'I slacked too much. If things continue this way, it won't be long before I meet an opponent who will take everything away from me.' I thought as I mimicked Giovanni's tattoo and transformed into an animalistic being. I combined it with other shapeshifting abilities so that I wouldn't accidentally use draconic powers and tire myself too much.
That ability was a tough one to deal with as it easily ignored order and took over the host's mind; still, right now, it was the only thing that even allowed me to match the speed and power of that monster. While Giovanni was unleashing his snakes, the armor changed the abilities I was trying to mix with and created a large metallic armor around me with a metal sword in my hand.
