Drake looked at Naseem, who had completely transformed into a demon, recalling what the Great Elder had said to him at Ryumei Temple.
The realm of the Demon Person wasn't as simple as Drake had initially understood.
The so-called awakening was when a Blazer transcended their own fate, causing their soul to change in nature, becoming a non-human existence that wasn't bound by fate.
Therefore, this process was also called the soul of a beast. This was also the origin of the Demon Person's name, because after awakening, the Blazer was no longer a normal human.
And the Great Elder had told Drake that there was an even deeper change after the Demon Person's awakening, which was called Transcendence Awakening.
The soul and the body were connected. When the soul transformed into a non-human form, the body would also undergo corresponding changes to adapt to the change in the soul.
In other words, after experiencing this second awakening, the Blazer's soul and body would completely become monsters in name and in reality.
And the condition for Transcendence Awakening was for an already awakened Demon Person to abandon the human heart, completely plunging into the abyss of monsters.
In other words, compared to the Demon Person's awakening, the difficulty of Transcendence Awakening wasn't high. If any Demon Person couldn't control themselves, they would likely enter that realm.
Like Shinomiya Kurokane, she had long had the ability to push open the door of awakening, but it was because she feared that becoming a monster was on the other side of the door that she had never awakened into a Demon Person.
This was probably one of the reasons why the major forces kept the existence of Demon People a secret.
In addition, the existences of those fantasy creatures in legends and history, demons, phantasmal beasts, elves... etc., were actually Blazers who had undergone Transcendence Awakening.
And Naseem didn't seem like the kind of person who would cherish his human identity at all.
It was estimated that he had long undergone Transcendence Awakening and become a demon, and his transformed body had been formed because of this.
And now, it should be said that he had revealed his true form.
"A demon, huh?" Drake curled his lips in disdain, saying, "I've fought real ones before. Would I be afraid of a fake like you!"
Although he said this, Drake also became serious. After revealing his true form, the quality and quantity of Naseem's magic power had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Naseem opened his mouth, saying in a broken bellows-like voice, "Do you see it? This is my true form.
The power that was born because of my extreme disgust for this unremarkable world.
Transcend the limits of life, and covet all vitality, like the hellfire of death. Your body should have it too... the ghost that craves this moment! Let me hear its roar!"
Saying this, Naseem moved his feet, his huge body charging towards Drake.
Naseem's body had swelled too much. Although those strong, jet-black muscles would provide stronger power, they were also a burden.
So Naseem's movements became extremely slow, at least in Drake's eyes.
But his power had increased explosively, that was a fact. The vast power directly tore the air, kicking towards Drake.
"Fire Dragon's Hook Claw!"
Drake didn't give in at all, kicking out with his foot as well. The two legs, disproportionate in size, collided, flames and smoke swirling out wildly.
The flames and smoke didn't last long before dissipating instantly, being directly cleared by the powerful impact.
The two in the middle had exchanged several blows in an instant.
Although Naseem had turned into a demon, he hadn't lost his mind, his moves quite methodical.
Most importantly, Naseem's vast magic power covered his body, forming a solid armor, actually blocking Drake's flames.
Because of the difference in height, Naseem's attacks were more concentrated on Drake's head. Drake tilted his head, dodging Naseem's straight punch, but in his vision, a black shadow flashed over.
Drake retreated, dodging that black shadow. Then he saw what had attacked him.
Naseem, who had turned into a demon, had a strong and powerful tail. It was that tail that had lashed out at Drake just now.
Of course Drake wasn't frightened by this sudden attack. He had fought many real monsters after all.
And the tail was one of the strongest attack methods of various monsters. It was only natural to be vigilant.
What Drake felt was troublesome was Naseem's ability.
Naseem's fighting style was quite direct, suppressing his opponents with unmatched power and magic power. But his ability was equally terrifying.
The desiccation ability was indeed terrifying. Drake could feel that a lot of the moisture in his body had been taken away during the collision.
The skin on Drake's arms, which were wrapped in the Evil Dragon and the Dragon Slayer, had become much drier.
In that case, Drake also had to show some real skill in this battle. At first, Drake had thought that he could solve it easily!
