Ethan was breathing deeply, trying to stabilize his magic on Aracne's back. He could feel the energy fluctuating dangerously within him as Aracne and Neith fought fiercely against the horde of insects that kept attacking relentlessly.
"Hold the line, Neith!" Aracne shouted as her legs sliced through a swarm of giant beetles.
Neith, with her skills, crushed the insects while her mummies formed a defensive perimeter around them.
Ethan closed his eyes, focusing on his inner energy. He felt the chaos within him, like a storm threatening to overflow. Despite his efforts, he couldn't stabilize his magic. After several failed attempts, he felt a familiar transformation beginning.
His body began to change, his muscles strengthened, and his skin turned gray. Wings sprouted from his back. Ethan, now fully transformed into his demonic form, was surprised.
