Bab 59: One Against Twenty

[Mythical Race Attribute: (Searing Anger) Is in effect]

The forest seemed to hold its breath as my challenge hung in the air, the tension crackling like lightning before a storm. 

I stood at the precipice of action, my heart racing with a mixture of anticipation and exhilaration. 

The figure before me remained shrouded in darkness, their dark-ink mask stretching throughout his body concealing their emotions.

As I prepared to face against their numbers, I could feel a surge of energy coursing through my veins, a primal force awakening within me. 

"Ahh…" My body tingled with electric anticipation, and I felt a strange sense of clarity, as if every fiber of my being was honed to a razor's edge.

And then it happened—the transformation. 

The world around me blurred as my body rippled with light blue electrical tendrils, scales dotting the sides of my jaw. My palms took on a reptilian texture, and my pupils narrowed to form vertical slits.
