Ashiro's trembling body began to emit a low, guttural sound, an unnatural, inhuman growl that sent shivers down Lady Naga's spine. His outstretched arm convulsed violently as the black and crimson energy swirling around him intensified, twisting and writhing like living entities. The Terradrakes hesitated, snarling and backing away instinctively as if they could sense the birth of something far more horrifying than themselves.
"Ashiro!!" Lady Naga shouted, her voice desperate, but it was too late.
With a sickening crack, Ashiro's body arched backward unnaturally, his mouth wide open in a silent scream. His pale skin darkened, taking on a slimy-like texture as jagged, armored plates burst through his flesh, his limbs elongated grotesquely, with talons sprouting from his hands and feet. His jaws stretched, his teeth transforming into jagged, razor-sharp fangs, while his once-tearful eyes became a complete ball of abyss along with the upper region of his face.
