Chapter 997: Intense (2)
‘What is that?’
Tristan felt his heart freeze up from the shock at the surreal sight of black flames twisting and billowing like a devil’s tongue while rising up in the air.
Wasn't this ironic, though? Tristan and his fellow Elder Knights should have been the most absurd and surreal existences in this place, after all. They should have died eons ago, yet here they were, swinging their weapons around centuries later.
He wasn't agonizing about the absurd nature of an Elder Knight, of course. Tristan understood that, depending on one's point of view, Elder Knights could be seen as monsters.
However, that didn't matter anymore when the “real” monster was right in front of his nose! A creature that not even monsters like the Elder Knights, who were revived from eternal slumber by unnatural means, could not comprehend!
‘Just what the hell is that thing?!’
Of course Tristan knew. Even if those black flames were not something he could recognize, they still had to be another type of aura manifestation. That was the only likely explanation for the incredible power he could sense from those flames.
Even if that was true, how could a mere mortal unleash flames of aura from his entire body until they reached a dozen-plus meters in height! And how could that person envelop himself with so much aura as if it was his second skin?!
None of it made sense. Tristan's common sense refused to believe it!
