Summary of Chapter 82: Self-Sacrifice

• Rein's Gamble: Despite the intense trauma he associates with fire, Rein uses a torn cloak, full-body physical enhancement, and continuous recovery magic to forcibly lift the red-hot iron portcullis blocking the path. His healing races against severe burns in real time, shocking and alarming his companions—especially Therese, Katia, Mira, and Anton.
• The Breakthrough: Anton and Mira try to pull Rein away, but Rein’s enhanced strength keeps him anchored. Katia and Lutz squeeze beneath the raised gate to pursue the retreating enemy, with Katia vowing retribution. Once they pass, Rein drops the gate and promptly collapses from magical and physical exhaustion, leaving his companions to carry him back along the safe path maintained by Lina.
• The Enemy's Perspective: On the narrow mountain trail ahead, the wounded enemy commander grows impatient with his slow-moving subordinates and the lack of healers. Believing the inferno behind him will delay any pursuers long enough for him to escape toward the Royal Capital, he is caught entirely off guard when Katia and Lutz emerge through the fire in hot pursuit.
