"Let me show you real power," Henry said, his eyes eerily devoid of pupils, with a third eye on his forehead containing two pupils and a blood-red iris, from which blood trickled.
A voice resounded in Zico's head as he lay on the ground, battered and helpless:
«It's time you let me take control,» it said.
Zico thought back:
«Shut up, you won't help. Let me get enough strength to get up.» He struggled to open his eyes, let alone move.
The voice persisted;
«That's what I'm telling you. When I was Mark's duplicate, I found another way to control a human body beyond your capabilities. you will take my body, together, we could double our power.»
Zico asked:
«What should I call you? Do you have a name?»
«I don't have one, but Entity sounds great,» the voice replied.
Zico urged:
«Do it before Mark is completely done for.»
The voice retorted:
«I thought you hated him.»
Zico admitted:
«I do, but without him, we'll both die.»
Just as Henry was about to deliver the final blow to Mark, he turned around to see two beings standing side by side, two Zicos? It hadn't even been a second since Henry laid eyes on them:
"It's about time you used the power of the last beast," Henry sneered, stomping on Mark's face as he began walking towards Zico and the duplicate.
The multiple portals in the sky, which had been surging with energy, seemed to have calmed down, and were now being ignored. Mark lay motionless, passed out, while Zico and Entity walked towards Henry, their eyes fixed on their target.
"So, what's the plan?" Zico asked, now inhabiting Entity's body.
Entity, who had taken over Zico's body, grinned maniacally and replied:
"It's the battle that matters. You'll understand when you get used to my body."
Both Zico and Entity moved swiftly, but Henry was too quick. He swiftly kicked Zico away and grabbed Entity by the neck, sneering:
"With you, it will all start."
"It will not, this is not my body" entity kicked Henry, jumped back, but Henry had already recovered and was already in front of him about to punch entity when Zico kicked him away to the side, he went down hard hitting the ground bouncing off it badly, then landed down.
"Hmm, this body" Zico was now wondering why this body's powers felt like his own but stronger, sharper, and well built.
"I told you that my body is great" entity said. Zico looked at entity, then at Henry, thinking:
«Can the Armorment transformation work in this body?» Zico thought, looking at Henry, who was getting up battered.
"Of course it can," entity answered, as if hearing Zico's thoughts.
"Let's finish this, in case we have a time limit" entity spoke, two daggers appearing in his hands.
Before entity could reach Henry, Zico had already reached him, not even entity could see how he'd gotten there. Zico landed a devastating blow, sending Henry flying, then appeared behind Henry and punched him to the ground. The next moment, he appeared in front of Henry and carried him off the ground.
"Now you yourself will know what real power is" Zico kicked Henry off the ground, his foot making a loud sound as it crushed into Henry's jaw. Before Henry could come back to the ground, two daggers materialized in Zico's hands, and then he shouted, as he used his improved skill:
"Sharp spinners!"
Immediately, those words escaped his mouth, everything stopped moving as if time stopped. Entity was staring with his hands folded, now frozen, Henry in the air was stuck. Only Zico moved away from Henry, who was stuck in mid air.
From the skies, multiple portals in the air hailed daggers at the speed of light. Thousands and all went and pierced Henry, who was still in mid air, then disappeared. Zico kept walking away, then turned back around. Time began to flow freely. Entity hadn't seen anything, Mark lay on the ground, and Henry fell to the ground, his body devoid of life.
"Wow, you killed him" entity said.
Zico spoke:
"Shut up and watch" Zico was staring at Henry, so entity started doing the same.
"Huh, what do you mean-" entities question was stopped by the energy he sensed.
The impact of the daggers piercing Henry at light speed now kicked in, and the space around him began to surge with lightning as if space itself was warping. It seemed as if the impact was delayed, and the aftermath was going to be catastrophic. The air around Zico and entity began to swirl with energy and lightning, the electricity crackling so intensely that it seemed to take on a life of its own. The bolts of lightning danced around them, illuminating the dark sky with an otherworldly glow.
Henry's body began to distort and stretch, his limbs elongating like rubber as the fabric of space time seemed to bend and warp around him.
Entity watched in awe, frozen in place as the spectacle unfolded before him. The lightning bolts grew more intense, their frequency increasing to a blinding strobe effect that seemed to pulse in rhythm with Henry's distorted form.
Suddenly, the energy released in a blinding flash, and Henry's body seemed to have reset but without his life, his eyes were devoid of life completely. The lightning dissipated, leaving behind an eerie silence.
"This... what did you do?" Entity looked at Zico, his voice laced with fear. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. If he had known his body was that powerful, he would never have offered to switch bodies. Entity vowed to himself that next time, he would use his own body.
Zico seemed to sense Entity's thoughts and replied:
"It's a simple sword skill, anyone from a good family should know it. But they lack the power to use it to this degree." Zico walked towards Mark, his footsteps echoing in the silence. Entity followed, his mind deep in thought.
As they moved away from Henry's body, the portals in the sky began to close slowly, their energy fading. It seemed that Henry had been the key to keeping them open, and with him gone, they couldn't sustain themselves. The air was quiet once more, the only sound being the soft hum of dissipating energy.
