Chapter 687
The black and purple dragon pulses with murderous Demonic Soul Energy, making the room twice as heavy as when the demon released its aura of intimidation, and its eyes lock onto Ember with genuine rage.
"You're an Overseer... We were wrong... The Divine Beasts that reincarnated to this new world for their cycle were not all killed off..."
Ember grins, showing his sharp teeth while responding.
"Yes... I stayed on my last world longer than expected. I wasn't able to ascend in my last life. I managed to make it to this world just in time. But—an Overseer? Don't group me in with those underachievers."
Ember's True Core pulses, sending waves of yellow divine light all over his body. Its unique ability is being manifested for the first time, and a bright yellow fire moves up from his chest into his throat and out his mouth in a blinding display of light before the purple dragon can even process the words he just spoke.
A pillar of bright yellow light, crackling with trace amounts of silver threads, hits the Demonic Dragon's left wing, searing right through with almost no resistance at all.
There have only been a few other instances when an ability like this was used in the past, one of them being when Ember displayed his Soul Energy's unique properties, dissolving a mountain within a dungeon.
His True Core's Divine Flames seem to have a similar property, dissolving through the Dragon's flesh like it's water dripping away.
The pillar of flames hits the back wall of the room, and a wretched dragon's pain-filled roar erupts from the demonic monster.
