John's strength had advanced significantly since his battle with the Lord God puppet.
It had to be the augmentation from the United Sword!
Burning Sky stared at the longsword in John's hand, his eyes glinting with greed.
"Netherworld Hellfire!" he roared, unleashing his most powerful attack.
Black flames surged into the air, howling as they engulfed John's massive form in an instant.
A searing pain coursed through him. This black Hellfire didn't just attack the soul; it also corroded the body. It was even more sinister than his Golden Flame Lotus.
Fortunately, John had already encountered this type of flame's power through Ice Talker. His Golden Flame Lotus could refine and absorb it, neutralizing its threat to his soul.
With a thought, the Golden Flame Lotus began to circulate within him, absorbing and refining the black Hellfire.
