The figure turned fully toward him. The contorted and swollen face Myles remembered no longer existed. In its place sat a calm expression and a faint smile. Sharp lines defined its features now. The structure looked closer to a normal human face, refined, as if something had carved away all excess.
Myles felt certain of it. This monster had undergone a horrifying evolution.
The creature chuckled and rose to its feet in one smooth motion. The speed caught Myles off guard and forced him to flinch half a step back.
"You came at the perfect time," the monster said.
Its body had changed completely. The bloated blue flesh vanished. A lean, black form stood before him with muscles tight and controlled. It flexed its fingers slowly as if testing each movement and savoring the sensation.
"Hm… this feels very nice," it muttered. "I'll use you to test my new power."
"What happened to you?" Myles asked, keeping his voice steady.
