"A letdown?"
The ant beast's voice was filled with irritation. He had expected to dominate the fight, to crush his opponent easily, yet here he was—struggling.
Its glare bore into Grey, eyes burning with fury as a loud shriek erupted from its throat:
"To think you'd force me to use my true power so soon…"
Red mist began to seep from his body, swirling around him like a sinister fog. His massive frame started to expand, muscles bulging as his size increased. He was transforming, growing even more powerful—like a berserker, but without the drawback of running out of time or losing strength. His claws elongated into deadly, razor-sharp blades.
Grey narrowed his eyes and equipped his own weapon [Banesword]. In an instant, his speed multiplied fivefold, matching the Ant King's enhanced power.
With a blur of motion, they collided.
*Clang!*
The sound of metal against claws rang through the air as Grey met the Ant King's strike head-on.
