Upon its transition, the flames of Amaterasu gradually shifted from its natural golden color to dark vibrant purple.
The hue deepening and richening as it transformed.
The color mutated, the hue pulsating with energy as it transformed from a dull, muted tone.
Dozens of Furies were incinerated by its ferocious flames.
It's radiating brightness shimmered across the land.
Even the Villages from the other tribes could see the flickering light from the distance.
It's presence cause Ramposa to halt its movements.
Craig slowly mounted down from his horse, still staring at his demonic beast. Every sound it's flaps made caused waves of shock.
The shockwaves contained radiations which destroyed Furies from afar.
Craig exhaled a sigh.
He stepped back, stunned by the bodiless head tossed over to him. He lifted his head, facing the direction of the enraged Ramposa.
Ramposa emerged into the scene, her brows furrowed.
Glaring at Craig from where she stood.
"Hey Ramposa….what's up?" Craig asked.
"Master….who is he?" Ramposa questioned, she raised her right hand. Pointing at the direction of Amaterasu.
Craig giggled, he careesed his hair gently.
"His name is Amaterasu and he's your new brother, if you are worried about him replacing you"
"You shouldn't be" Craig said.
Ramposa shrugged her shoulders, she folded her arms. Still frowning at her master.
Just then Craig was attacked by Furies.
Two dozen of them charged against him, aiming to jump him in unison but Craig sent them flying.
This is the first time he will be physically fighting.
He ripped a Fury apart, it's bloods splattered on his cloth but he didn't care. Craig without hesitation attacked the rest.
He had leveled his stats, increasing his physical strength.
Ramposa watched with her arms folded.
She chose not to intervene due to her anger but she knew her master was not weak, killing this furies is like child's play to him.
And he proved her right.
Craig chuckled, his body glowed fervently, revealing the dark purple light emanating from his core.
This is his Starlight color signature.
The color purple.
Craig sprinted, charging into the horde. Bodies were thrown apart, enjoying the feelings of ripping bodies apart.
During this chaotic showdown, Craig realized his limits.
He was jumped by over ninety Furies at a time, he was beaten in every direction as they overwhelmed him with their numbers.
They released their venoms into his flesh, aiming to imobilize him.
Craig watched, while resisting.
[Notice...]
[You have been poisoned by the venoms of Furies]
[Your immortal cells have been activated]
[You have awakened a new sub authority: Poison Nullification]
A lopsided grin escaped the lips of Craig.
Watching the report of the system, he giggled softly.
"Immortal cells huh? So I awakened a new sub authority after being poisoned by the venoms of this furies"
"I guess they helped me achieved something today"
Craig chuckled.
He clenched his fist, he could feel his Starlight Energy flowing through his fist, a single punch to the ground generated waves of shock.
The pressure sent everyone of the Furies flying.
Craig's eyes flickered.
The injuries inflicted on him already healed him.
A black card appeared on his hand, seconds later.
The black card vanished into the nothingness.
[Notice...]
[A Black Card has been used]
[Activating your Authority: Father of the Night]
[Sub Authority in use: Shadow Crawler]
Violent waves of shock erupted, with dusts scattered across the scene. Craig stood unfazed by the storm.
The ground shook vigorously, it's fervent vibrating caused the earth to quake.
Whispers of the dead were evident.
All Ramposa could do was watch in awe. This is the first time she would see her master truly use his powers.
Craig's face fell, a deep frown caressing his brow as his eyes clouded over. A scowl twisted his features, his lips pursed and his forehead furrowed.
His expression turned stern, a disapproving frown etched on his face.
He slowly stretched forth his hand, the intense mist darkened.
And a snap of his fingers was all it took.
Manifestations of shadows crept out of the quaked earth, shadowed humaniods void of concepts.
Embodiments of the Demon Lord's orders.
There were hundreds of them, no…..
Thousands of them.
"Kill them"
Those calm words of Craig stirred up the tension in the air, the shadowed embodiments scattered across the scene.
Screeches filled the air.
Within a few minutes, everything came to an abrupt end.
The Demon Lord Zephyr had laid waste to the wave of Furies without even breaking a sweat.
He breath in the fresh air.
The cold wind brushed his face, his hair was whipped by the cold swirling waves.
Craig took a deep breath, he cleaned up the bloods stained on his face. He spat on the ground.
Facing the countless bodies of Furies.
The shadow crawlers were still evident.
"Go away!"
Craig commanded and they vanished without hesitation, Craig tilted his gaze. Stunned to see Ramposa kneeling before him.
"Ramposa?" He voiced out.
"Master, I knew you were a strong being trying to hide his powers but to think you were this strong?"
"I'm proud to be your servant" Ramposa spoke out. She had her head bowing before Craig.
Amaterasu landed on the right shoulder of Craig.
It's body shimmered when it flew into the air, flapping its wings above Craig.
Amaterasu descended down from the sky at a rapid pace, making its landing on the ground.
It gained control of its form, manifesting itself as an humaniod.
Craig's eyes widened in awe.
"Greetings Master" the voice of Amaterasu echoed, while Ramposa took the form of a teenage girl.
Amaterasu also took the form of a teenager. Orange haired with stripes of purple hue on display.
His eyes shimmered of golden lights.
"Amaterasu? You as well? How were you able to transform like this?" Craig asked.
"I'm a spiritual beast. We stay in our animalistic form until we are contracted to a certain entity"
"If we are stronger than this entity. He will be transformed into us and serve under us as well"
"The same goes to the stronger one" Amaterasu answered.
Craig careesed his jaw.
"Hmmmm….."
"So it's because I'm your tamer, that's why you have this humaniod forms right?" Craig asked.
Amaterasu nodded positively.
"That's correct, and it's because of your demonic essence that we were corrupted into being a demonic beast"
"You named me Amaterasu…..this will be my name until the end of my life"
Amaterasu stated.
Craig careesed his hair, there's no need for him to think deeply about everything. He just have to accept it.
"Well this is a good turn of event, more helping hands for me as well"
"So that means I will be sharing this corpses between you and Ramposa right?" Craig asked.
"No master" Amaterasu answered.
"Huh? Why is that?" Craig curiously asked.
"Well I may be a demonic beast but I'm not a beast within the predator line. Ramposa here is the Mother of Ant"
Amaterasu said, he pointed at Ramposa who shrugged her shoulders and he continued.
"She's of the predator bloodline so she needs to eat to be fully powered but I'm different"
"I don't need to eat flesh but I still do need to consume something else"
Amaterasu said.
"Oh? And what may that be?" Craig asked.
"That would be Starlight stones. They contain the nutrients which will help me grow stronger since my powers are being restricted"
"I'm bound to you, as you level up….my restrictions will also be lifted"
Amaterasu said.
Craig careesed his hair, he returned his gaze back to Ramposa who's seen glaring at Craig.
Craig giggled.
"There's no need for you to remind me something I already know. Starlight stones are rare resources but they can be found in the Great Forest of Nahumbai"
"So you have to wait until we get there, meanwhile Ramposa"
"It's time for you to feast"
Craig stated.
His head swiveled, his chin dripping toward his shoulder. His brows furrowed, his pupils dilated.
The stench was horrible and before him existed the heaps of corpses piled together.
Heading out of the scene, all that remained was the shadows of the Demon Lord.
Just then the crimsoned virtual panel spawned into reality.
It's crimsoned hue flickered evidently.
