The stale air of death and battle hung above the two opponents as they stared at each other.
Gerard had a very conflicted and mixed expression written on his face. On one end, he was annoyed at Edward for his arrogance, but he also couldn't help feeling extremely intimidated.
'Tch… this bastard! Why do I need to fear?'
Since he had been given a chance to freely attack his opponent once, he just needed to pummel him with the strongest technique at his disposal.
'What a big mistake this foolish one has made! Kekekeke!'
>VWUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!<
A burst of dark blue light drowned Gerard in its torrents, causing only a silhouette of himself to show. Slowly, his form began to change. His body grew bulkier and bigger, taking on multiple characteristics.
Wings grew from behind him, and claws replaced his fingernails. He grew one extra pair of arms, granting him a total of four firm and powerful arms. A tail emerged as well, with spikes attached to it.