Shaking his head, Drake whispered the name of his move.
"Fire Dragon Fighting Armor!"
Armor made of condensed flames covered Drake's body. Drake raised his hand, blocking Naseem's punch.
Grabbing Naseem's wrist with his backhand, Drake directly pulled his body towards him, then clenching his other hand into a fist, delivering a three-hit combo without any politeness.
The reason why Kurogane Ikki wasn't favored to become a Magic Knight was precisely because his magic power was too low.
Ordinary attacks couldn't break through other Blazers' magic power to cause them harm.
And the source of Naseem's powerful defense was his powerful magic power, but that layer of defense was shattered by Drake's first punch.
The subsequent second and third punches directly smashed Naseem's body.
A cylindrical impact penetrated Naseem's body, his jet-black muscles and internal organs directly shattering before flying out.
However, those organs had no feeling of being alive at all, more like solidified lava.
Naseem also didn't care at all about the huge hole in his body, instead swinging his fist to continue hitting Drake.
In this state, just brushing against Naseem's fist could take away all of the moisture in a person's body, but his ability was completely blocked by the armor on Drake's body.
So Drake directly raised his hand to block, the two facing each other with four hands, directly starting to wrestle.
The ground under their feet shattered with a bang, directly sinking in. But even so, neither of them let go.
The large hole in Naseem's body had completely healed, but the wrist and fist that had been grabbed by Drake were burned to pieces by the flames.
Drake grinned, directly dragging up Naseem, whose body was far larger than his, throwing him out directly.
"Fire Dragon's Blazing Flame!"
Drake made a huge fireball in his hand, throwing it directly.
Naseem was completely engulfed by the flames, shaking off the bone-eroding flames after struggling for a while.
Before his tattered body could recover, Drake closed in.
Naseem's hollow eyes couldn't see any emotions, but the golden light inside them instantly expanded.
His wings flapping, Naseem directly flew into the air, dodging the punch that Drake had smashed down.
"You think you can run!"
Drake's fiery wings spread out behind him, directly chasing after him.
"How could I run away from this kind of battle where I'm walking between life and death!"
Naseem roared, lowering his body and charging towards Drake, colliding with Drake again.
Drake bent his arms, blocking Naseem's constantly punching fists, being pressed closer and closer to the ground.
The wings behind Drake flapped, directly turning to Naseem's side and rear, raising his hand to grab his shoulder, smashing him directly into the ground.
The port, which was already tattered from the various battles, instantly shattered, turning into several pieces, some of the smaller pieces sliding directly into the sea.
Drake stood on top of a piece that had curled up, looking at the bottom of the ruins.
Naseem's huge hand stretched out from the ruins, grabbing onto a rock, then his entire body broke free.
"Let's settle this! Let me see what your ghost is like!"
Naseem roared, the golden magic light beginning to gather towards his arm. Because the flowing magic power was too powerful, his body actually burst open.
"Bone Ash Storm!"
Different from the Bone Ash Storm that had been used to divide the battlefield at first, this time's Bone Ash Storm was incomparably terrifying, maximizing the power of desiccation, possessing the terrifying power to decompose all things.
Drake looked at Naseem using this move, not saying anything.
In fact, Demon People and Dragon Slayer Mages had some similarities. After abandoning the human heart, they would both become non-human existences.
But he was different, not only because the blessing of the world's magic made him immune to side effects, but also because he had unshakable persistence.
Because of this, he would never lose to the other party.
"Fire Dragon King's... Roar!"
A huge red magic circle spread out, Drake directly spewing out a terrifying flame storm, directly colliding with Naseem's jet-black dust storm.
There was no stalemate, and no huge explosion. Drake's flame storm directly engulfed Naseem's Bone Ash Storm, then engulfing him.
After a long time, Drake stepped on the vitrified ground, walking next to Naseem, who only had a quarter of his body left.
Even at the last moment, this guy hadn't returned to his human form at all.
Coughing, Naseem said, "What a pity. I didn't see what your ghost was like. Why reject... your true self?"
Saying this, his remaining body also began to shatter, until only half of his head was left.
Drake looked at him, saying coldly, "That kind of thing didn't exist in the first place, okay!"
