Chapter 84.1, Stratagem (2)
‘Cursed Flame’ is a terrifying ability.
I felt as if it was eating away not only at my body, but also at my soul. The continuous pain and heat made my vision flicker.
Nevertheless, the black flame only burnt layers of my skin, a few millimeters of my flesh. The skin regenerated the moment it burnt. The fire would continue to burn as long as I had blood power.
Blood power is amazing. Manipulating it could be said to be the essence of the vampires.
I got this idea from the power of Death Knights. Senri strengthens her physical abilities by circulating blessing through her body. What I’m doing is similar to that.
Being subjected to continuous pain is very painful… yet a very nostalgic feeling. But this time I won’t die. I won’t die. As long as I kill Rainel, I can concentrate my power on making the ‘Cursed Flame’ disappear and revert to my original form.
This is a decisive battle. I can’t rely on Dell’s help anymore. I put my burning leg forward and advance ahead. At this moment, the only things I’m conscious of is myself and the Demon King Rainel.
Demon King Rainel looked unharmed at a first glance. The same mane, shining with yellow hue and sharp silver claws. But, to the undead like me, it was obvious that his power had declined a lot compared to before. The reason was probably the ejection of the super-high energy ―― ‘Dragon Breath’ a moment ago.
If I hadn’t interfered in the middle of it, Dell would’ve definitely been erased. Still, Dell was heroic for resisting that energy even for a short while.
