Armipotent

[You have established a contract with an Archaic Spirit, Artrus the King of Calamity!]

Artrus became a wisp the size of an adult's fist with the same color as his flame. The wisp entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead, and the contract was done. So far everything was normal, but to his surprise, he was still in Artrus' domain.

As per his agreement with Artrus, they agreed to do a [Spirit Integration]. He fulfilled the agreement on his side. He activated [Spirit Integration] with his new spirit.

It was the same with the usual integration. He observed the integration carefully since the request was weird. There was nothing unusual from inside, but his appearance started to change. It was a common occurrence in integration.

Artrus' fire burned his nail, and then the fire spread out to his skin, replacing his skin with the fire. It did not hurt, but he kept observing the change. His gut feeling told him Artrus had a hidden agenda. The fact that he was still in this dimension after forming the contract with Artrus was even more suspicious.

Tang Shaoyang was ready to cancel the integration anytime if he felt something was wrong with his body. The fire reached his clothes. The fire enveloped his clothes, but it did not burn the clothes. The fire took the shape of his outfit, and then the fire crept up to his neck and face.

Everything was normal, but he could see himself becoming a man on fire. It was as if he acquired an Elemental Body, but it was not the same as the elemental body he had encountered so far.

The weirdest thing was that he did not have any information on how Artrus fought as well as the skills. Usually, information flooded into his mind about the spirit's ability and skill, but not this time. There was nothing aside from the attribute boost.

[I see… I seeee… So this is how your body works. So this is how your body sustains Chaos Energy.]

That was Artrus' first words after forming the contract. Tang Shaoyang was about to ask something, but his chest was suddenly hurting. His knees became weak and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

Tang Shaoyang grimaced in pain, it was even more painful than getting his head pulled off by the Divine Dragon. The burning pain intensified inside my chest. The first thing he did was to cancel the integration. To his surprise, he could not cancel the skill.

He curled up even more as it was getting even more painful. Then he let out a scream. At the same time, the flame outside the barrier blazed up. He tried to calm down and think of a solution, but it was just too painful for him to think of something.

"GRRRHHHH!"

Tang Shaoyang groaned as his chest was getting even more painful. He could not describe what he felt like right. It was like his heart burned, but it was totally different than the burnt skin. His body writhed on the floor while clutching his chest.

Then he suddenly remembered the inheritance bloodline ritual with Rumru. The closest thing he felt like right now was when he inherited the Black Dragon bloodline. It was the same, or maybe this one was even more painful.

It started from his chest, but the searing pain spread out to the other organs. It was like his organ was burning, but the fire was not potent enough to burn his organs. So he just felt the pain ceaselessly.

After his organs, the fire started to burn his bones, from the skull down to his toe was so painful. He felt the searing pain from each part of his body. His body writhed even fiercely, but he did not scream. Then the pain spread out to his flesh, the whole pain was in pain.

No words were coming out of his mouth, but his body was enough to tell what happened. His body was tossing and turning to every inch of the circle. If the pain was constant, then he might be able to endure it after a certain time. But it was getting more and more painful which was worse than the inheritance bloodline ritual.

Despite the pain, he did not pass out from the pain. It was so painful that he was thinking of killing himself. He had [Seven Souls] anyway, but he decided to endure the pain.

Five minutes passed, and the thought of killing himself returned, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BODY, ARTRUS!"

He put his anger into words, screaming at Artrus. But of course, it was futile. The lion did not respond to his words. It was just silence but just his body movement, thrashing around on the ground, trying to endure the pain.

Tang Shaoyang did not know how long he could last, and he knew he could not just endure the pain. He must do something to end this.

'Control! I have to control the flame.'

The thing he did was to activate the Dragon Transformation, making his body stronger. He could activate the skill, but it was still the same, everything was in flames. His wings were made of flame, the scale also became flame, and even the horns. Everything was wrapped in Artrus' flame.

Even though he thought of taking control of the fire, he did not know how to do it. He was so angry that he opened his mouth and breathed out the fire. It was different from fire, his fire was dark. He did not know what to do, so he vented out all his anger in his fire breath.

Tang Shaoyang formed fireballs, small and big, throwing them all around. For full a minute, then he screamed in pain toward the air. He then raised his right foot and stomped the ground in fury. The ground split up, and the black fire burst out out from the gap.

He continued doing so, distracting himself from the pain. It worked for a while until it did not work anymore. Then he remembered he had learned Avyn's Ethereal Frost. He just remembered it because he could not think calmly and forgot about Ethereal Frost.
