Angel sighed and found it hard to say anything more. His gaze shifted to the Forbidden Stone within the flames.
"Can I probe it with my mental power?"
Napoli hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "You can, but don't send your mental power into the Forbidden Stone. The Ghost Domain aura inside feels very unusual to me."
"Unusual?" Angel eyed the Forbidden Stone suspiciously. From its appearance, it was nothing more than an utterly ordinary black rock. "What's unusual about it?"
Napoli said, "I can't really explain it either. Just now, I tried to send the power of flames inside and smelt the Forbidden Stone from within."
"But once the power of flames entered the Forbidden Stone, it dispersed immediately."
His plan to smelt the Forbidden Stone from the inside out had gone down the drain as well.
Angel said, "It can absorb the power of flames?"
Napoli shook his head. "I don't know whether it can absorb flame power, but my power simply can't enter it. And after the flame power vanished, I considered using the Perception Flame to investigate the inside of the Forbidden Stone."
The Perception Flame was also one application of Flame Mimicry.
It could be understood as a flame-version mental-power tentacle.
Angel said, "Did you sense anything in the end?"
Napoli shrugged. "I sensed nothing, because when I tried to send the Perception Flame into the Forbidden Stone, the Divine Pattern gave me a dangerous warning."
"A warning from the Divine Pattern is similar to your wizards' premonition of danger."
"The Divine Pattern rarely warns me, but every warning means a danger I find hard to resist."
The last time it had happened was when Napoli had investigated a Nether Mirror Space that had floated up from the Ghost Domain into the Day Mirror Domain.
