Chapter 161: Awakening (3)
A towering fire spirit, clad in molten armor, raised its sword of flames. Heat radiated from its massive form, forcefully driving back the icy storm. Demphis watched as his Blizzard Storm was nullified, feeling a rare sense of intrigue.
That thing... was actually a real summon?
It wasn't the first time Karnak had summoned El Ragnatia. He had previously used it during his ambush on the Descent Ritual, intending to disrupt the battlefield. However, he had dismissed it almost immediately, never showcasing its true power.
That led Demphis to assume it had been an illusion. He had never believed Karnak had actually summoned a fire spirit.
That bastard is using spirit magic? There's no way!
Only those who were truly righteous and pure could possess an affinity for spirits. And Karnak was, without a doubt, not such a person.
But why do I keep getting this strange feeling?
However, Demphis quickly dismissed the thought as a delusion. It didn't make sense in the first place. According to his instincts, that black-haired youth would never risk his life just to save his comrades.
And yet, here he was. So, was Karnak actually an incredibly pure and kind-hearted individual? Was that why he could control spirits so effectively?
That's impossible... but at the same time, I have no proof that it isn't.
His instincts kept firing off conflicting signals. It was as if he were being forced to perceive a burly, bearded man as a delicate woman.
No, for now, I need to focus on capturing him.
