'This is good, right?'
Ackster looked at the Makkel and the burning world that was reflected in his twisted expression. Makkel's expression wasn't that of a sane person. However, his flames had changed. They weren't any hotter or brighter. It was a subtle change, one that Ackster couldn't quite tell what it was.
But the change in Makkel's fire was a qualitative overhaul.
Mbelg's black fires were some kind of corrupted luck-burning flames brought about by the clash of Makkel's fire and Mbelg's miasma and existence.
Based on the raw ingredients of Mbelg's fire, it should be stronger than Makkel's fire since the demon's miasma was more powerful than Makkel and his mana. However, Makkel had more experience with his fire and was better at manipulating it. So, until Mbelg could catch up in that department with the uncanny talents and skills of a demon, Makkel had managed to maintain a stalemate.
