"You know how to transform as well, Lin Xiang, are you really a human?"

"Not exactly. My body can be considered half-dragon, but my heart has always been human. Bloom Water, you even mentioned that you want to combine magic with your hand blade to kill me. It's quite pitiful. You see, up until now, I haven't seen you use a single magic spell. It’s because you can't use magic in your current state anymore, right? You've lost your magical power and it has all turned into demon energy."

"I don't know what you're talking about! Right now, it's either you die, or I die!" Bloom Water fired several shots, but they had no effect.

"Heh." Lin Xiang chuckled, and his cold sword was now enveloped in red flames.

At that moment, he did not bother to care whether the flames were red or yellow.

With a flicker, his figure left faint traces of fire behind. A red glow filled the space in front of Bloom Water before his eyes met another pair of eyes.

Once, I had normal eyes like this too. Now…

Bloom Water closed his eyes, and Lin Xiang's cold sword descended with a slash.

The ice from the cold sword, combined with the fire of the pseudo-dragon flame, encased Bloom Water entirely, but the ice inside was burning.

Watching all of that unfold, Silent Water only covered her mouth, her eyes moist. She walked towards Lin Xiang.

The battles of the spirits also came to a close. As Freed had said, the spirits that had been demonized were all fighting with their lives on the line. As they were too addicted to that power, they used it without reservation. At first, they were unbeatable, but in the end, they grew weaker.

The water condensed sword, a sharp blade condensed from high-density water.

"Brother!" With bloodshot eyes filled with rage, Dusk Water wielded the black water condensed sword and charged towards Paulie Water. Similarly, Paulie Water held a pale blue water condensed sword and confronted Dusk Water's attack.

"Dusk!!!"

Black and blue lights intertwined.

Paulie Water and Dusk Water stood back to back, their expressions contrasting.

"Brother, why? Why is it that you always excel in everything compared to me, always receiving father's love, while no matter how hard I try, no matter how strong I become, I'm just a mini version of you, always in your shadows. Everyone keeps wanting to compare me to you… I hate you."

"Dusk, if you care so much about what others say, you're destined to never surpass me. The reason you've always been behind me, is because you've taken me as a model. You have been imitating me, so others compare me to you." Paulie Water half-knelt on the ground, his water condensed sword turning into water and applying it to his injured abdomen.

"But, brother, I've surpassed you now." Dusk Water turned his head, glaring fiercely at Paulie Water, "You know? The incident where Fire (Fire Dance’s mother) attacked Delza was orchestrated by me. At that time, several city lords and I conspired to capture spirits as sacrifices for the future. Both mother and daughter were undoubtedly the best choice. They were powerful enough! However, I didn't expect Fire's strength to far exceed my imagination, causing half of Delza to fall into flames. Haha, and at the time, I never expected that doing so would lead to your abdication, while I become the city lord. Haha, that was also considered an unexpected gain."

"So it was you… No wonder, when Fire was dying, she said not to let anyone harm her daughter. It was you who wanted to capture them as sacrifices… You've been planning this war since then. It must have been tough for you. However, it's over now, Dusk, it's over."

"Yes, Brother, it's over. I've won."

"Do you really think you've won?" Paulie Water turned around, looking at Dusk Water. "Although I didn't injure you just now, when my water touched you, I could feel it. Your body is already in ruins."

"You can't deceive me, Brother."

Paulie Water stood up as the purity of the pale blue waters that had been applied to his abdominal wound had now been tainted with black. Water had a slight purifying effect, and Paulie Water used it to draw out all the dark matter from his body. He was currently in a better state.

"Do you not believe me, Dusk? Think about it, from childhood till the present, when have I ever lied to you?"

"It's impossible, Brother! If what you're saying is true, why haven't I noticed a single thing? All I feel is an endless supply of energy." Indeed, since he was a child, Paulie Water had never lied to Dusk Water. It was only occasionally that Dusk Water played tricks on Paulie Water.

"Right now, you're using your life force in battle. It's only when your life force is depleted that you'll realize there's no energy left. Do you really think the demons will accept you? If they do, it's only because they want to form contracts with spirits. For those who don't want to contract, they’ll let you block us. You're a smart fellow, you should be able to understand."

"I don't understand! Brother! Are you trying to deceive me? I'm supposed to become the ruler of the new world! Yahhh!!!" Dusk Water roared as he rushed towards Paulie Water with his water condensed sword.

However, after running a few steps, he fell to the ground, his eyes devoid of pupils. Although there were no visible fluctuations at the moment, his expression was filled with panic.

"Now you know, Dusk. When I was just dodging earlier, it wasn't because I was afraid of you. I was just letting you slowly consume yourself from within."

"Brother, no! Save me, help me! Brother!"

"Dusk, no one can help you. Since you’ve decided to become a traitor, to accept the power of the demons, you've sealed your fate. You're finished. Yet, there's one thing I can still do."

"Brother, what is it!"

"It's to help you break free." Paulie Water sighed, and a water sword formed again in his hand.

"No! Brother! You can't! You have to save me! Save me! I don't want to die, I want to live!"

"Haven’t you heard me? Your playtime is finished! Apologize to Father in the other world." Paulie Water raised the water sword, aiming at Dusk Water's heart, and stabbed.

"No!" Dusk Water spewed black blood from his mouth. His face contorted in pain as he struggled for a few seconds before falling silent.

"Ah." Paulie Water sighed deeply again.

Out of the blue, a pillar of black light rose, like a curtain covering the earth, blocking out the sky.

The surroundings plunged into darkness, without a single gleam of light. The spirits and demonized spirits fighting each other all stopped.

However, the darkness only lasted for a few seconds before dispersing. The blood-red sky, twinkling stars, illuminated every creature present, giving them the light to see each other.

"Damn it, what should’ve happened still happened." Yalide used her big black hands to push away the exceptionally powerful black warrior in front of her. The black warrior blocked her with his sword, then stepped back and returned to the sacrificial platform, standing beside the demon in charge of the sacrifice, staring at the demon abyss emitting the black light.

"Ah~Ah~ Although few spirits have been sacrificed, isn't it interesting to slowly unravel the seal?" The demon in charge of the sacrifice was excited as the red light illuminating from its eyes shone brighter.
