Demon King Ascension System

164 Child of The Dark Flame (Blake)

Blake opened up his eyes and saw the variant type demon, the little demoness still standing in front of him.

Blake wanted to raise his hand and offered a handshake just like when he first made the covenant with Robus. However, his current body condition prevented himself from doing so, and a tiny little nod was all his weakened body could do.

However, that would soon change as the effect of his and the variant type demon, Cyra, whose name he had just learned would show itself soon.

Just like when he made the covenant with Robus, Blake now has another new set of runes inscribed on his body. The runes on the left side of his chest belonged to his own bloodline power, the runes on the middle of his chest belonged to Robus, and now, a new set of runes appeared on the right side of his chest, belonging to Cyra’s.

And not only did Blake get new runes, just like how he felt his body felt sturdier than before when he made the covenant with Robus, Blake’s body now started sucking the nether around him at a very significantly faster rate, about twice the usual of his body capabilities, recovering his nether twice as fast than before.

Just like how Cyra used to cycle through a lot of nether because of the nature of her body that constantly had fire elements making flames covering her whole body and it used a lot of nether to achieve that feat.

Blake’s body then regained its strength way faster than before as only a few seconds had passed but Blake was already able to move his hands.

And the last visible change to his body was the addition of a red-colored dot on his eyes that was floating side by side with the brown dot, in front of his jet-black pupil.

At last, it was time for Blake to see what kind of new powers he got from Cyra, the flame elemental variant type demon.

Stats:

Physique: 20

Spirit: 50

Unused: 0

Bloodline Power:

(Darkness Demon) Monarch’s Covenant

As a monarch, your subjects’ power will be your strength and your power will be their strength. You will be able to make a pact with another demon. You will get their elemental affinity and bloodline power, in return, their darkness affinity will be multiplied depending on how high your darkness affinity is. (2/3)

(Earth Ape Demon) Dark Earth Armor

A variation of earth armor that had received a massive amount of darkness element. On top of the ordinary protection you get from the original earth armor, the darkness element would also enhance the defensive capability by absorbing some of the elements that were thrown into the armor to reinforce itself.

(Fire Variant Demon) Child of The Dark Flame

A “Child of The Flame” variant that had been amalgamated with the darkness element. An addition from the original ability to control flames as if part of one’s limbs and being immune to it, the darkness element infusion gave the flames higher destructive and scorching power and also enabled a higher level of flame control for the beholder.

Quest:

Blake saw the number in his bloodline power’s description had turned from ‘(1/3)’ to ‘(2/3)’ and nodded his head in understanding, ‘It means that I can only have one more covenant with another demon...’ Blake thought to himself.

‘I should think about the last one very thoroughly as I don’t know if the limit of demons I could make a covenant with would later increase as I evolved or would it stay as three no matter how stronger I have gotten.’ Blake took a note for himself.

‘Now then for the exciting part...’

Blake then used the nether that he had just gathered with his increased nether-gathering speed to go to the set of runes on his right chest, activating the Child of The Dark Flame bloodline power.

Blake expected that his whole body would all soon be devoured by flames, just like how Cyra looked, only her face was visible due to the flames that constantly burned all around her body.

However, when the nether had filled the runes and Blake felt the bloodline power had been successfully activated, not even an ounce of flame poured out from his body.

Instead, Blake felt a slightly different kind of nether running all over his body.

‘Is this the fire elemental nether running through my body?’

Different from the usual nether that Blake felt running all over his body, the nether that was currently circulating inside him felt wilder, more ferocious, and felt like it had more vigor in it.

‘Does this mean that I could use flames as easily as how Crya did it?’

Blake put his right hand forward in a random direction and then started thinking about how he could use his newfound power to do the same feat as Cyra.

Blake thought that he would probably need to learn to draw new runes to activate his new power since he wasn’t a variant and he possibly couldn’t do the same thing as Cyra, just waving her hands to create fireballs.

However, when Blake was just about to try and put nether on his fingers to try and draw a simple darkness bullet spell to see if there was any difference to his original spell now that he felt his nether was slightly different than usual, Blake had actually underestimated how easy it was for him to move the nether in his body.

It was already very easy for Blake to move, bend, and control his nether, hence why it was possible for him to draw a set of runes in just a second or even faster if it was a simpler rune.

However, it was way, way too easy for him to move the nether, it was to the point where he had only thought of moving it that the nether began to move without him actively trying to control them.

And the nether that was supposed to go to only his fingers had somehow gone past where his fingers were supposed to be, going out of his body, straight onto the environment.

But when the nether came out of Blake’s body, it wasn’t a wave of nether that Blake could only feel but could not see.

The nether that had come out of his body had turned to a spark of dark flame.
