Atticus' eyes rose, locking onto Elderish, who had suddenly appeared in the distance, surging toward him at high speed.
Atticus could instantly feel it.
'His aura is more powerful too.' he thought.
Elderish's aura towered over everything, including him. Atticus felt as though he was carrying multiple times his weight. And not only that…
'He transformed.'
In the two times Atticus had met Elderish, he didn't look like his usual self. He still appeared humanoid, but his distinct trait had completely changed.
He took on the different traits of the different races of Eldoralth.
'Lucendi, Requiem, Transmutari, Demon, Elves, Dwarves, Regenerari, and Evolari.'
Atticus listed all the race cores he believed Elderish had currently bonded with in his head.
Elderish currently had the hard skin of the Demon, the eyes of the Elves, and the faint presence of the Requiem.
But Atticus' gaze only flashed. Without hesitation, he dug deep into his memories, recalling every single thing he knew about each of the races, their fighting styles, their weaknesses… everything.
But he wasn't given even a moment to think.
The sound of air tearing stopped as Elderish reached him. Then, his maw abruptly opened, whips of smoke rising from it, a golden light shining.
And then he roared, unleashing a surge of world-ending fire that turned the entire earth below crimson.
Its heat was searing, so hot that sand turned to glass from many kilometers away.
Atticus' gaze narrowed.
'He can use the power of dragons?'
He had bonded with the Dragon core, not Elderish. But Elderish had just used a power of the Dragon race.
'He's still an Eldorian…'
The realization hit him. Atticus had no idea how he had survived this long. But Elderish was still an Eldorian, and thus, had all the powers of the races.
'This just got harder.'
Atticus' expression turned serious as the fire breath approached him.
However, currently, in the entirety of Eldoralth, the last person anyone should attack with fire, was Atticus.
The breath of fire reached him…
Whoosh!
Just as they were about to touch him, they vanished into thin air, disappearing as though they never existed.
Atticus didn't waste even a single nanosecond. He leaned forward slightly before he moved.
He erased the distance between them in an instant, two words rolling off his mouth.
"Void Rend."
A pulse of deep brown exploded from Atticus, crashing into Elderish with crushing force.
The mana in the area became dormant. Still. All attempts to reach it were rendered useless.
With a single move, Atticus had rendered the power of all the races Elderish currently possessed momentarily obsolete.
It was not a moment he would miss.
"Fusion."
Atticus' form ignited in an intense dark crimson. His body shifted, twisting, reshaping, as fire, water, air, and earth collided violently within him.
His skin glowed with molten veins, wind howled from his limbs, his muscles pulsed like waves crashing on a shore, and dust cracked off him like brittle stone.
