A tear slid down.
Pitch-black flames slowly devoured Bart's body, while the resplendent Blood of the Demigods gathered and took shape, the Hell Dragon Pearl circling that mass of fresh blood for a long time.
A current of sorrowful aura spread out.
That clump of blood slowly seeped into his body.
Immediately after, a soaring aura burst forth from within him.

LV32.

"Don't you find this scene very familiar, Lazy Witch?"
The Black Swan's gaze was calm; she stood there, lost in thought.
