Chapter 388 - Forbidden Ones Ego Rematch 4 (1/2)
-----
The Forbidden One's Ego entire body began to slowly compact itself, gathering into a single and large body instead of an expansive mass of limbs and black ooze, which was way better to fight against these strong enemies, he had to compact his strength in a single and more well-structured body, but because he was made out of pieces, it was very hard to assemble them together into some sort of form that could maintain itself, and it was a taxing job for him…!
However, at long last, all of his power finally gathered together, as an aura of darkness and void surged from within his humanoid-shaped appearance! A menacing dark knight emerged; a grotesque bug-like knight covered in an exoskeleton made of dark metal.
The Forbidden One's Ego had finally compacted his power. His previous form, although it was often used to go ”all out” was mostly used out of desperation, and even when he laughed at Chaos almost killing him, he was pretending to be fine so Chaos wouldn't be able to detect his weaknesses. However, such a form was out of desperation to maintain himself alive, the enormous attack that Chaos had used back then, which he had not tried again which made the Forbidden One's Ego assume that it couldn't be conjured all the time, had almost killed the Forbidden One's Ego, but thanks to this form, he had been able to survive barely. And now that he could finally go back to a compact form which would offer more speed and raw concentrated power, he finally felt like he could have a greater chance at surviving and even defeating the two foes in front of him.
Chaos looked into the Forbidden One's Ego's body, it reminded him of how he looked before, in the first time he meet him, the Forbidden One's Ego resembled a tall bug-like humanoid covered in black metallic exoskeleton, he even had wings and was completely hideous, but now he seemed to be more regal, his appearance had become more refined, and he looked menacing and powerful. The thin arms, legs, and body became larger, he had four pairs of muscular arms covered in this exoskeleton that resembled a dark armor, and his head was also covered by the exoskeleton, giving the Forbidden One's Ego the appearance of wearing a malefic black helmet.
The rest of his body was clad in this black-colored metallic exoskeleton armor, as he had two large black-colored moth-like wings which had several red-colored eyes, and the claws of each of his arms was sharp like blades and as pointy as spears. With his bare claws he was more than capable of ripping someone apart into shreds if he ever wanted to do so. And his crimson-red eyes shone brightly beneath the black helmet… Chaos and Abyss looked at him with contempt but didn't thought a single second more than that and decided to attack him with everything they had, they were not in the mood to let such a bastard like him to get away with boosting his power in front of their faces!
Chaos gathered his powers as he covered his entire body with cosmic energy and then decided to unleash a new Skill he had acquired, Cosmic Embodiment! Through this Skill, Chaos was able to embody and materialize all the cosmic energy within his soul and cover his body with it, resembling a being made of pure nebulas and cosmic essence, which shone brightly with the many starlight that covered his entire body. A bluish black armor emerged above his body, the materialization of this cosmic essence made into a metallic and hard element, which quickly covered the entire cosmic embodiment, turning completely into an armor! This wasn't thanks to the skill alone, but Chaos had activated his Armor-creation Skills and fused their effects together with the Skill, attaining this appearance! His helmet resembled a roaring dragon!
”I also go the same trick.” Said Chaos, a second after, he reached the Forbidden One's Ego and clashed against him, his claws slashed through his hard armor and his kicks began to break through his defenses, his movements were precise and amazingly powerful his punches, kicks, and even headbutts all combined together with the essence of cosmos and chaos, converging together into a spiral of darkness and cosmic light!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
”Guuooohhh?!” Roared the Forbidden One's Ego, completely and utterly surprised by Chaos incredible movements, he had suddenly become way better than before, and he was simply attacking physically without any fancy attacks! He was already trying out elements once more, but they were being negated by the Forbidden One's Ego's powers, which were the same powers he used back then to corner Chaos into abusing his raw strength and insane regeneration to somehow pull out a victory, although that was also thanks to Aruliel's help.
The Forbidden One's Ego didn't falter, however, although he roared in surprise and was quite overwhelmed by Chaos initial attack, he quickly began to fight back, his movements were just as precise and his body shapeshifted around sometimes, as his hands turned into sharp scythes and tried to slash through Chaos body, an other times a long tail would emerge from his back and attack Chaos with a strong whipping blow, amongst many other movements that seemed to work very well at putting Chaos into some struggles!
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!
