Demon's Virtue

Eiro suddenly felt these cold, freezing flames all over his body, deeply seeping into his very existence as he infused himself with them. He knew that he would forget this feeling quite soon, so he tried to savor it. Indulge in the feeling that this new thing gave him.

With a deep breath, Eiro looked back at King S. He slowly moved his hand around and left a trail of flames in the middle of the air that stopped the impact from the flames that King S shot at him. Somehow, his mind was in a weird state right now.

Whenever he was infused with flames or spent time inside of a space with a lot of heat, he would feel that his mind started racing. Eiro's body itched to move. He simply had to do something in any way possible to get rid of the energy welling up inside of him.

And whenever he was surrounded by freezing colds, he felt the opposite. Eiro felt lethargy overcome his body and mind, and it would take him a lot longer to finish his thoughts when this happened.

But now, Eiro was in a state that combined both of this. Eiro had full control over his thoughts, but his mind was able to race to whatever point he needed it to. To him, it felt like his body was heavy and hard to move, but the moment he tried, he did so with ease and he had an incredible level of control over himself. It truly combined the best aspects of both elements within Eiro right now.

His movements lost all waste, and he reacted to anything that King S threw at him immediately. Even then, Eiro was still hit sometimes, but it was in areas where damage wasn't that big a deal. In places where it didn't matter much in the slightest.

King S pushed another ray of bright, incredibly hot flames toward Eiro. The Demon quickly flapped his wings for just a moment and created a sphere of his freezing light blue flames around him that the regular fire was trying to break open.

The moment that the flames let up, Eiro jumped out of the sphere of flames and attempted attacking the King S. Eiro slid over the ground and pushed his feet into the rocks underneath him, leaving a trail of blue flames behind that created light mist around them due to the immense cold mixing with the incredibly hot air from the Spirit Gateway.

Eiro pushed his fist forward toward the overtaken King in front of him and let the energy flow through his body as if replicating water to some extent. And so, out of the Demon's fist, a head-sized ball of pale blue flames shot toward the King S. He dodged easily and pushed his arm out toward Eiro for what seemed to be a simple punch in his face. It was simple, but if it hit, it would do an immense amount of damage anyway.

And right as King S was twisting his torso to the left to speed up his right arm and get as much force behind his punch as possible, Eiro ducked out of the way and slipped his foot underneath King S' right leg while burrowing his tail in the ground for more grip.

Eiro immediately pulled King S' foot upward with as much force as he could muster as he slid his hands onto the opponent's moving arm. With the help of his tail, Eiro quickly managed to twist his body around and press his back against King S' chest. The practically possessed Salamander King's body was forcing the right leg down as per the control of the Letter S.

But the ground underneath him was already frozen with the help of Eiro's frozen flames and a little bit of blood that he sacrificed from himself. Eiro pulled the leg he pushed King S' up with back and instead placed it onto the large figure's shin to kickly push it backward, using his own frozen blood to make the foot slip away and destroy his balance.

The moment that Eiro noticed this worked, he pushed the heavy body that his back was pressed onto up with the help of his wings and pulled King S' arm to the front.

The Salamander King's body slammed onto the ground with pale blue flames sticking onto it all over, before Eiro proceeded to do something else without a moment's hesitation. He pushed his foot right into King S' face with as much force as he could muster with his whole body.

Blue flames were pushed out from underneath his soles right into King S' face. He kicked down onto it again and again and again, trying to do as much damage as he possibly could. Eiro pushed as much of his mana into King S' head as well with a few traces of this special magic Eiro was making use of, this fusion of Fire and Ice Magic. He intertwined the magic with the Salamander King's mana, which was basically just pure fire magic, and watched as his whole body tensed up in pain.

Of course Eiro was trying to damage him, but for the most part, he just wanted to inflict as much pain onto King S' to force the Letter S out of the Salamander King again.

It seemed to work to an extent, since the Salamander King was able to take over his body for just a moment. A moment that he used to melt the rock ground around his hand and feet, before pushing them right into the hot magma that was created just there.

