Selphira retreated, surprised by Kharzan’s sudden release of power, but was already preparing her next attack.
On the ground, Valdris’s body lay motionless, having paid the final price for decades of unwavering loyalty.
Kharzan’s roars of pain over Valdris’s death resonated across the battlefield, but something deeper was happening. Pure emotion, unfiltered rage, had broken not only the ice chains, but also the last barriers he maintained between himself and abyssal power.
The transformation was more complete than anything he had experienced before, not just physical enhancement, but the absolute abandonment of everything that had once made him think as a human.
Kharzan let himself go completely.
He allowed the beasts to take his body, fusing at a level that transcended simple symbiosis. His form reconfigured, muscles and bones flowing like malleable clay while six creatures became a single perfectly integrated entity.
The process was beautiful and horrifying to witness.
He was so merged with abyssal power that he even managed to feel something that should have been impossible at this distance.
The crystal’s voices.
"New child of the abyss controlled by the stasis strings," they whispered in his mind, arriving from kilometers away like echoes from a deep cavern. "You can hear us..."
The connection was startling in its clarity.
Kharzan stopped for a moment, surprised by the clarity of communication with voices he had heard completely unintelligibly only once before. The Grand Crystal, which should have been too far away to be heard on this side of the kingdom, had somehow established direct connection with him.
"Let us see through your eyes," the voices continued, and Kharzan felt a strange presence exploring his perception.
Through his multiple eyes, the crystal observed Selphira, analyzing every nuance of her power, every energy pattern that emanated from her. The inspection was thorough, like a scholar studying a particularly interesting specimen.
"Interesting... She has purifying power... it’s weak, but strange," the voices murmured with something that sounded like concern. "Could this be the one who has stolen the parts that the light core needed?"
Kharzan didn’t completely understand what they were talking about, but he could feel the evaluation the crystal was making.
"In the end it doesn’t matter," the voices concluded with cold indifference. "If the parts aren’t together with the correct method, they’ll never reach their maximum expression. But this woman... could be a future problem."
The crystal’s attention then focused on the battle developing around Kharzan.
"As our child of the abyss fights against the possible usurper. It would be better to eliminate her if possible."
And then Kharzan felt how something massive and ancient directed its enormous capacity toward him.
Power flowed through the abyssal connection like a cascade of purple energy. It wasn’t just raw power; it was control, precision, crystallized knowledge being transferred directly to his fused form.

Kharzan began moving as if the mutated body had been his from birth.
Where before he had been somewhat clumsy with his new hybrid form, now every movement had lethal grace that defied his monstrous appearance. His many extremities coordinated perfectly, and his agility increased to levels that made Selphira blink with surprise.
"What...?" She murmured, immediately noticing the change.
Her centuries of experience told her that what she was witnessing shouldn’t be possible.
Kharzan smiled with all his mouths simultaneously.
The expression was more unsettling than any battle roar.
Selphira responded with her new spear, executing that technique she had perfected during decades of combat. The ice spear moved as if it were alive, creating attack patterns that should have been impossible to predict or dodge.
Each movement was a masterwork of martial artistry, the culmination of centuries spent perfecting the deadly dance of close combat.
But Kharzan blocked them all.
His form contorted in ways that violated normal anatomy, dodging by centimeters while counterattacking with combinations that forced Selphira to retreat step by step.
"Impossible!" Selphira panted, blocking a claw that would have decapitated any other opponent. "Your control shouldn’t be so..."
"Precise?" A combination of voices within Kharzan completed the sentence while his scorpion tail sought an attack angle that Selphira barely managed to avoid. "Surrender, old usurper."
"Your technique is impressive," ’Kharzan’ admitted while his attacks forced Selphira to retreat even more.
"But four centuries of life are nothing compared to millennia."
