"I don't know." Xiu answered.
"…"
"Because that has never happened."
Just like the case here, during the tens of thousands of years when an unusual flame was about to condense into an elemental spirit, there would be other elemental spirits guarding it.
Every birth of an elemental spirit required hundreds of thousands of years of wait. Those unusual flames that had been taken away by other races had either just condensed for tens of thousands of years or not long ago. This spiritual power of elements would not be guarded by elemental spirits. Only during the last tens of thousands of years of growth of the flame would other elemental spirits come to guard it.
Therefore, the unusual flame on Kumu Mountain had given the dwarves a headache for many years. The guarding elemental spirits were so powerful that they were not their opponents at all.
