Alister faced the Emperor, his long black coat swaying.
Slowly, a wave of heat began to rise from his body.
A golden glow sparked around him, then erupted, enveloping his body in a radiant, pulsating aura that seemed to drink in the dungeon's crimson mana.
His form began to change, growing larger, muscles rippling as white, black, and gold scales surged across his skin, encasing him in a draconic carapace that pulsed with energy.
Horns sprouted, curving upward with golden edges that gleamed like molten gold.
Massive wings tore from his back, their golden membranes thrumming, drawing faint wisps of the red mist into their folds.
His teeth sharpened, tusk-like fangs glinting, and his eyes narrowed into glowing, golden slits.
A strange, spiky halo appeared above his head.
This was his new combat form.
