Chapter 44: Basics

Amon's body of black fire—a manifestation of Death Aether, vanished and he regained his original form, though his aura and presence seemed profoundly transformed. Only ten assassins remained standing, yet they appeared poised and ready for battle.

'…I can transform it into any attributed aether I have an affinity for…'
