence. He discovered this fact during his previous two attacks that he was performing on the bookshelves.


    For the first attack, Sade''s mind did not show his desire to harm or to destroy the bookshelf, hence theck of damage that was inflicted. However, the second attack was different because Sade had shown his intention to burn and destroy the bookshelf that he was targeting. As he expected, the fireball directly attacked the bookshelf, destroying itpletely. The attack was so intense as if the bookshelf was swallowed whole into the bursting me. Not only that the bookshelf had been swallowed entirely, even the remaining ashes and random nearby piece of wood had instantly disappeared as the red me went out as well.


    Sade was able tomand and manipte his fire ability to destroy a bookshelf with just his thoughts alone. He reached out his hand to clutch on his tender chin, his thumb and index finger constantly rubbed against the blue markings on his cheeks. He squinted mischievously and couldn''t help but smirk. Sade waved his hand once again and a fireball appeared in front of his eyes. This time, he wanted to manipte the red me with his consciousness, and to let the fireball in his hand change its form. He repeatedly tested this theory of his.


    At that moment, Sade was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, and his mind was manipting and changing the form of the fireball that was in front of him. As the red me kept changing its shapes and property, Sade saw a fireball, and it transformed into a greatsword, then an animal, then a human, and even burst into mes in the shape of a Magical Beast and finally a dragon. Sade was speeding up the changes, even he couldn''t catch up to the speed of the red me that was mutating in front of him. Sade continued to let it do what it was doing. Sade was pleased with the result, he was smiling while he watched his ability grow.


    ''What a surprise!'' He thought to himself.


    As he looked at the constantly moving shapes and sizes of the me before him, Sade couldn''t help but feel joy in his heart. At that moment, Sade wasn''t even manipting the red me to do anything, just as it was moving at a quick pace, Sade had let go of his control over it. Strangely, the red mes kept changing their form to various sizes and shapes— it had repeated Sade''s previousmand!


    The result that he obtained was beyond his expectations. It was unbelievable that the me in front of him had be sentient. Even after Sade had withdrawn hismand, it was stillposed, obeying his previousmand. An urrence like this was extremely fascinating! From Sade''s previous knowledge, no matter what spell he was using, it was only magic, it required a spellcaster and various casting but it was impossible that it would conjure itself nor can it be sentient. It was the first time that Sade had seen elemental magic behave this way— it was as if it became a life of its own.


    To confirm his observation, Sade once again conjured a fireball in his hand andmanded it to perform the same thing that he previously did. This time, however, Sade had changed his mind and wanted the fireball to take its own free will, no longer restricted from his desire. Then, something shocking happened, Sade found that the dragon bloodline in his veins had flowed toward the fireball that was in front of him and as it happened, he felt that his strength was consumed by the red me, bit by bit.


    Suddenly, the fireball went motionless for a moment, then it suddenly turned into a sea of fire and swallowed all the bookshelves. The fire behaved like a naughty child without the control of its parents, and the mes swallowed everything that was within its vicinity apart from Sade. After devouring his furniture, the red mes behaved as if they wanted to climb up the treehouse and Sade immediately stopped it.


    <o>,m ''Ridiculous! If the red me eats the treehouse, where would I live then?'' Sade thought.</o>


    Sade didn''t notice while he was stopping the red me from moving up the treehouse, the branches of the tree that was his treehouse trembled. With the breeze, dense red foliage in front of him swayed with the wind as if it had escaped danger and gasped for air.
