A formless aura enveloped around Vikram as all of the nearby mini Victoris' gazed in his direction and opened their spider mouths.
'Fhoosh'
Streaks of purple snakes gushed out of the mouths of each mini Victoris and impacted the body of Victoris like a laser.
Victoris absorbed all of the purple lasers that hit its body and began to grow in size. Starting with its spider head, its entire body began to get covered with a layer of purple scales while its eight spider eyes glistened like Amethyst.
Purple smoke then evaporated from its body and converged around Vikram and condensed into a cocoon that wrapped him along with Victoris in it.
The huge cocoon shattered into tiny fragments of light and revealed an adult pigeon from within that shrieked towards the skies and dashed towards the three bluish figures.
The people that had just transferred their Pigeon Karma to Vikram dropped like flies to the ground and got stuck on the net made from spider silk when another batch of people immediately rushed to their rescue.
One of the men who just got rescued panted in exhaustion as he gazed at the mini Victoris that weakly hovered next to him shatter into fragments of purple smoke. The man hurriedly materialised his 'Record' and heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he hadn't lost his mini Victoris; it was only in a state of slumber due to exhaustion.
"The leader's Karmic Art is something else," The man exclaimed with admiration.
"Yes, it is amazing indeed," Another man that was part of the rescue team nodded with a worshiping gaze as he looked at the pigeon that their leader had transformed into.
The pigeon screeched and accelerated in the air to such speeds that it was practically a blur and crashed into one of the bluish figures.
Using its sharp claws, the pigeon swiped towards the face of a bluish figure and drew out copious amounts of purple blood.
'Thump'
The bluish figure immediately wrapped its saw-like hands around the claws of the pigeon that had injured it and plunged its mouthpart into its body.
'Oorhh'
The pigeon screeched in pain as it felt its blood get sucked out; there was the red blood that belonged to the transformed pigeon while faint traces of purple blood were also mixed into the lot.
The pigeon immediately swiped its other claw at the bluish figure and send it reeling in the air. It then flapped its wings and charged into the bluish figure once again.
'Squelch'
The puppet pigeon was injured once again as fighting against two bluish figures proved to be more than what he could currently handle. The strength possessed by the bluish figures wasn't a threat to the pigeon he controlled but their speed proved troublesome.
The bluish figure with saw-like hands tussled with Vikram in the air, while the other two bluish figures fought with him.
One of the two bluish figures had a mosquito mouthpart on its face, a wasp stinger in the place of its legs, the wings of a wasp on its back, and the eyes of a wasp. The other bluish figure was the one that was the most troublesome of the lot.
It had the wings of a dragonfly on its back, the stinger of a wasp in place of its legs, the eyes of a housefly, and its entire body was covered with the wings of houseflies like they were its skin. Each of the numerous housefly wings flapped synchronously that made its speed shoot through the roof.
"Kekeke, for someone…who possesses a…Karmic Art…like our leader…you are….quite weak," The bluish figure with housefly wings all over its skin opened its mouth and could surprisingly still speak their language.
"Aren't you…" Prakash gasped in shock when he finally spotted the bluish figure that came to a stop for the first time ever since their battle began; it was the man with the wide forehead that brought him to the base.
The skin on his face was a deep shade of blue, while from the region below his neck was fully covered with the wings of a housefly that flapped in response to his words as if they too were speaking with him.
It was a familiar face, but the eyes on it that belonged to a housefly glistened with a bloodthirsty craze that made it seem as if his soul had been corrupted.
Prakash also noticed that the man's intelligence had taken a serious hit but his instincts covered up his lack of intelligence and boosted his senses to the maximum.
Purple smoke gushed out of his orifices and transformed his eyes and ears into that of a dog's in order to cope with the threat. He had wanted to preserve his Dog Karma that was already running low but decided otherwise when he couldn't gain an upper hand against his foes even after such a long time.
Based on the short while that he had sat in the meeting room alongside Vikram, Prakash came to know significant information, a part of which also pointed towards the man with a wide forehead.
He was one of the few people in their base that could transform into four creatures; the mosquito, the wasp, the housefly, and the dragonfly. And he had also gained one percent Karma comprehension of all the above four insects that gained him part of the stats of the four creatures.
