Chapter 209: Transformation
"Hello!" The voice that had gripped Damien's shoulder rang out with chilling satisfaction.
Before Damien could even react, he was yanked violently downward, the force slamming him into the unforgiving ground. The impact was brutal, his head connecting with the earth with a sickening thud, momentarily blinding him with pain.
Despite the disorientation, Damien's instincts kicked into overdrive. His hands groped blindly across the ground, seeking purchase, searching for any advantage he could seize. Through the haze of pain, he could sense the movements of his assailant, their presence a looming threat in the darkness.
With a surge of determination, Damien pushed himself upright, his muscles protesting with every movement. His vision slowly cleared, revealing the figure standing before him— the same individual who had been behind him mere moments ago.
Confusion clouded Damien's mind as he struggled to comprehend the mysterious tactics of his opponent. The Dhampirs were proving to be more cunning and elusive than he had anticipated, their ability to manipulate their appearance itself a formidable weapon in their arsenal.
As Damien turned to confront the woman who had initially appeared to be his adversary, his senses were once again thrown into disarray. Behind him, stood another Dhampir.
With annoyance, Damien squared his shoulders, his gaze darting between the two Dhampirs before him.
"Your tricks won't save you," Damien declared, his voice laced with a steely determination. "I'll see to it that you both pay for your deceit."
The Dhampirs remained silent, their expressions unreadable as they prepared to resume their assault. But Damien was undeterred, his every fiber ablaze with a burning desire for victory.
With Rose's safety hanging in the balance, he would stop at nothing to emerge triumphant against the cunning and relentless foes that stood before him.
"ENOUGH!! Do you know who I am?!!!" he bellowed, his voice reverberating across the battlefield like a thunderclap.
With every fiber of his being aflame with anger, he charged headlong into the fray, his eyes fixed squarely on the Dhampirs who had dared to challenge him.
Despite the little cuts on his face and the bruises littering his body that were healing up in real time. With each blow exchanged, he taunted his opponent, his voice laced with defiance and rage.
"I'm quite disappointed," Damien growled, his eyes blazing with fury. "I thought you were stronger than this!"
The Dhampir, however, remained silent, a sinister smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Unbeknownst to him, Damien was willingly allowing himself to absorb the punishment, his skin growing tougher and more resilient with each passing blow.
But then, as if sensing a shift in the air, Damien's body began to glow from within, a radiant light pulsating from his very core. The sudden transformation drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield, including the Dhampirs themselves, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief.
"No way!" one bystander exclaimed, his voice filled with awe.
"He's not turning about to do what I think he is, right?"
"I thought that technique was lost to time," another murmured, his eyes wide with astonishment.
In a breathtaking display of power, Damien began to levitate off the ground, his legs dangling above the earth as if defying gravity itself. His eyes remained closed, his expression serene yet imbued with an undeniable aura of power.
"He's turning into..."
