Bab 127: Night Shades

"Show me what you got."

The demonic vulture, now armored in bone, lunged at him again. Kaisen dodged swiftly, narrowly avoiding its sharpened beak.

He could feel the increased power and speed in its movements, and it only fueled his excitement.

His mind raced as he analyzed the creature's new form.

The bone armor would be tougher to penetrate, and the vulture's attacks were more ferocious and unpredictable. 

"Alright, let's dance."

It ran toward him, raising its silver claws, each as long as a short sword. Kaisen sidestepped, feeling a swoosh near his ear.

"Damn, that thing is fast."

The vulture swung its claw sideways, and this time Kaisen brought his fist down, blocking the claws.

Blood sprayed from his fist as it made contact.

"I can't block a weapon, even if I'm strong. I'll just dodge and attack."
