Darius staggered, blood pouring from his mouth. The spear in his hand was broken, the blade shattered beyond recognition. His breathing was labored, but his eyes still burned with desperate determination.
"I... can still fight," he whispered, his hands trembling with pain.
Slowly, he rose to his feet, his body covered in wounds, but his roar echoed throughout the battlefield:
"I WILL KILL YOU, NIEL!!!"
Suddenly, Darius thrust the remains of his spear straight through his own heart.
ZRAAAAAKKKK!!!
Lightning struck from the sky, enveloping his body. A scream of pain mixed with wild power exploded from his chest. Blinding blue light engulfed the field, causing the ground around him to crack.
From within the lightning storm, Darius's body began to transform. His muscles bulged, veins glowed electric blue, and his eyes became two orbs of light. The broken spear fused with his body, transforming into a branching arm of lightning that radiated destructive energy.
