"Wake up, Lord Barbatos!"
Power... was blending together perfectly.
You see, doing this really creates endless trouble. Chen Tao thought silently.
If he had had any other choice, he never would have tried mixing his power with Barbatos's. But even after falling into such an unfavorable situation, things were still much better than before—far, far better.

On top of that, after obtaining a quarter of the Dark
