18 Whether You Like It Or No (1/2)

”You crazy woman!!!”, shouted the dark flame.

He did not expect her to grab and forcefully absorb his flames. When he thought what just happened, he regretted coming this close.

In fact, he did not need to show his entire form, he could just speak with her in this s.p.a.ce and he could have just given her the small portion of his flame. But alas, he was stupid to let his guards down.

But it was already too late now. This woman has already absorbed him. Besides cursing, all he could do now is to wait for her to die. And after that, he will be forcefully transferred to another host in another world.

As to why he thought for the worst? Because, no one has ever survived absorbing a demon fire. Even the Demon Lord himself doesn't dare to absorb his little brother.

But even with just borrowed power from a demon fire, look at where the Demon Lord is now. He is like a G.o.d. So powerful, that even the entire Council of Great Elders combined could only seal him for five years.

On the other hand, a demon fire can never pick his host. This was the curse placed by the heavens to their tribe. They can choose not to help their host like what the demon fire inside Aurora did but once they let their host die, they will just be transferred to another one and to another one and to another one.

This phenomenon is considered normal for them, but once they found a good host, like the Demon Lord, then they would certainly help him become powerful so he can challenge the heavens and release them from this curse.

However, on Aurora's case, the demon fire didn't try to help her because he thought she's a good seedling. He only did this because he felt his little brother's presence nearby. Also, because of the presence of spirit power and elements, this was the world with the most potential to challenge the heavens.

Five seconds... Ten seconds... Fifteen seconds... The last stupid human he remembered to try to absorb him only lasted this long.

However, thirty seconds... ”Impossible!!!”

Forty-five... All he could hear was Aurora shouting in pain.

”Th-this... this is bad for me.” before he could utter another word, there was a force that took away his dark flames and he turned to a human shape. Then, countless chains slowly appeared and bound him.

”Y-you, you turned me to a mere human? You bi... aaaahrrgh!!!” he wanted to curse Aurora but the chains tightened.

For a proud demon fire who looked down on humans, it was a great humilation for him to be like this.
