Blackie, now a menacing figure bolstered by his dark powers, fixed his gaze on Marcellus.

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.
