At that moment, the flame burned fiercely, several times larger than before.
The flames were black as ink, yet not dim in the least. Instead, they radiated an incomparably profound light.

The Darkness Altar in the sky trembled slightly.
The black flame standing atop the altar suddenly floated upward!
The flame detached from the altar, slowly rising into the air
