When Worlds Collide

Chapter Twenty-Three

As he allowed for his energy to regain. This didn't stop him from using his war scythe with precision of a surgeon, systematically removing arms, legs, and the heads of the shadow beast demons in a dance of death upon those who ventured to close. Upon hearing Zeylia "This, this form is just but the tip of the iceberg. And pry if you must" He laughs "I'll probably be obliged to show off more as we continue to vanquish these pesky shadows."

As the commanders slowly fell, and their numbers diminished to only a few remaining. The transformation of the three into a single entity a hell hound of sorts. Though this one, it was large, larger than any he'd ever seen. "Huh, I guess you can show old dogs new tricks." He speaks mostly of himself as he looks at the towering shadow hellhound. Walking to the front of the group. "well, I guess I might just have to show just a bit more of my true nature." His answer to her question as to if not he could do more.

"But, I think it'd be best if I just held back enough, for we don't really even know why you're so intent in eating the souls of the innocent." He was now within striking distance of the tendrils but they had seemingly been to frightened to move. This entire time his eyes locked onto the main eyes of the best that towered over him. "See what I've become, see what I've endured, see what I've done to become who stands before you." The creature momentarily seems to back away more in fear than anything else. But suddenly attacks with everything it had, attacking the spot where he stood. There was a crack of thunder, no lightning just the monstrous sound of thunder as the beast crashes to the ground. A long slice along its broadside ran nearly from neck to tail. Smoke fumed out of the wound instead of blood, falling and floating. The fumes billowed about the wounded beast.

In the same instance of the blast of thunder, he had somewhat reverted back to a more normal look. As normal as an eight winged humanoid looks that is. "See me now for what I've become, your worst nightmare come true." He extends a hand forward, sparks of energy start to form and fall into a pinpoint, slowly growing until a nearly baseball sized ball lightning sizzled in the air. "White Lightning Nova." 

With another crack of thunder, the ball lightning zips right into the wound cut open only moments before. The shadow hellhound looks at him and goes to attack. When suddenly the energy goes off within the beast. What was just the size of a baseball, suddenly and violently explodes growing to the size where the beast was all but consumed by the light energy. 

Walking back to the group as the nova goes off, just as sudden as the ball lightning had expanded it collapsed once again. Fragments of the beast fall and blow about to the ground. The smell of burnt flesh, ozone, and burnt ground becomes nearly all encompassing. His eyes glowing a fire orange, with just a hint of blue.

"To whom it concerns of the darkness, just as the light burned your precious pup to nothingness. Your fate has been silled from the moment I had arrived, but now with my new companions. Well, if I were you, I'd run, I'd run fast, I'd run far. But know this, if you do, you'll just die tired. For we will meet."

The very shadows that were still about quiver as his message was relayed to their master. Taking a moment, he looks to the newly formed alliance. "Everyone in one piece?"
