Blake was definitely startled when he saw the outline of the variant type demon suddenly twist sideways, making his two hands that were prepared to hold onto its shoulders miss their target and letting the variant type demon make direct contact with his body.
And Blake was even more alarmed when he felt two arms wrapping around his body before his eyes were blinded by a blinding light, caused by the variant type demon increasing the heat around its body to its maximum.
With practically no distance between the two of them, Blake's eyes would not only be dry, but they would also be non-functional if they were to make direct contact with such intense heat that could even melt rocks.
So Blake made an instant decision to close his eyes and poured more nether into the dark earth armor to also cover his eyes, essentially saving himself from being blind.
But Blake's fight did not end there.
