Karni's body continued to mutate.
He grew to be over three meters tall, and his skin turned a dark purple mixed with shades of blue. Vein-like or sinew-like patterns bulged on his skin, and his muscles trembled and twitched all over. All the wounds on his body stopped bleeding and instead oozed a dark, viscous flame.
His burnt face became even more terrifying. Probably, even Karni himself would be startled if he saw it.
The wings on his back—rather than calling them wings, they were more like ribs growing out of his back. Membranes similar to those of a bat's wings stretched between the ribs.
He was gradually turning into a demon.
And this scene was all too familiar to Annan—
Yes.
After he came to this world and entered the first nightmare... Captain Claus had tried to transform into this very form at the end.
But he didn't complete the transformation and was killed by Annan with a finishing blow.
