"Resolve the battle? Hahaha, Eric, I must say, no one can outdo you when it comes to spouting nonsense!" Dominic said to Eric.

At this point in the fight, can't you see the situation clearly?

You are not my match at all!

"Beast Soul, come forth!" Eric suddenly roared.

His entire bearing, his aura, underwent a dramatic change.

Fierce, terrifying, it was oppressive and shocking.

Chunks of skin emerged from Eric's body, like rock, his clothes bursting apart again.

Following that, bright red flames sprouted on Eric's body, quietly burning.

A towering figure at two meters tall, he looked down upon everyone as if he was the legendary Fire God.

Except for Tang Rao, everyone was stunned, too frightened to speak.

What exactly was this transformation on Eric's body?

It was too horrifying, and that brutal aura was too much to handle.

Especially for Dominic, who bore the brunt of it, God knows how much pressure he felt.

He had a feeling that Eric could easily take care of him, even kill him.

"Come on, keep fighting!" Eric's calm voice rang out, "Think you can bully me? I just didn't want to stoop to your level. I wanted to touch your hearts with true love, but since you don't believe in love, I'll let you see my real strength!"

Tang Rao: "..."

Eric is truly shameless.

"So it's Dominic, huh? If you're not coming at me, I'm going to make a move," said Eric, who was now in his Hell Demon Fire state, indifferently.

Dominic swallowed hard. How on earth could he make a move? You're all ablaze! Besides, I don't even know the extent of your power in this state; what if I end up being tortured by you...

Boom!

The next instant, everyone saw a red flame zip with extreme speed.

A muffled bang, and Dominic was sent flying. Although Eric tried his best to control his strength, the mighty Hellfire still burned Dominic's clothes completely, blackening his skin, making him look utterly pitiful.

"Sorry, I didn't control my strength, didn't think you'd be so weak," Eric said, glancing at Dominic.

Not only was Dominic's body burning with pain, but his heart ached even more.

Damn it, Eric was even more terrifying than Tang Rao, at least, that's how Dominic felt at that moment.

Eric's fist barely touched him, but the flames, like sharks that smelled blood, crazily spread over him.

Even though he reacted quickly, he was still seriously injured.

A crushing defeat.

"Recede!" Eric snapped his fingers, and the flames and rock-like skin on his body quickly receded, returning to his normal appearance.

Of course, Tang Rao had given Eric a Space Token, so he dressed quite quickly.

"Pope, can we proceed now?" Eric looked towards the Pope, his eyes no longer filled with apprehension and caution.

As Tang Rao said, everything is built upon the foundation of strength.

Those words are the truth.

The Pope took a deep breath, frowning deeply. He did not expect Eric to win, his transformation into a Flame Giant was indeed powerful.

"Indeed, you have won," the Pope nodded.

"However..." before Eric could be pleased, the Pope added another sentence, "Our Church Court signifies sanctity and light. Your transformation into a Flame Giant is too evil, like a Demon. It's probably not suitable for the Church Court, not suitable for Alina either."

What?

Eric was stunned; indeed, for the Church Court, purity and light are very important.

His Hellfire Demon transformation was indeed a bit...

"Bullshit!" Tang Rao couldn't take it anymore and immediately started cursing, "Do you even know what Eric is? A Beast Soul User! Do you know what his Beast Soul is? A Hellfire Demon! Do you know what a Hellfire Demon is? The source of myriad fires, the sovereign among gods of fire! Do you have to be so low? So ignorant? Evil? Demons? Did your brains get kicked by a donkey? That's enough, Eric. Just take Alina and leave; don't waste time with these people. In two years, I'll help you reach the pinnacle, and then, no matter the Bloodline Duke or the Bloodline Prince, they'll be like playthings to be easily trounced."

The Pope was dumbfounded. Is Eric that powerful?

To defeat a Duke in two years? And then, Tang Rao mentioned the Prince — does he know about the Prince? Does he know about the existence of the King of Blood Clan?

"Alina, are you willing?" Eric looked to Alina.

"As long as you are by my side, I am willing." Alina had had enough of the Church Court, enough of her own grandfather. After all, she was raised in a city, grown up in an era of freedom and openness.

Deep down, she yearned for love and freedom; the restrictions of the Church Court were indeed too much for her.

So, she preferred to abandon everything. To be precise, everything she currently possessed was something she disliked; it all felt like shackles to her.

"Good!" Eric took Alina's hand, calm and indifferent.

"Tang Rao, Eric, don't rush, let's talk this out," the Pope stood up at this point.

With the strength of Tang Rao and Eric, if they wanted to take Alina away, he couldn't stop them.

Once they left, the relationship between them would be utterly severed.

Moreover, Alina would also leave him.

"There's nothing to talk about, just one question — agree or not," Tang Rao turned around and said.

"This, let's discuss this properly."

"Let's go," Tang Rao turned around.

The Pope, this old man, was also quite cunning. Negotiating with him would probably lead to more conditions. Dealing with this kind of person, being straightforward is the most direct, the simplest.

After all, the message has been laid out here; if you agree, we'll all get along fine; if you don't, we will never cross paths again. Even if you're suppressed by the Blood Clan and can't raise your heads, it has nothing to do with me.

"I agree, I agree!" Seeing Tang Rao about to leave, the Pope finally compromised.

This kid, Tang Rao, was too tough to deal with. At this moment, if he didn't agree, they really would become strangers in the future.

Such an outcome would be a huge loss for the Church Court.

The Blood Clan is growing stronger, the Church Court needs powerful allies, and Tang Rao is very powerful.

"See, isn't it all right to give in sooner? Not such a big deal, right, Eric?" Tang Rao called out.

At this moment, Eric, much like Tang Rao, was also beaming with joy. With a grin, he said to the Pope, "Thank you, grandfather. From now on, we are one family."

The Pope: "..."

As for Alina, naturally, she was overjoyed, dancing with happiness.

Getting her grandfather's approval and agreement was still very important to her.

After all, she no longer had to harbor regrets and loss in her heart.

"Alright Tang Rao, just now, you mentioned the Prince..." The Pope looked at Tang Rao. Now that this matter was over, it was time to talk about serious matters.

The King of Blood Clan — that was a matter that had to be discussed.
