In Zain's hand, [Heavenly Demon Flame] flickered to life.
He stepped toward the throne, his eyes fixed on the skeleton pierced through with countless weapons.
"This is it," he murmured. "Let's end it."
He raised his hand, ready to cast the flame.
But just as the fire was about to touch the bones, the skeleton shook.
A sudden wave of killing intent exploded from it, making the air heavy and crushing.
The wooden floor groaned, dust falling from the ceiling.
Velra, Zelia, and Savra all staggered back, their breathing turning heavy under the pressure.
Zain narrowed his eyes. "An aura… as strong as a Supreme."
Then, from the bones, a voice thundered:"WHO DARES TO DISTURB… THE HEAVENLY DEMON?!"
Zain froze for a moment, confused. "The Heavenly Demon? This is my body, isn't it? Then how…?"
He took a step forward. "Who are you? You're no Heavenly Demon."
The bones began to glow.
A blinding light rose from them, twisting and forming into a human shape.
