The Stove Fire that could burn divinity was enough to ignite rules even after dropping to the Eighth Tier.
Caught completely off guard.
Mary was instantly trapped within the flames.
However.
That was all.
After her initial panic, Mary discovered that these flames could not inflict overly serious injuries on her.

"If..."
"If... I can separate this flame, if I can inherit this flame, I will
