He was still getting a hang of the power he had obtained from his sister. She was a demon, and most of her power was generally overwhelming as an emperor demon. It had weakened his body because he was human for the most part— but he could feel it coursing through his body and touching where he was weakest—his core which was his gate at the same time was also adapting to the unique energy and carefully distributing it around his body so that he doesn't explode.
How lucky could he be? The cursed energy made this body feel like it was his old one somehow. He felt like Ashbourne for the first time since he was reincarnated into the future.
