Although an awakeners natural healing is potent, the heavy injuries he sustained are beyond regular healing. His fusion and strength are the only things that kept him alive.
So when he woke up he was in severe pain, but that didn't matter to him because as he looked around he realized something. He was back in a cell!
"Hey relax!" Gareth suggested telepathically. Greg however was in no mood or maybe he is scared too. He begins panicking, frantically pulling against the chains ignoring the pain.
'I don't want to go back to a cell! I won't! I'm strong enough not to! WHY AM I HERE!?!' He agonized over the thought of being back in that hell.
He grew more and more erratic thrashing about like a fish caught in a net.
While Morgania tries to get through to him, Gareth held a calm expression as if nothing was happening.
As he thrashed his power began to surge unconsciously, deforming the darkness lurking in the shadows and drawing it to him.
His rage and fear continued to grow as he began to yell out!
The darkness grows more rampant as it rushes to him like a water pump being used by a machine. Soon enough anywhere and anyway darkness could slither over to him it did!
The torch that providing a dim light began to flicker obeisantly as if a whirlwind was rushing through the hall!
His rage grew!
The darkness grew.
His fear grew!
The darkness grew.
HIS RAGE GREW!
the darkness devoured!
HIS PANIC GREW!
the darkness intensified!
At this point Morgania gave up trying to get through to him opting to defend herself from the waves of dark energy crashing against her body. The torch that flickered goes out allowing the darkness to grow.
Soon the energy inside Greg's core stirs like the darkness outside.
The darkness that surged to him begins to form a whirlpool in between Greg and Morgania. It grows larger, as it's iris was infused with his energy.
Soon enough there was a distinct difference between the edge and it's center as the seemed to be endlessly black like staring into the corner of a dark room.
After two more seconds of expansion, a robust arm emerged from the center!
------
With all the commotion caused by Greg it would be madness if a guard didn't hear and come to investigate.
Which they did!
Two reptilian humanoid demons, clad in black steel armor, begin rushing down the hall. As they grow closer a monstrous roar reaches their ears and far beyond. This spurs them to go even faster and in only a minute they seen the origin of the roar.
It is a cell seeped in darkness.
Cries and screams of terror emanated from the largest cell, and the only one in the hall.
The two demons slowly approached the cell to get a better view. There they see the dragon, the girl and the boy, assigned to them to guard.
However one more creature stands in the center of the room! It was hard to make out details, yet it was crystal clear it is large creature judging by the silhouette.
this left the guards wondering how such a gigantic creature managed to get in here undetected until now.
They had little time to think before the creature acted.
------
In Greg's panic his power acted on it's own or maybe it didn't? However reality was clear Greg summoned something unconsciously and it drained 3/4ths of his energy.
What stood before him however was well worth it.
A large creature that was barely small enough to fit in the humongous room, was staring down at Greg who was staring up at him reading his stats.
~~~
Abyssal Behemoth {Rank-B, advanced grade}
Element: darkness
Class: destroyer
skills:
armored roll (curl into a ball and use the darkness to propel in different directions)
shadow breaker (forge spike of darkness on the skin during armored roll)
fortify (use darkness to create a rock like mana skin)
Spells: cannon rush, relentless rage
~~~
'I'm not even rank-B yet so why is he?' Greg wondered but quickly dismisses the thought as long as he had this behemoth, freedom feels within grasp.
However something was off with his connection to the behemoth.
'Free me!' He telepathically orders to the behemoth but with one communication he realized it's intelligence was low and their minds aren't absolutely linked like with the others.
failing to even realize the chains were what was keeping him there or ignoring him entirely it grunted then turned towards the cell.
Right before he could correct his order two reptilian demons arrived in front of the cell!
Seeing this Greg ordered the behemoth to hurry and break his chains, which it ignored as well as instead opting to charge to cell door.
The two demons who were both element less rank-B's.
The lack of an element while being ranked is common, since its possible to gain a core with no element attached however that also means lack of class and spells.
The two couldn't help but feel frightened as that was the natural response when being in the presence of the abyssal creatures, especially one so strong.
Boom*
Bang*
It slams its whole weight into the cell door multiple times with each time shaking the walls and slightly deforming the bars.
One demon yells for backup while the other is telling it to stop like a chihuahua barking orders.
For obvious reasons the behemoth ignored it. Looking at the still standing cell bars it grew confused.
Greg took advantage of it's confusion to yell out another order.
"BREAK MY CHAINS!" He roared out to the behemoth.
This time it seemed to understand as it turned to look at him. It trudges over to him. Sends a heavy fist down on the chains and wall.
This breaks the chains but surprisingly only cracks the wall.
After breaking the chains the behemoth just stops and stares as Greg gets up. He calms down a bit now that he's but the suffocating feeling of being in a cell is still overwhelming.
With fury in his eyes he cries out. "MORBEROCK!"
He looks to the behemoth. "Fuse with me!" He commands. Although it doesn't completely understand it surrenders its body to Greg and they fuse.
The fusion however feels uncomfortable like forcing and holding a spring down or fitting into the wrong sized pants.
'Is this feeling due to lack of strength or connection.' Greg wondered then started ignoring since he didn't have time to ponder this feeling.
after fusing with the behemoth and let out a deafening roar aimed at the two demons with their spears pointing at the cell waiting for reinforcement. This roar is great release to the rage that's been building up.
he quickly frees Morgania and Gareth then looks over at the cell bars. 'I will break out!' he affirms.
To follow it up he used armored roll combined with fortify and shadow breaker as well as a layer of black-stone.
Now that he is ready The last thing to do is attack!