After gaining part of their stats, the man with the wide forehead had one of the highest agility in their base while in an untransformed state not to mention the disgusting creature he had morphed into now. It looked like all of the strength, agility, toughness, and reaction stats of the four insects had been added to his morphed state.
"After eating your Karmic Art, I would finally be strong enough to consume the leader," The man with the wide forehead cackled with laughter.
"Is that so?" Prakash sneered after hearing the response Ugly Shaggy sent him. The most that the man with the wide forehead could damage was the mini Victoris that was a derivative of Victoris. He couldn't even scratch Ugly Shaggy with all his strength not to mention devouring the even stronger Victoris.
His dog eyes and ears dissolved into purple smoke and was absorbed back into his body. Prakash then sent a provocative glance towards the man with the wide forehead and at the other bluish figure that hovered 3 feet behind him.
"Aren't you guys underestimating me a bit too much?" Purple smoke gushed out of his body in torrents and formed into a cocoon that wrapped around his body and shattered to reveal a baby pigeon from within.
The baby pigeon flapped its wings with great difficulty and began to fly towards the roof of the shopping mall where the severely injured pigeons form the previous battle rested. They were fully incapacitated by the numerous wasp stings that had created hundreds of bulges on each of their bodies while also made their bodies itch like crazy.
As they scratched their bodies in places of itch with their beaks, their feathers began to fall off one by one.
If not for the appearance of the four bluish figures, Prakash and Vikram would have launched an attack on them the moment they healed the injuries of the other warriors. As long as they had sufficient water, their recovery speed was out of this world.
The man with the wide forehead and the other bluish figure immediately rushed towards the baby pigeon when the puppet pigeon crashed into them. The man with the wide forehead swiftly evaded the collision while the other bluish figure was sent flying by the impact.
The puppet pigeon displayed its reckless flying maneuvers as it used its big body to attack the man with the wide forehead who could no longer split his attention onto the baby pigeon.
The baby pigeon swiftly reached towards the top of the shopping mall as sunlight shone on his body when he noticed a bluish streak of light rush towards him, unhindered by the sunlight that shone on it.
"So, sunlight can no longer affect it huh," Prakash noted this information in his head. He had hoped the sunlight would be able to burn the bluish figure but wasn't flustered when it didn't. There were too many unknowns that he had experienced within a day which altered his mentality to not pin his hopes on a single plan of action.
The baby pigeon looked flustered as it saw the bluish figure approach it in close proximity and stung its body with its stinger.
The baby pigeon screeched in pain and just when the attacking bluish figure planned to plunge its mouthpart into its body to suck out all of its body fluids, the body of the baby pigeon dissolved into purple smoke and a huge reptilian head emerged out from within the purple smoke and clamped its jaws on the head of the bluish figure.
The baby Gharial that was 35 centimetres long hulked in front of the small bluish figure which barely stood 5 centimetres high.
The man with the wide forehead timed his attack with the appearance of the bluish figure as he used his superior speed to go around the puppet pigeon and attacked the thin cord of purple smoke that was connected between the puppet pigeon and the baby pigeon with its stinger.
The moment his stinger stabbed at the thin cord of purple smoke, he found out to his surprise that his attack hadn't even made a single scratch on it.
Moreover, by the time he could come to his senses, small image fragments that slithered within the body of the purple cord burned to nothing as a bolt of purple lightning flashed out and impacted his chest.
'Bzzz'
Most of the small housefly wings on his body became paralysed due to the electric shock as he struggled to maintain balance in the air.
'Bang'
The purple cord curled up a little and smacked his body that resulted in his internal organs getting ruptured under the impact.
The baby Gharial spat out the crushed head from its jaws and once again transformed into a baby pigeon and stabilised itself in the air. It then continued to fly towards the surface and landed on the roof of the shopping mall a couple of metres away from the resting pigeons.
The puppet pigeon once again began to wrestle with the man with a wide forehead who had his speed drastically reduced due to his housefly wings getting paralysed.
'Screech'
A cry of another pigeon resounded in the air as the man with a wide forehead was ambushed from behind and had his head severed with one blow.
The rage-filled eyes of the adult pigeon that Vikram had transformed into shot a complicated look at the three dead bodies of the bluish figures and flew towards the roof of the shopping mall to end this battle once and for all before his transformation wore off.
