After Tucker made Juin eat something, he dragged Cyrus out of the room so that Juin could take a quick rest, all the while mumbling something inaudible which sounded suspiciously like, "What if I feed him some banned meds?"

Juin quickly fell into sleep, but he soon appeared in his Soul Dimension. 

"You almost fully depleted your energy…"

Sitting on the pure white floor, Juin looked up at Lucifer, who was sitting in midair, and said, "That took me more time than expected…"

"What did you feel when you used my spell?" 

Juin thought about it for a while before saying, "It's difficult to create, but that's because I had trouble focusing after being thrown around." 

Lucifer nodded. "Against that ice boy, and with Cyrus there to delay him, you got more time to form the spell, but in a real battle against an experienced master, you'd have been dead before you could even create half the spell…" 

"I'm not sure if I can even live past today…" Juin sighed as he stretched his body. "My physical body is almost fully depleted, and even with two hours' worth of rest, I don't think I can fight…" 

The Soul Rejuvenation Pills could heal his soul power reserve, which in return, would give back some energy to his physical body. However, even if his soul power reserve could be refilled to the max, that did not mean that his physical strength would be the same. 

"I'm going to need a few hours more before I can deal with Luca…" Juin said as he clenched and unclenched his fists. "And that is if I don't have to deal with Wolfe…" 

"Wolfe…" Lucifer repeated his name. "I'm looking forward to your battle with that puppy more than the Rock fella."

"Rockefeller…" Juin corrected him. 

"Regardless…" Lucifer floated down and sat beside Juin on the pure white ground. "That wind user is strong, but we have fought him before, so we can safely guess that his ability is above yours. If you don't die in his hands, you'd probably lose a limb or two."

"Ouch!" Juin raised a brow at him. "Why don't you just take a knife and finish me off instead?"

"Say, aren't you a little disrespectful lately? Do you think that now that you are stronger, I won't be able to deal with you?" Lucifer said before calling upon a few balls of flames. 

Seeing that, Juin immediately raised both hands in surrender as he said, "I was just joking, Your Majesty!" 

Dispersing the balls of flames, Lucifer then said, "You are already qualified to be in the First Team, so right now, even if you lose to Luca, it's fine. There would be more treacherous and dangerous people once you are in the other world, so having him in your team is not a bad thing. Just use this as an opportunity to fully gauge the levels of your future teammates." 

He thought for a while before saying, "Saville is definitely on par with you."

"Wait, but I won?!" 

"He's arrogant, but that monster spell of his is strong. With a few modifications, I doubt you would be able to win with your Great Flame Body," Lucifer pointed it out without cutting Juin any slack. "Remember this. You have a great Daemon King, namely me, as your teacher, and a demon soul in your body… But that kid only has demon blood in his, and a very much diluted one at that. If you look down on him just because you won once, you'd regret it one day."

Thinking about his words, Juin could not help but nod in agreement. 

"You need to fully learn Enhanced Flame Body in order to deal with stronger ice users in the future." 

The spell that Juin used to deal with the yeti was called Great Flame Body. While it was termed so, the truth was that his body wasn't actually the thing that burst into flame. Rather, it was a variation of his Enhanced Flame Shield. Instead of a flaming shield in the shape of a ball, Lucifer taught him how to modify the spell and turn it into a "suit". 

This way, Juin would appear as if he were the one that burst into flames whereas, in reality, he was just wearing a suit made of layers of flames that no one could see through, giving him a flaming demon-like appearance. 

Enhanced Flame Body was, according to Lucifer, the latest and strongest variation that he learned before coming to Earth. It was a spell that basically removed the "suit". 

So far, all the fire spells he used could not harm his physical body because they were created out of nature, from the elements in the atmosphere. He would create the diagrams of the spells in his Soul Dimension and project them onto the real world.

But Enhanced Flame Body was different. The spell would be created in his Soul Dimension and would be projected within any part of himself that he wanted to. Flames were created from within his body. In other words, the flames would be coming out of the very pores of Juin's body.

Of course, this spell was also exponentially harder than the earlier variations, especially considering the fact that Juin's body was still that of an Earth teenager. As long as he remained in this body, without any help, he would still be bound by the limitations of the Earth human body. 

And this was not just speculation. Juin had actually tried to practice the spell before. He tried to make the flames burst out from within his hand, but he had to stop when he felt the excruciating pain coming from within his hand. Since then, he developed some sort of fear toward the spell and had not tried it yet. 

"Let's leave that aside for now," Juin said with a shudder when he thought about the pain he went through. "We need a better plan."
