    Aiden''s gaze softened slightly as he looked at Ray. "No one deserves such an ending," he replied solemnly. "But the moment he began to refine the Blood Orchid, he crossed a line that can''t be undone."

    He sighed, the weight of the decision heavy on his shoulders. "Honestly, we can try to stop him, but the consequences could be dire," Aiden said, voicing his concerns aloud.

    "I don''t think so, Master," Eeh''liel suddenly interjected, his voice calm and authoritative.

    Aiden turned to him, curiosity piqued. "What do you mean?" he asked.

    Ray, hopeful that his son could still be saved, looked at Eeh''liel with expectation. However, the next words from the Lifeless Emperor shattered that hope, plunging Ray into despair.

    "There''s no need to worry about the young man," Eeh''liel began, his tone detached. "He is already dead. It''s the flower in his hand that is reshaping his body to its desires."

    Aiden''s eyes widened in surprise. "The flower is alive?" he asked, shocked. Until now, he had thought the Demonic Blood Dragon situation was caused by overwhelming grudges and bestial instincts lingering in the blood the flower absorbed. But if the flower itself was alive, it changed everything.

    "Alive isn''t the right word," Eeh''liel clarified. "It''s more accurate to say that it''s accumulated a large number of twisted souls, all thirsting for revenge."

    Aiden frowned. "What kind of souls?" he inquired.

    "Mostly human, with some residual beast souls," Eeh''liel replied.

    Aiden''s expression turned grim. "So, the dragon we''re going to face will definitely be stronger than we anticipated," he said solemnly.

    "I hardly believe it would take the form of a dragon," Eeh''liel remarked, raising his hand. He suddenly fired a Death Ray at the flower. The dark energy struck the flower, obliterating it instantly and puncturing a hole in Sylas''s chest.

    "As Miss Serina mentioned, the last time the flower absorbed only beast blood, it took the form of the pinnacle of beasts—a dragon," Eeh''liel explained. "But this time, with human blood mixed in, we can''t predict what form it will take. What we can do is stop it from fully manifesting."

    Suddenly, Sylas''s lifeless body stood up, blood oozing out and forming a grotesque armor over him. The creature''s face resembled a skull, with hollow eye sockets and a mouth filled with sharp fangs. It opened its maw and emitted a bone-chilling roar.

    "ROARRRRR!"

    "It seems upset that we stopped it," Eeh''liel commented coolly, while others frowned, sensing the overwhelming aura of a peak Spirit God cultivator emanating from the blood-armored being.

    "Blood... Need more... BLOOOODDDDDDD!" the creature bellowed. It lunged at the nearest disciple, its eyes filled with hunger. The disciple froze in terror as the red entity hurtled toward him. But Eeh''liel reacted swiftly, raising a hand and forming a dark shield to intercept the attack.

    "We can''t let it feed anymore, or we''ll all die," Eeh''liel warned, his voice steady despite the cracks forming in the shield under the creature''s relentless punches. The blood-covered being''s attack morphed into long spikes, piercing through the dark barrier. Eeh''liel swiftly moved the disciple to safety and then clapped his hands together.

    A shadow engulfed the creature and the surrounding area, swallowing everything in darkness.

    " Also we should eleminate it before it learn more about his abilities and not to mention it''s emotions"

    " A mindless beast may be strong but its better than a beast with both brain and skills"

    "I''ve removed all the hindrances," Eeh''liel announced, his voice echoing in the sudden quiet. Now, only Aiden, Ancestor, and Eeh''liel were left to face the monstrous entity that had once been Sylas.

    " Others would have only been a means to increase its power with their meager strength " Eeh''liel said.

    The red being fromed out of Sylas, now looked at Aiden as he is the weakest now, he lunged at Aiden with his hands now shaped into sharp blades.
