Having released 80% of his devil power, Zenon had become even more terrifying, bone armor had appeared on his body, and even half of his face had been blocked by a bone mask, only revealing one pitch-black eye.
And a pair of bat wings had also spread out behind him, but one was a white skeleton with a fleshy membrane, while the other was completely black.
And in addition to the pair of antelope horns on his head, two short horns had also drilled out of Zenon's forehead.
Those were called devil marks, and were a sign that only devil-possessed people had.
On the side, Yuno was clenching his fists tightly, and the tips of his fingers had even pierced through his palms, drawing blood.
He had felt that he had a chance to defeat the previous Zenon, but the current Zenon had made him not even have the courage to fight.
As if he had sensed Yuno's mood, Drake said, "Yuno, when you and the spirit that you have contracted with can truly achieve a heart-to-heart connection, elf synchronization will be advanced to another stage.
When the fusion with the spirit infinitely approaches 100%, you will reach a realm called the sanctuary.
At that time, you will have the power to break through devil power, just like Asta's anti-magic power."
Saying this, Drake approached Zenon as if he was trying to prove it to Yuno.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Zenon looked at Drake with pitch-black eyes, and then, with a wave of his hand, the bone whips that had drilled out from his back frantically extended towards Drake.
But just as Drake had said, the power of the sanctuary had a suppressing effect on devil power. It could be said that besides anti-magic power, the sanctuary was the only power that could completely kill devils.
The flames that Drake had sent out with this punch had crushed the bone whips, detonating on Zenon's chest with a bang.
The dense cracks on Zenon's bone armor had healed instantly, and then a bone sword had appeared in his hand again, slashing towards Drake, who had already gotten close.
The clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out in a continuous stream, the countless sword shadows and palm shadows colliding together, and for a time, it was impossible to count how many times the two had exchanged blows.
In this process, the bone sword in Zenon's hand had cracked several times, and then had instantly recovered.
As the burly man had said before, devil power could elevate the magic of the host itself to another dimension.
The bone magic that Zenon possessed was the same, both the hardness and the regeneration speed had been elevated to an astonishing degree.
But unfortunately, this kind of elevation wasn't enough to let him contend with Drake.
There was another exchange of blows, and the shock that spread out had forced both of them to take a step back.
Zenon narrowed his eyes, and a new bone sword appeared in his empty hand, stabbing straight towards Drake's heart.
Flames sprayed out from Drake's palm, and using the recoil of the flame eruption, Drake's body turned halfway, just barely dodging the bone sword that had stabbed over.
Drake bent his arm, using his forearm to directly smash the bone sword, picking up the broken sword and directly stabbing it into Zenon's chest.
Zenon cried out in pain, but still created a forest of bone spikes that drilled out, forcing Drake back.
Drake, who had jumped up, looked at the bone spikes that were still constantly spreading over, inhaling a large mouthful of air before spitting out a scorching pillar of fire.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
The bones and flames collided together, but hadn't been able to hold on for long before being directly destroyed, and the pillar of fire had directly spread to before Zenon.
"Space Magic - Empty Devil Severance!"
A gray space appeared as Zenon stretched out his hand, blocking it before the pillar of fire, and had actually eerily erased the flames.
Zenon didn't relax because he had blocked this attack, and had subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.
But he was still a step too slow, Drake had already appeared there, sending a punch that heavily landed.
The surging flames spread out from behind Zenon, destroying all of the bone spears that had stabbed over from behind him.
Zenon's pupils shrank, enduring the severe pain to retreat, and at the same time, a bone whip drilled out from behind him, stabbing straight towards Drake.
Drake's body moved as if it was flickering, dodging the bone whip's attack. In the end, Drake stretched out his hand, grabbing the last bone whip, which was like a venomous snake, using force with his arm to directly pull Zenon towards himself.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Blade!"
Raising his other hand, Drake aimed his flame-covered palm at Zenon, directly bringing it down.
The flames that had been condensed to the extreme brought about terrifying destruction, and a part of Zenon's body, like a plank painting that had been wiped over, had actually disappeared completely.
But strangely, there was no blood flowing from the wound, and you couldn't even see muscle or bone, let alone internal organs.
It was pitch-black inside, as if Zenon's body had been made entirely of dark energy. It made people couldn't help but ask if he was even human anymore.
And within that body that seemed to be made of pitch-black energy, the only thing that could be seen was a still-beating heart, but that heart was also within the range of the wound, so a small part of it had also been erased.
Zenon spat out a mouthful of blood, falling backwards, tilting his head back.
Zenon wasn't Dante, who possessed body magic, and didn't have the self-healing abilities that could be called immortal like him.
Even though possessing devil power had allowed him to have a certain degree of self-healing ability, having a vital organ like the heart attacked was still fatal.
Drake looked at Zenon falling down, but didn't cancel his combat form, but instead stretched out his hand, summoning a ball of dark red Destruction Flame.
When facing this kind of opponent, Drake wouldn't be at ease unless he watched the other party turn into particles that were invisible to the naked eye.
Sure enough, before Drake could throw the flames in his hand, he saw the light in Zenon's eyes reappear.
In that instant just now, in a space that Drake couldn't see, Zenon had made a deal with the devil who had possessed him.
Zenon had given everything that he had to the space devil Beelzebub, in exchange for Beelzebub's heart... a devil's heart.
The heart wasn't just an important organ for devils, it was the source of the devil's power and life. As long as the heart wasn't destroyed, the devil wouldn't be killed.
Drake watched as the broken heart in Zenon's chest rapidly recovered, but the muscles and blood vessels of the recovered heart had turned black.
Then the wound on Zenon's chest also quickly recovered, and even the bone armor had reappeared on top of it.
The ominous vast magic power had directly pushed Drake away, and Zenon had just stood up again like this.
But the Zenon who had stood up again had become completely unlike a human.
The short horns on his head had become much larger, and the pair of large horns had also grown forks. Wrinkle-like black cracks had grown on his face, and his ears had become even sharper.
That pair of devil wings on his back had also turned completely black, and a tail made of bones pieced together was swaying behind him.
As Drake had thought, Zenon was definitely the most troublesome one among the Dark Triad.
Zenon, who had the resolve to bet everything, had actually unleashed the power of a complete devil even though the Gate of the Underworld hadn't been opened.
Zenon grinned, and a cloud of white air emerged from between his teeth, which had become sharp.
"I won't fall here, for the Spade Kingdom, I will definitely defeat you here."
Drake steadied his feet, saying coldly, "You've turned into this, so say fewer lines that a protagonist would say."
Possessing devil power, and with a devil's heart beating in his chest, this kind of existence was already completely a devil!
And the fanatical emotions in Zenon's heart were also exactly the same as a devil's, and someone like him couldn't protect anything at all.