Eiro immediately cooled the magma down, so that now the King's body was basically trapped in the ground properly, literally fused into it. Eiro used earth magic to push more rock around the limbs and mound it up there, while pushing up right underneath a certain few places around King S' spine to make sure that he was unable to properly move.

And the moment that this was done, Eiro stopped kicking onto the Salamander King's face, and moved into another spot. He slipped down onto his throat and pushed his mana and magic inside to try and torture the Letter S out of the King's body. The Demon could see some kind of slime-like substance ooze out of King S' mouth and the wounds that Eiro managed to inflict upon him so far. It was basically a replacement of what King S would have otherwise bled.

Of course Eiro assumed that this were the parts of that Letter S that happened to fuse with the Salamander King. More and more, Eiro managed to practically torture the man out of the Spirit King as he seemed to get more and more angry outwardly.

It seemed like Eiro wouldn't need to 'extract' much more of that slime out of the Salamander King anymore, when suddenly, he noticed that something else happened. King S seemed to be heating his own body up immensely, to the extent where he actually nearly hurt Eiro. The Demon jumped backward a bit and watched as King S started melting the ground underneath him, and slowly pulled his body out of that magma.

He pushed his body off the ground and stared at Eiro with a deep glare and started to run toward him in what seemed to be a final effort. With his body still as hot as it was before, King S threw his fist at the Demon in front of him. This time, Eiro obviously couldn't just throw him to the ground again due to the immense heat he gave off.

So instead, he had to do something else. Eiro simply tried to keep dodging King S' attacks for now. The Demon knew what happened when you fused with a spirit, and even if it might be different with a Spirit King, a few things must still count no matter what. Using magic, especially creating Fire out of nothing, should be something incredibly mana-draining for the Letter S within the Salamander King's body.

As such, he simply had to wait out for a little while, and maybe do a little more damage here and there.

He dodged the punch and slid to the side underneath King S' arm, quickly punching the Salamander King's side with a quick jab.

King S tried to elbow Eiro in the face, but Eiro leaned back and kicked onto the enemy's leg to get himself away from him. While Eiro was flipping his body around, Eiro pushed this special Ice-Flame magic out of his stinger while running it over King S' skin. As if he was injekting some form of venom, the Demon tried to damage King S as much as he could.

But the moment after he did so, his stinger simply burnt up due to the heat given off by the Spirit King's body. It was a painful experience, but it was luckily just a surface-level wound. Something that could heal rather easily after a bit of rest.

Eiro flapped his wings to turn his body around and immediately created a spiraling tower of pale blue flames that surrounded him, which he immediately pushed toward King S. Of course, he tried to fight back using regular flames, but someone else was also working together with Eiro again.

The Salamander King took the control over his arms and legs back and made sure that the Letter S couldn't do anything, and instead just tried to accept the attack head-on.

Just a few moments later, the Salamander King's body was covered in the pale blue, freezing flames, through which Eiro noticed a slime-like mass try and get out of the range of this attack. But the moment that it did, Eiro ran toward it and focused all of his flames right onto him. Slowly, the slime started to freeze up and completely turned solid.

With a deep breath, Eiro smashed his foot down onto the frozen mass and watched as a notification appeared in front of the Demon.

[You have done lethal damage to Arthur Hermond Langester]

[You have leveled up]

[You have leveled up]

[You have leveled up]

[You have 130 unused Stat Points available]

With a satisfied smile after seeing that the Letter S was now officially dead, the Demon turned his head over toward the Salamander King, who was kneeling on the ground in pain.

Eiro slowly stepped over toward him, extending his hand forward to help him up. The Salamander King, with a light smirk on his face, accepted the Demon's help and soon stood back up onto two legs.

"I thank you... for your help in this. Without you, we would most likely still be stuck under that man's control. Anything you wish from me, as long as it is within my power, I will do it for you in return."

Hearing the Salamander King's promise, the Demon raised his brows, "Really? Then form a contract with me."
