As Light and Raj trained to master Koni, they began to notice a presence lurking in the shadows. At first, they thought it was just their imagination, but as the presence grew stronger, they realized it was a dragon - the same one that had been watching them in the Elven Caves.
The dragon, named Tharros, emerged from the darkness, its eyes fixed intently on Light. It was clear that Tharros had been waiting for him, and that their encounter was inevitable.
Without hesitation, Light steeled himself for battle, his determination to master Koni burning brighter than ever. Raj stood by his side, ready to support his brother in the fight ahead.
The battle between Light and Tharros was fierce, with both sides exchanging blows and neither gaining the upper hand. But as the fight wore on, Light began to realize that Tharros was not just a mindless beast - it was a noble creature, driven by a desire to protect the balance of magic in the world.
Tharros saw the potential in Light to wield Koni's power for good or evil, and it sought to test his worthiness. The dragon's attacks grew stronger, pushing Light to his limits.
In a burst of adrenaline, Light tapped into the true potential of Koni, unleashing a wave of blood magic that shook the very foundations of the earth. Tharros was taken aback, impressed by Light's determination and skill.
As the battle raged on, Light fought valiantly, but Tharros's sheer power and strength began to overwhelm him. Just when all seemed lost, Light remembered the words of the ancient elf: "Koni's true power lies within, waiting to be unlocked."
With a surge of determination, Light tapped into the deepest recesses of his being, unlocking the evolution of Koni - Devil Koni, the black blood. His body began to transform, his veins turning black as coal, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy.
Tharros, sensing the sudden shift in power, took a step back, its eyes widening in surprise. Light, now empowered by Devil Koni, launched a fierce counterattack, his black blood coursing through his veins like liquid darkness.
The battle turned cold and brutal, with both combatants exchanging blows that shook the earth. In the end, it was Light who emerged victorious, his Devil Koni powers proving too much for Tharros to handle.
As the dragon lay defeated, it offered Light a final gift - its heart, and with it, the Dragon's Will. Light, now a master of Devil Koni, accepted the offer, absorbing Tharros's heart and its ancient power.
With the Dragon's Will coursing through his veins, Light felt his abilities expand exponentially, his connection to the world of magic deepening. He knew that he had become something more, something powerful, and something feared.
Raj, who had been watching the battle from a distance, approached his brother, a mix of awe and trepidation on his face. "Light, what have you become?" he asked, unsure of the answer.
Light smiled, his eyes still glowing with the power of Devil Koni. "I have become the master of my own destiny," he said, his voice dripping with confidence.
As Light stood victorious, he felt the weight of his newfound power. He knew that he had crossed a threshold, and there was no turning back. The Dragon's Will coursed through his veins, granting him unimaginable strength and magical prowess.
Light's smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with an otherworldly intensity. "I've become the master of Devil Koni," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "I've unlocked the true potential of the black blood."
Aria and Yohan, who had been watching from a distance, approached their sons. They sensed the change in Light, and their expressions reflected a mix of awe and trepidation.
"Light, what have you done?" Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Light's gaze fell upon his parents, his eyes burning with an inner fire. "I've become the one I was meant to be," he said, his voice firm. "I'll use this power to protect our world, to defend the innocent, and to vanquish those who seek to harm us."
Yohan's expression turned solemn, his eyes locked on his son. "Remember, Light, with great power comes great responsibility. Use your abilities wisely."
Light nodded, his determination unwavering. "I will, Father. I'll make sure that my power is used for the greater good."
And with that, Light's journey as the master of Devil Koni began. He knew that challenges lay ahead, but he was ready to face them head-on, armed with the power of the black blood and the Dragon's Will.
The chapter closes with Light standing tall, his eyes burning with an inner fire, his heart filled with a sense of purpose and determination. The world of magic would never be the same again, for Light, the master of Devil Koni, had emerged.
