The moment the Throne of Darkness exploded like glass, extremely bright flashes of white light erupted from it, causing Demien to raise his hands in front of his eyes as he formed a frown.

He moved, feeling part of his being burned under the powerful white light. He quickly formed large mirrors around him to defend himself.

Demien's mirrors reflected some of the searing brightness coming from where the throne was, but imitating an element he didn't have was difficult. Faced with the purest form of light, the vampire felt his mirrors tremble as his counterattack failed to weaken the enemy.

'What is this?' he asked himself as a cocoon of mana formed around him, protecting his body and soul from the onslaught of light.

Pulling the layers of protection around his eyes, he looked in the direction of the Throne of Darkness, where a Throne of Light now illuminated Vicente's realm of darkness.

'Time to reveal your full power, my user,' said the voice of Vicente's magical form consciousness.

Vicente was as surprised as Demien when he saw the dark surroundings suddenly become brighter than day. But despite his shock, he understood where it came from.

'I see. That's why I have an elemental affinity for light. In fact, the throne is a singularity with two opposing essences. Darkness and light.'

Vicente smiled as he felt his pain ease and pressed his fists to the ground to get up from where he had fallen.

The cloak of darkness beneath his body disappeared, along with the crown of the King of Darkness, giving way to a white cloak and a silver crown.

Vicente's Trident of Darkness transformed, showing silver outlines while white light vibrated at its tips.

The darkness outside of Vicente's body was consumed by the light, and the realm of darkness was transformed into the realm of light.

'No wonder my Magic Gem is shaped like the circle of Yin and Yang!'

Vicente clasped his hands together as all the remaining bats and corpses in the area burned with the intensification of the throne's light.

'But how does it work? I've only absorbed negative pentagrams into this magical form of mine.' Vicente thought about this point.

The consciousness of his magical form explained it to him. 'Your first pentagram has the same powers for light and darkness. All you needed to show them was the elemental understanding, which you didn't develop before because of the rarity of the light element.

As for your other powers, if you want light powers, you'll have to hunt for special light element pentagrams. Dark powers cannot produce light skills.'

Vicente understood this new point he didn't know about himself. He looked at Demien, who was suffering to prevent the light attack from hurting him even more.

Unlike in Vicente's vision, Demien wouldn't be able to kill him in this first encounter!

In that vision, Demien had killed him with less than half of his power. But today, this powerful vampire had already used about 80% of his power and was in a situation that was far from being a victory.

But as bad as Demien's situation was, he wasn't as oppressed as his former allies.

'Wretch! You'll pay for this!' Demien thought to himself before he used one of his stealth skills and disappeared from where he was standing in front of Vicente.

Vicente tried to prevent him from fleeing, but the truth was that at the level they were at, they could only fight to the point of exhaustion without being able to kill each other or prevent the escape of those who decided to flee.

'Shit!' Vicente still tried to do something about it, but when he started his attacks against Demien, his magical form alerted him to something.

'You will evolve into the indigo grade! I feel something powerful coming towards us.'

Gulp!

Vicente stopped suddenly and opened his eyes wide, feeling a terrifyingly powerful sensation hovering over the area.

'What is it?'

A moment later, he sensed something and looked up at the sky, where a cyan lightning bolt formed and shot down to where he was standing in a fraction of a second.

"Vice." Lauren finally appeared in the area after the realm of darkness and light disappeared, spotting her brother just before the bolt swallowed her voice.

Lauren's eyes narrowed as she made her magical form appear, feeling an immense power forming over the area, with fallen or still standing trees burning while golden rays of light appeared around Vicente.

'It can't be!' She felt Vicente was about to be expelled from the Polaris Realm.

Her heart trembled as her breathing increased, her sweat became more noticeable, while she felt her thoughts slowing down strangely.

Vicente also felt strange as he felt all the surrounding space disappear, his consciousness traveling to a space below the clouds, where bright rays illuminated the back of the area.

There, a pentagram of light, completely white, appeared in front of him before entering his body, making him immediately understand its characteristics.

This pentagram had a special power, Solidification of Light, which could create weapons of solid lightimbued with the characteristics of light, capable of wounding the soul when it reaches the bodybut also photokinetic cloning.

Vicente understood all he needed to understand about this essence in a few moments, when he found himself back at the center of the previous lightning attack.

When he saw himself on the battlefield again, he saw a new cyan pentagram around him, his 12th essence!

'The dragons were right. The Divine Dragons' Matrix showed you two pentagrams. You only had to survive Demien Bloodthorne to get the next cyan pentagram compatible with me,' said the voice of the throne's conscience.

Vicente said nothing, staring at himself as he felt everything about him change, his features evolving as his evolvable pentagrams became more and more indigo.

Then, as he opened his eyes wide, fearing his departure before he eliminated Demien, he felt his first throne pentagram break.

The mana in the area entered Vicente's body as he watched helplessly, unable to do anything to stop the qualitative evolution that was taking place.

After a minute, with only Lauren around to see what was happening, his first pentagram solidified again, this time completely indigo!

At that moment, he looked up to the sky and felt the call he feared most.
