Chapter 58: This Is Fire Happiness Mode!

But not long after, Luo Jie figured out the mechanism.

At the same time, the Holy Master keenly sensed the anomaly in his body.

He discovered in horror that his own magic was being continuously siphoned away by Luo Jie.

Not just the magic contained in his last three talismans—Rat, Ox, and Horse.

Even the Fire Demon Qi, long exclusively his own, had been drained significantly.

The Holy Master roared in fury: “Despicable thief, what have Itachi done?”

Yet as the Rat talisman’s magic was stripped away, his body began uncontrollably transforming.

His massive form coiled, shrank, and ultimately turned into a stone statue, locked tightly within the prison.

The Holy Master lost his freedom once again.

Now he didn’t even have the right to hold a steamed bun and sing about prison tears.

On the other side, Luo Jie’s body underwent a startling transformation.

A blue-purple demonic aura wrapped around him.

His head became pointed, his skin turned an eerie green, and a long tail sprouted from his back.

Shit, plastic surgery failed.

I’ve become a demon.

But Luo Jie quickly understood the reason.

Although he had successfully drained the Holy Master’s magic,

apart from the talisman magic already separated by the Separation Spell, the Fire Demon Qi was wildly chaotic and utterly beyond Luo Jie’s control.

Luo Jie guessed his current state was at best half-Tailed Beast transformation… demonic transformation.

He had not yet entered true Fire Demon Mode.

So Luo Jie focused his mind and began suppressing the wild magic within him.

Through his effort, the unruly magic gradually calmed, ceasing its chaotic surges.

As the magic stabilized, Luo Jie’s body changed again.

The demonic features faded—his head lost its point, his green skin returned to normal, and the tail vanished.

In its place appeared a robe woven from condensed Fire Demon Qi.

The robe resembled a wizard’s robe, similar to the blue gown the Holy Master wore after possessing Valong, and also echoed the red-purple robe of Zhan Lan.

But this robe was formed from demonic aura, like Naruto’s Sage Mode, only colored blue-purple.

Compared to the previous mess, this was haute couture skin—the aesthetic of a demonic wizard’s robe.

“This is Fire Happiness Mode!”

“No, Fire Demon Mode!”

Luo Jie secretly rejoiced—he could clearly feel his overall power had surged, and he could now manipulate Fire Demon Qi at will.

Yet the downside was he could not yet manifest the Holy Master’s physical form.

According to Luo Jie’s guess, achieving that required reconciliation with the Holy Master and entering full demonic transformation.

It was like the difference between Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Kurama Mode.

Full demonic transformation—let’s call it Holy Master Mode.

The Holy Master watched Luo Jie freely playing with his own power outside the iron gate, his rage uncontrollable.

Fuck, now there’s an Ox too.

Talismans were fine—had been played with by countless others.

But even the Fire Demon Qi had been stolen.

That had always been his power.

The Holy Master was filled with fury.

Seeing the Fire Demon Qi transformed into a wizard’s robe, the Holy Master could bear it no longer.

His beloved Fire Demon Qi had now become entirely shaped like Luo Jie.

Unfortunately, Luo Jie didn’t care about the Fire Demon Qi the Holy Master cherished.

After playing with it for a while, he found it boring.

After all, Luo Jie was already very familiar with flame power.

That was the Nine-Tails’ specialty—nothing remarkable.

So he shifted his attention to the newly separated talisman magic.

Thanks to the Separation Spell, the magic from the Rat, Ox, and Horse talismans had been completely stripped away.

Unlike the Fire Demon Qi, which Luo Jie could only borrow, not fully extract from the Holy Master.

Rat, Ox, Horse.

Added to the Pig, Dog, and Chicken he had already absorbed.

And the Snake talisman he had yet to absorb.

Of the Twelve Talismans, he now possessed more than half.

With the Horse and Dog talismans, Luo Jie had achieved true immortality.

Luo Jie proudly declared:

The Gray Mist Hall has been updated—it’s now version 2.0.

The Nine-Tails Milk Dragon is no longer a powerhouse; it’s become a version outcast.

The new version’s answer has appeared.

It is—the Great Holy Master Jinchuriki!

Thanks to the Holy Master’s 24/7 nonstop service, Luo Jie has a continuous supply of magic to drain.

But he wondered whether this power could be shared with other Luo Jies.

After all, the Naruto universe’s Luo Jie had never been a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Thinking of this, Luo Jie vanished from the sealing space, leaving only the petrified Holy Master roaring in fury.

Luo Jie wasn’t worried the Holy Master would break the seal.

If facing the demon wizard who once ruled Earth, Luo Jie might have hesitated, fearing the seal could be undone.

But sadly, the current Holy Master, tormented in hell, had his wisdom severely eroded—he was completely insane.

The Holy Master is the real Milk Dragon!

He’d even forgotten his own spell compendium.

And he still thought he could break the sealing array?

Pure fantasy.

Besides, Luo Jie wasn’t useless.

If he sensed any attempt by the Holy Master to escape, Luo Jie would strike without hesitation.

…

When Luo Jie left the sealing space, he suddenly found his father standing right before him.

Cheng Long and Akatsuki Yu were gathered around their father.

“Dad, he just turned into a lizard-man!”

Akatsuki Yu pointed at Luo Jie, eyes wide.

His father spoke seriously: “Ah, that’s the Holy Master’s demonic aura.”

“He sealed the Holy Master inside himself and seems able to control his power.”

Cheng Long frowned in concern: “Dad, won’t this cause problems?”

His father snorted: “I’ve never seen this kind of spell before—I need to study it.”

At that moment, Luo Jie moved.

He glanced at the surrounding buildings, utterly ruined, then activated the Horse talisman’s magic.

This is the Horse talisman!

The God of Repair!

From common colds to meteor strikes—everything can be fixed.

Under the Horse talisman’s power, the shattered buildings restored themselves.

Bricks and tiles reassembled, walls smoothed, windows and doors returned to place.

The San Francisco construction crew collectively lost their jobs.

Akatsuki Yu gasped in awe: “Dad, is this magic too? So cool!”

His father explained: “That’s the power of the Horse talisman.”

Suddenly, Akatsuki Yu realized something, eyes wide in shock.

Did my summer homework get fixed too?

This talisman isn’t cool at all.
