The air grew dense with the darkening skies over the ruins, setting a dramatic stage for the escalating battle. Blackie, now a menacing figure bolstered by his dark powers, fixed his gaze on Marcellus. Without a word, he launched himself at his opponent, his movement so rapid it seemed to create a blur in the air.
Marcellus, taken aback by Blackie's sudden burst of speed, had only a fraction of a second to react. "What in the...?" he exclaimed, his face a mask of shock and disbelief. Scrambling to defend himself, he swiftly activated his Thunder Armor, the air crackling with electric energy as it sprang to life around him. His large sword was firmly in his grasp, poised to meet Blackie's aggressive charge. Despite his quick response, a hint of desperation tinged his actions, revealing his apprehension about Blackie's newfound and formidable strength.
