'Death Binding. This should be able to contain that Akuma for a bit.'

Meanwhile, Enorin used her Bloodline essence, healing her wounds swiftly and calling her Lance back while the Akuma-possessed Dark Hunt Sea Horse just watched her with a wide grin on its face without doing anything.

"Lovely! Your Bloodline nature is resistant to my Nether power and you have much potential…Khrahaha! How about you surrender your body to me and I won't torture you and your friends above? You should know that people like you are born to serve as our hosts, Khrahahaha!"

Enorin coldly grunted before her aura increased drastically, infusing her power in the Lance. The veins on her body turned intensely red as she exerted the full physical strength that Aleron had buffed while using a powerful skill.

"Bitch!" Akuma snorted upon seeing that and swiftly used its power. 'Her attack will affect me slightly due to the opposing attribute it has…humph, but you won't escape from me.'

In the next second, a blinding golden beam shot at it that was Enorin's Lance and struck the Akuma who had wrapped itself in a black energy cloak pulsing with dark violet sparks.

The Lance broke Akuma's defense after clashing for one full second and exploded.

However, Aleron was shocked to see that only cracks appeared on the monster's body instead of seeing it getting blasted into pieces. 'What the hell? It's too fucking tough.'

In the next second, the Dark Hunt Sea Horse suddenly felt something and looked above, seemingly piercing its gaze and looking straight at Darzax.

"Bastard, you're dead soon," Akuma sneered while black chains wrapped around it with white skull patterns that glowed intensely.

Enorin saw that Akuma was sealed and flew up like a beam of light before appearing beside Aleron.

"It won't contain that Akuma for long. We should escape," Enorin said with a grave expression.

"Can't I do anything about this?" Aleron gritted his teeth.

Enorin and Darzax looked at him.

"There's one way," Darzax said as he looked past Aleron, at Enorin. "Enorin, if your strongest skill can be augmented by lord's Magilore energy, that Akuma should die."

"Magilore?" Enorin raised her eyebrows before surprise settled in her eyes. "So that was the Magilore energy that boosted my physique?! No wonder…"

"You've heard about it before?" Aleron asked.

"Mhmm," Enorin nodded. "I've heard and read about it, but haven't seen it or witnessed anyone use it in my past life. I died in a war against demons, killed by an Akuma before I could get stronger."

"Five seconds," Darzax said as his expression turned severe. "Four."

Enorin began preparing her attack skill right away.

Aleron nodded with resolve and said, his fist clenched, "Let's kill that fucking Akuma!"

"Master, I will prepare my skill, but it is up to you to use Magilore to augment it. I cannot control Magilore nor wield it, so you have to maintain that control."

"Got it," Aleron floated behind Enorin and put his hand on her shoulder. "I am ready."

"Two," Darzax continued his countdown as he looked at the Dark Hunt Sea Horse who had almost broken free of Death Binding. 'As expected, the effects of Death Bindings are useless against it.'

Right as the Akuma broke free, its Dark Hunt Sear Horse body blurred and appeared right in front of the trio after a second, floating just ten meters away from them.

Its colorful eyes spiraled circularly with maddening excitement, but its eyes were not on Darzax or Enorin. Instead, they looked at Aleron.

'Magilore! Are you freaking shitting me?!'

"Die," Enorin coldly uttered as her Lance glowed intensely before releasing a golden arrow boosted by Aleron's Magilore.

Fortunately, Aleron had monstrous control over Magilore due to his unique Magilore source. He managed to augment and control the attack perfectly.

*Boom!*

The Dark Hunt Sea Horse was struck by the arrow, enveloping it in a bright golden sphere that disintegrated it completely.

But…a creepy laughter rang that caused the expression of Enorin and Darzax to change drastically.

"Haha…hahahahahaa!"

"What is this freaking body?! This power source…" Aleron's eyes swirled with colorful spirals as he manically laughed, his mind under attack by the Akuma as his body was possessed!

[Danger! Danger! Your mind is under attack and the soul is being eroded. Resist and fight against its influence, please. Do not give up.]

[Do not give up. Fight against it.]

[Do not Give up. Fight against it.]

[Do not Give up. Fight against it.]

Aleron looked at the darkness that enveloped him, hearing the notification voices while feeling chilling yet burning pain.

A pair of dark violet eyes with black and purple outlined heads appeared before him and laughed creepily. "Brat, I don't know how you got such an otherworldly power, but it is mine now."

Aleron looked at this horror while bearing the pain and soon understood his situation. 'I am possessed...'

"If you don't want to get tortured, obediently give up and let me take over. Otherwise...I will torture you so much that you will beg for death of your mind and I still won't give you that relief!" Akuma said in a jarring voice with a ruthless and diabolic grin stretching on its demonic face.

[Do not give up. Fight against it.]

Only Aleron's consciousness and Akuma were present in this mindscape, and if Aleron let Akuma defeat his spirit and will, he would completely lose his body.

It also looked like the system voice and power to use the system was not available to Akuma enough though it was inside his body.

'I have to kick him out!'

While bearing the pain, Aleron's consciousness took the shape of his body as his eyes showed anger and determination, "You bastard. You are not taking my body!"

Akuma's demonic face laughed out loud in response, "You filthy human. There's not even the slightest chance of you to resist my influence and torture."

"Get ready to suffer in my hell," Akuma's face was warped creepily while grinning. "Not just you. I will torture everyone close to you. Physically and mentally both, khraahahaha!"
