The heat became overwhelming the instant Grey's crystal armor shattered, but that didn't stop him for even a moment.
The new shingles already beginning to reform over his skin shifted in color before they could fully settle, their internal composition changing as Grey reached into the abilities he had stolen from the Dormaji.
He had already absorbed what their strange crystalline bodies could do, but when he used that power against the bastard lying behind him with a hole through its spine, he had mostly been showing off.
He hadn't needed the armor to beat that Dormaji, he had only wanted to piss him off by copying something the bastard probably considered unique to his Race. That and reminding him that Grey got his hands on those abilities by eating his kind.
But since Veyrath wanted to play, they would play.
