His body was shrouded in blue scales--like armor--and two horns protruded from his head.
As the flames cleared upon the human's emergence, his form became more pronounced.
He still had his human shape, and his face was well-represented, but a majority of his body was now covered in something else.
Something powerful!
If the Middle-Class Demon didn't know any better, she would have mistaken him for a member of her Kin.
But, the receding shapes of his horns did not resemble a Demon's--no, they were more akin to the second strongest race in the world.
As of this moment, the Mid-Demon was certain...
"It's time to finish this."
... That she was staring at a Dragon!
****************
'I bet she didn't see that coming!' I grinned as my glowing blue eyes stared hard at the obviously stunned Demon.
To be honest, I had a bit of a close call just moments ago. That Trap Magic she used took me by surprise. If not for my Fire Resistant outfit, and then my transformation, I would have been toast--like, literally.
'After defeating the Earth Dragon for a second time, [Draconic Physique] evolved to [Draconic Transformation]...'
That was the reason I currently had this dope dragon-like form--like a certain Anime Character I knew who was Lord of the Seven Seas.
"Time to end this. Resistance is futile." My deep voice commanded power, almost scaring me in the process.
I watched as the Mid-Demon slowly sank into despair, and to be honest... I almost felt bad. It wasn't because of her predicament, but because of how unfair our matchup was.
'She has scary Skills, and our Stat difference isn't too vast. If things were slightly different, I would be the one on the losing end.'
The reason behind my rationale was quite simple.

Rewinding to a few moments ago--when the Mid-Demon was using her volatile Skills on me.
I was genuinely scared out of my mind. A Demon of her caliber had to have about five Skills at her disposal, and they were going to be more frightening than those of humans.
I wasn't wrong!
[Enemy Skill: Evil Eye is being used on you...]
'Eeeeeekkkk!!!' I nearly cried when I saw the System tab.
Evil Eye was a Demon Exclusive Skill that injected Miasma into a target and the poor soul to descend into madness and depravity. The effects were random, but most of the time, the victims would lose their sense of reason.
Poisoning was also another effect.
Miasma was harmful to non-Demons, so that made sense.
Expecting my body to be invaded by Demonic Energy, I desperately tried my hardest to hide my fear. However--
'E-eh...?' I was very shocked.
But, once I thought things through one more time, I realized it.
'The [Fool] Title negates any 'confusion' or 'insanity' Status Condition. It must have negated the Evil Eye Skill.'
It basically served as Plot Armor against the Mid-Demon's ability, saving me from humiliation--or worse, death.
'I don't know which is worse, at this point...'
Still, I knew I wasn't in the clear yet. The Demon still had other Skills to utilize, and I prayed my luck would save me once again.
Did my prayer work?
[Enemy Skill: Predator is being used on you...]
'Ah...?'
[Enemy Skill: Marionette is being used on you...]
'... Isn't this cheating?'
She used up all of her Skills, yet my Titles or Skills were always against them. I was frankly shocked by my new identity--a walking Plot Armor machine.
'Hehehe.... heheheh... hehehehehe!!!'
I was invincible.
With that mindset, I carelessly fell into the Mid-Demon's trap and realized how screwed I was. Welp, we all know what happened after that.

"RARRRRRHHHHHHH!!!" The Mid-Demon finally snapped, forgetting reason as she lunged at me.
'Whoah!' I quickly evaded her feral attack, tightening my fist while concentrating an immense amount of Mana there.
>WHOOOSSSHHHBOOOOOOMMMM!!!THUMP<
"Me... Surrender."
