Reylin stood unfazed while those volcanoes surrounded him.
Their pressure landed on him immediately after the unique battlefield coalesced. Immense hotness came with it, trying to sear the Crimson Dragon.
But Reylin felt nothing but just a pleasant warmth from those.
"You really want to be with me alone?" Reylin questioned.
Alas, the hubris within Milkyona's heart didn't allow her to answer him. She stood with her gorgeous beauty lit up in this dark place, her eyes locked on Reylin with genuine and lethal killing intent.
At last, the volcanoes spat out other flame rocks.
Reylin shook his head and rose to the skies. He punched those rocks and turned them all into dust with just one punch.
All fell to tremendous Crimson Dragon's strength.
Following those rocks were flame bolts. Those flames were like fairies, quite beautiful and deadly at the same time. It would be good to tame them all, but that kind of topic was for later.
For now, Reylin focused on showing his fire aptitude and dominance.
And he, in fact, made Milkyona knit her long and thin eyebrows, staring at him with shock.
"Have you really thought that I can't face you? That surrounded by your mana, I will be at your wish?" Reylin asked with a straight and serious expression.
Milkyona smiled back, "We are just getting started."
Once again, the pressure heightened, making Reylin feel like he was put in a boiling pot. However, that was a pleasant experience, even if the whole battleground turned quite hotter. Inwardly, Reylin's bloodline scorched and jumped with happiness.
He felt a sudden rush of warmth that washed his body.
[Your Crimson Dragon Bloodline awakens.]
So far, Reylin's only trait was his eyes. Those reptile eyes were draconic, and it was proof of his bloodline.
But during the boiling pot arc created by Milkyona, Reylin's bloodline awakened, and he himself turned into a dragon! His body became laced with scales, then his human form shifted into the dragon similar to the one he could summon.
On his head, beautiful horns stretched, and two of them lit up in sinful flames.
Reylin soon took humanoid form and faced Milkyona with reptile eyes, vast wings, and a long tail behind him.
He was in half-humanoid form, rather.
"Milkyona... You don't recognize those flames?" Reylin curiously asked.
The way he said those words made Milkyona feel like there was some kind of connection between them. No, rather, his words somewhat explained the familiar feeling Milkyona had been feeling all this time!
It happened straight after Reylin's return to the past.
She suddenly felt like Crimson Dragon, and his flames were familiar.
Of course, a sinful part of her erased those feelings continuously. But now that Reylin brought it out, Milkyona stared, confused like never before.
She soon faced Reylin with just a few inches between them.
Both of them felt each other's breaths!
They heard their breathing... and saw each other's reflection in their unique eyes.
Reylin's flames embraced Milkyona.
"Ah... Ah...." she started groaning as those flames weren't nice.
Reylin gawked at that process, "Sin... Of Pride..."
Outside, the battle between black demonic existences and elementals happened.
That battle would become a historic moment for the Faynom World, but that was naturally a matter for the future.
Right now, the clash that decided this world's future was slightly in the Nerven Race's favor.
Naturally, the Crimson Dragon's army helped them.
The king took Milkyona while The Lioness Queen fought against Changnam with an army under her command.
Changnam was pressured by Aria, and it seemed like she would leave a big stamp on the world's future by killing him.
However, that was when a change happened...
"Trap..." Changnam whispered.
In an instant, he utilized the technique to trap... But what did he trap? Aria looked around and literally found no trap at all.
She didn't know what happened as her system didn't help her either.
Changnam explained with a sneer and immense pride, "I sealed the ascended's souls within the clones. They can't leave them... By killing our clones, you will kill the ascended... That's not gonna happen, though."
"What are you talking about?" Aria asked.
Has this man changed sides? What was going on?
Changnam shook his head, looking down on Aria.
He then made a few seals with his hands and summoned out his treasures. Those treasures shocked even others ascended as they believed Changnam possessed just one treasure.
"Changnam! What's the meaning of this?!" One of the ascended asked.
Changnam ignored him and shouted out loud, "Your bodies carry the Sin Of Pride's energy. That energy changed all of you, making you forget about your tough beginnings... All except me...
I have been prideful from the very beginning! I am... the man who shall become Sin Of Pride!" Changnam declared.
And as he did, the bodies of all ascended trembled. Their authentic bodies oozed out dark prideful energy that went straight through portals and entered Changnam's genuine body.
His clone also shattered and turned into prideful energy.
The clones trembled too, cleaning the souls of all ascended off the sin of pride's influence. Naturally, Changnam wouldn't let them have even a drop of it!
Soon, Changnam's real body appeared in the first layer, and he stood with his new looks. He was thinner, handsome, and wore white hair and deep black eyes.
That man was so much different, and his level was unfathomable!
"I am... Sin Of Pride," Changnam lifted his hand.
"You are not," The real Sin Of Pride appeared behind him, piercing his hand through Changnam's new body.
And that was the beginning and the end of Changnam's story.
Sin Of Pride absorbed Changnam's energy and stared down at every living being... His glance left everyone trembling and pinned down.
Of course, he looked toward Reylin...
"I've given you enough time, Crimson Dragon," Sin Of Pride replied with an amused smirk, then lifted his hand.
Powerful energy shook the whole world and threatened all lives here.
"We don't need any spectators," Sin Of Pride, Superbia, decided to kill all except Reylin.
