While the dragon lords had their meeting, Vaan continued to train in the land of fire, raising his fire affinity, defense, and strength.

<Your body has successfully absorbed the fire-attribute mana in the magma>
<Your strength has improved by 2 points>
<Your defense has improved by 1 point>
<Your fire affinity has improved by 1%>

At the same time, Jergag watched over him without a hint of boredom; only increasing astonishment could be found on his face.
The elderly dragon wasn't blind.
