Demonic Rampage activated

The battlefield was chaos incarnate. Meldos, the A+ rank demon beast, roared, sending shockwaves that cracked the ground and shook the air. Kuro gritted his teeth, his body battered and bruised from the relentless assault. Aurora and Alice, though doing their best to fight, were at their limits.

Aurora nocked another glowing arrow and aimed for Meldos' chest. But before she could release it, the beast lunged at her with terrifying speed.

"No!" Kuro shouted, sprinting toward her. His legs burned, his body screaming for rest, but his instincts drove him forward.

Meldos' claws descended, aimed to crush Aurora. She froze, her life flashing before her eyes. Time seemed to slow, and in that moment of impending doom, Kuro felt something deep within him snap.

A surge of searing pain erupted from his chest. His vision blurred, and an overwhelming darkness consumed him.

Kuro's body erupted with dark, fiery energy. His eyes glowed an ominous crimson, and black, jagged markings spread across his skin like living tattoos. The air around him became heavy, oppressive. Even Meldos hesitated, sensing the change in its opponent.

Aurora gasped as she felt the shift in Kuro's aura. "K-Kuro…?"

But the man before her was no longer the same. His humanity had been drowned in the awakening of his demon blood.

Kuro growled, his voice guttural and distorted. "You dare harm what's mine?" he snarled, his words dripping with malice.

He raised his hand, and the ground beneath Meldos erupted in a violent cascade of flames and shadow. The beast roared in pain, its thick hide scorched and its dark energy flickering.

Meldos retaliated, lunging at Kuro with its claws. But Kuro moved faster—much faster. He appeared behind the beast in a blur of black and crimson, slamming The Eminence into its back with enough force to send shockwaves through the air.

The battle raged on, a clash of titans. Kuro unleashed his newfound abilities with reckless abandon.

Omnimancy: Fire, water, earth, air, and aether swirled around him in a chaotic dance, forming devastating elemental attacks. He summoned a storm of shadow flames that engulfed Meldos, the dark fire searing its flesh.

Dark Elemental Fusion: Kuro combined elements with ease, creating monstrous attacks. A wave of dark ice coated the battlefield, freezing Meldos in place for a moment before shattering into razor-sharp shards that tore into the beast.

Hellfire Conjuring: Hellish flames erupted from Kuro's body, forming a massive wave that consumed everything in its path. The heat was so intense that even the stone beneath them melted.

Meldos fought back valiantly, its strength and resilience unmatched. It released dark tendrils that lashed out at Kuro, but he brushed them aside with a wave of his hand. The beast's roars grew weaker, its movements slower, as Kuro's relentless onslaught wore it down.

Despite his overwhelming power, Kuro showed no mercy, no hesitation. His strikes were brutal, calculated, and devastating.

Aurora and Alice watched in horror, unable to intervene. "This… this isn't Kuro," Alice whispered, tears streaming down her face.

Aurora clenched her fists. "We have to stop him! If he keeps this up, he'll destroy everything—even himself!"

But there was no stopping Kuro. His focus was singular: destroy Meldos.

The fight reached its climax after thirty minutes of unrelenting chaos. Meldos, now battered and broken, let out a final, desperate roar.

Kuro raised his hand, channeling his remaining power into one final attack. Dark Elemental Fusion surged within him, a swirling vortex of shadow flames and dark energy.

"This ends now," Kuro growled, his voice echoing with otherworldly power.

He thrust his hand forward, releasing the attack. The fusion strike tore through Meldos, engulfing the beast in a maelstrom of destruction. The ground shook violently as the attack obliterated everything in its path.

When the dust settled, Meldos was no more. Its massive body lay in ruins, reduced to ash and shadows.

Kuro stood amidst the destruction, his breathing heavy. His glowing eyes flickered, and the dark markings on his body began to fade. The effects of the Demonic Rampage were wearing off, but its toll was clear.

Aurora and Alice approached cautiously. "Kuro…?" Aurora said softly, her voice trembling.

He turned to face them, his expression unreadable. For a moment, it seemed like the darkness within him might consume him completely.

But then, his eyes softened, and the crimson glow faded. He collapsed to his knees, exhausted and wounded.

Aurora rushed to his side, cradling his head in her arms. "You're back," she whispered, tears streaming down her face.

Kuro managed a weak smile. "Did… did we win?"

Alice nodded, her voice shaky. "Yeah. You did it, Kuro."

As Kuro slipped into unconsciousness, the system's voice echoed faintly in his mind.

Demonic Rampage deactivated.

Status: Critical condition.

Congratulations, host. Victory achieved.

And with that, the battlefield fell silent.
