Reid Flamdor

**Reid Flamdor** was a Duke of Estia Empire and the Head of the powerful armed group Flamdor Fighting School.

He was known as the "**Flame Monarch**." He is touted as the strongest human in history.

## Background

He repeatedly wished to fight against the Queen of Water, Biate Ellon, however, he was turned down as Biate's nature was calm and gentle and she didn't like conflict.

Around 50 years ago, he appeared at Maiel mountain range in the southern region of Rinse Kingdom after finding out that Biate Ellon’s dwelling place was inside Maiel mountain. He requested for a duel but she simply served him some tea and declined indirectly. In the end, he attacked her and forced her to battle him. The two fought for four days and four nights inside her dwelling place. Reid Flamdor believed that he was the strongest among humans. However, during the fight, he was never able to overwhelm her even once. In the end, he, who became blind due to his competitiveness, used lethal secret art. At that moment, the duel that was looking for who was superior ended up being a life and death one.

In the end, both gained nothing but injuries and realized that they wouldn't survive due to their severe wounds. If he were to die, Reid Flamdor wanted to die under the hot sun so he came out of the dwelling place and came to the cave, but he didn’t have the strength to move anymore. When he was leaving his last words while looking at the sunlight that shone at the entrance, the water spirit king Ellaim appeared and took Biate Ellon along with her to Poskein Lake. Reid Flamdor surmised that like he longed for a hot place as his deathbed, she longed for a deep and wide body of water as her deathbed.

## History

### Previous Timeline

Reid Flamdor's Flamdor Mana Technique was obtained by Viscount Potter due to a landslide opening up the cave where his corpse laid. Unfortunately, he was not able to obtain the complete mana technique or Reid's Art of Fighting, both of which were destroyed during a cave-in. However, even the incomplete technique was enough for him to become extremely powerful. Sadly, this didn't last long as Duke Edwin Voisa got wind of the mana technique Viscount Potter had obtained and had him assassinated to obtain it. He then gave it to his eldest son, Mills Voisa, who betrayed the Rinse Kingdom and went to Estia Empire where he obtained a title of nobility due to him "returning" the lost Flamdor Mana Technique.

### Current Timeline

Roan left for the Potter Viscounty sometime before the landslide was supposed to happen and reached the cave where Reid Flamdor's corpse laid before Viscount Potter's soldiers and obtained the Flamdor Mana Technique. Due to him reaching there earlier, he managed to obtain the complete technique and also the Reid's Art of Fighting technique. However, due to him reaching there earlier, he was caught in a cave-in. After reading Reid Flamdor's diary, he realized that Biate Ellon’s dwelling was most likely right behind the cave and managed to enter it due to unconsciously absorbing Ellaim's Tears. There, he learnt that Biate Ellon’s remains were in Poskein Lake and planned to visit it in the future. Due to being stuck in the cave, he decided to begin his mana training for 20 days until Viscount Potter's soldiers left Maiel mountain.
