As Subham reached out to grasp the third orb, he felt a strange resistance, as if the orb itself was recoiling from his touch. Frustration knitted his brow as he watched it dance just out of reach, evading his every attempt to capture it.
Determined not to be outdone, Subham focused his mind, channeling his inner strength and summoning his spiritual pressure. A wave of potent energy emanated from him, enveloping the orb in a cocoon of calm.
To his surprise, the orb seemed to respond to his aura, its frantic movements gradually slowing until it hovered serenely in the air before him. With a sense of triumph, Subham reached out once more, this time feeling the orb yield willingly to his touch.
Vidur watched the scene unfold with keen interest, his eyes gleaming with approval as Subham claimed the final orb. "Well done, my young disciple," he remarked, his voice tinged with pride. "You have shown great resolve and mastery over your spiritual power."
Gathering around the table once more, Vidur began to unravel the mysteries of their newfound treasures. With Saheli in possession of the Ethereal Flame, she would wield a power that defied the laws of nature itself, capable of erasing and absorbing traits with the Divine Flame Ascendancy cultivation art.
As Vidur delved into the intricacies of each artifact, the trio listened intently, their minds buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the adventures that lay ahead. Little did they know that their journey was only just beginning, and that the true test of their courage and resolve was yet to come.
