"MORE! MORE!" Hikaru screamed like a maniac.
With inhuman strength, he lunged at Akies, grabbed his head, and smashed it into the ground. The earth beneath them collapsed, creating a huge crater.
Akies immediately transformed – his body was covered in hard scales, and additional blades sprouted from his spine. Then, red projectiles began to shoot from his eyes, sharply blasting Hikaru backward.
Hikaru landed a distance away but was already getting back on his feet. His entire body was covered in blood, some parts of his flesh were literally torn apart, but even so, he had a smile on his face.
"HAHAHA! THAT'S WHAT I LIKE!"
The monster's body didn't look any better. Several of its eyes were crushed, and marks from Hikaru's fists were visible all over its body.
A freezing wind began to form around Hikaru. The ground was freezing under his feet, and his hands were completely covered in layers of ice as thick as steel.
