95 Callous Metamorphosis, Again (2/2)
╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝
”22/22? I remembered having only four pre-unlocked skill set earlier...” Jaiden interrogated himself of the new sight... but while he was still doing so, the changes will now once again... bombard his body, but even more so, elevated.

Then there's this glitch that disrupted all of the displayed overlay and then, complete silence, inside of his dark orb, except Azazel's unseen processor in optimum performance...
”The fool ... The tower ... The moon ... The wheel of Fortune ....The temperance ...The Chariot ................”
The AI Maiden, Azazel started to exclaim the list of the skill sets, but what was stygian is that, in the list, the locked was also appearing and it's all being executed hastily even without Jaiden's approval...

... 1 Year of lifespan

And then, physical pain, such that he has never felt before. His insignia in his hand began to react as it sensed its host, using his Paradigm Shift above its limit... It suddenly glimmered in this bleak illumination while continuously giving off this dark flames that's scorching him as if he's in the capital of hell ar has been buried alive in 5000 degrees celsius...
The three Celtic crosses, the so-called 'CrossAnge Arsenal' which is Jaiden's exclusive weapon while in the Shift also reappeared, but even darker and more glassy than before, and even heavier to carry via psychokinesis.
Jaiden could do nothing to alleviate the gradually unbecoming pain. He just gnashed his teeth as a waterfall of sweats ran down his face, while also tying his full capacity to maintain the deadpan and sober look, failing to some extent as hiding the pain is just plain impossible... He just clicked his tongue, making it bleed while holding his chest very tightly as if he feels his heart is gonna fall out.
”T..,TSSK...”
And then, the sensation of a vacuum sucking something out from him starts to present itself again, but this time, stronger and even more potent, as if it can also suck his whole memories in a blink of an eye. But, that was not the intention of his Paradigm... The intention is to make him powerful enough to once again outmaneuver an established law as it was from the very beginning...
Only, along with that single intention, Jaiden's hair also starts to even grow even longer, while its blackness completely departed, being replaced with this silver-colored hair, as if the moon's radiance has found a way to embody her endearing light to the man himself... His Feudal Overlord clothes also begin to once again give off this dark aura that's never been seen before, as if he is the evilest existence in the universe at the current eon... And instead of his nails just going black, his whole hands, as if both were burned turned into that same color making his nails and his fingers indistinguishable.
His eyes are also now turning slowly alike to that fallen deity that summoned Atlas... His scleras became bright black, and his irises in the form of the eclipse... but this time, his vision, suddenly became blurry to a certain degree...
His lips also turned quite red, with highly saturated shades of black while his skin, slowly turned paler and staler than before as if he's a living dead, whose not into just any mundane brains.
But, in all of that pavilion of changes, unlike his very first Paradigm Shift which was still under the limit... The pain never relinquished. The vacuum-like sensation. The obscure vision. The feeling of his mind being crushed to tiny bits and his entrails falling off even without means, never subsided, making him discharge a pool of blood, which is more than what his body should have, all still while being inside this little dark orb where all of the charges incurred, allowing him to take the metamorphoses without anyone seeing those superfluous agonizing expressions of his.
”It just said, a year minus in the life span... I never knew there are some additions such as this. I wish that the Re: Characterization process could have had been more specific.” Jaiden exclaimed, while slowly being able to bare the subsisting pang which has no plans of leaving in the recent.
”Master... Are you okay?”
”I-'ll leave that for your algorithms to decide...”
”So, this is what it feels like huh. Now... I have an impending duel of which I must finish.” The Herrscher added, as a constant flow of power endlessly enter him, while his life is also being constantly sucked little by little, spelling even the most abominable physical pain that he has to endure and hide as the duel continues...
Then, without thinking too deeply as his mind hurts as if a bulldozer is atop it, he broke the orb he is in, with a slash of his hand, like it was mere glass when it was an actually an impenetrable defense mechanism...
His regurgitated blood was then the first to gush out, and he followed, trending his black-shiny shoe mid-air towards the coliseum ground once again, but now in this authoritative and more scoffing appearance with a dark aura that's rather endless even filling the whole coliseum with it which is now on par with the patriarch's realm's background...
