SSS Ranked Shadow Monarch: Summoning Infinite Shadows-Chapter 179: Transformation

The man forcefully came to a stop, he looked up in anger and rage, wanting to attack, only to be met with the combined lava breath of all seven heads of the Hydra.

In panick, he lifted his umbrella as the massive blast of lava slammed into it. It was so powerful that he was pushed back, skidding along the hard ground while immense heat managed to sear his skin without even touching him.

When the attack ended, he stood there, steaming like a boiled potato, head down, hands barely holding him up.

Aren looked away from him and back to the group. "If your belief was that somehow this idiot would save you, then better get rid of it and eliminate yourselves before I kill you."

Understanding the situation, all of them immediately willed it and their crystals shattered, meaning they had failed the tournament. They were immediately teleported away from there, their lives were more important.

The man with the umbrella saw how they eliminated themselves and anger filled him. He looked at Aren with eyes full of malice and hate.

"You are despicable," he said in anger and then swung his umbrella. "I never wished to go all out against you, but you have forced my hand."

"Bro, give up already," Aren said, and before the man could even activate whatever it was that he wanted to, the Hydra attacked with an even more powerful blast. The man was forced to block again and this time was sent flying backward.

Aren finally got up and walked toward the man. He struggled back to his feet, eyes burning with anger. Seeing Aren standing right there, he lunged forward and tried to activate his umbrella, only to realize that the umbrella was heavily damaged from the lava. He looked at his special weapon in shock.

"Hmmm, so it isn’t a soul weapon. I guess not everyone can have a soul weapon," Aren said before kicking the man right in the chest. He slammed into the ground hard and rolled before getting to his knees. He wiped the blood from his face.

"You think I don’t have a soul weapon? I’ll show you," he said and suddenly took up a bracelet that had an eye on it.

Aren stared at this bracelet and for some reason, it unsettled him. It gave off a very eerie aura.

The man snapped the bracelet to his wrist and instantly, sharp spikes shot from it and into his arm, drawing massive amounts of blood.

"Arghhhhhhh!" The man screamed in pain and agony, his veins bulged and turned purple, becoming the size of pencils. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

He grabbed his arm in pure agony. "Arghhhhhhh, arghhhhhhh!" He screamed even more, thrashing around as his eyes were forced open. They bulged, a black liquid poured from his eyes and then the entire eye turned black.

Aren took a step back. Whatever was happening here was definitely not the normal effect of a soul weapon. Not long after, the screaming stopped, but he was no longer normal. His entire right arm was now a massive muscular black arm with purple veins.

The purple veins then spread throughout the entire body, and even the face was covered in them. He looked lifeless, like there was no soul behind those black eyes.

"What have you done to yourself?" Aren asked.

"He must awaken, the master must awaken," the man suddenly said, his voice sounding like there were more than four people behind it.

Before Aren could respond to what was being said, the man lunged forward with an explosive force that caused the ground to explode. He lunged at Aren and punched so fast it broke the sound barrier.

Aren reacted fast, summoning wolf guard and crossing his arms.

BAM!

The punch collided with Aren’s arms and he was thrown back so fast he slammed through several walls, breaking through more and more.

The Hydra, seeing its master thrown back, immediately unleashed a powerful breath of lava. The man threw a punch to counter.

BOOM

Lava met with fist. The man was getting pushed back, but that arm managed to block the lava and keep him alive.

When the attack ended, he lunged forward and into the air, punching at the Hydra. The fist slammed into one of the heads of the Hydra and obliterated it. He landed on the ground, believing he had done some good damage.

As he looked up, he saw the Hydra regrow its head and then grow a second one. Immediately the Hydra unleashed another attack. The man, knowing that he couldn’t tank eight heads, leaped into the air. The lava slammed into the ground below.

The man thought he was safe there, only for something to attack him mid-air, slamming into him so hard that he was thrown into multiple buildings.

It was Aren riding Fang. Aren came down from Fang and walked in the direction of the man. The man rose from the rubble, he looked at Aren walking toward him. "The master must be awakened," he said and then lunged forward to attack Aren, but Fang attacked as well, unleashing a massive flame and lightning attack.

The man stopped and blocked the attack, getting pushed back again. The Hydra also attacked, the lava slamming into the man.

This was too much for the man to tank. Heavy burns started showing on the arm, he was getting pushed back even more, steam exploding from his body.

When the attack finally ended, half the man’s body was burnt, his insides showing badly, yet he was still alive. Normally, such injuries meant certain death. He looked at Aren again. "The master must be awakened," he said and then turned around, starting to run away.

"Oh, no you don’t," Aren said, and attacked with tendrils. They latched onto the man and began pulling him back, but then the man grabbed every tendril with that black arm and in one powerful yank he snapped them all and then blasted forward so fast he shattered the sound barrier.
