Pelion glanced at Floren, irritation flickering across his face before it twisted into a grin.
"Floren, do you know what I like about arenas like this?"
His fingers twitched as he pointed at him. "It's because someone like you…"
He covered his face, laughing. "Everyone walks in thinking they're special, unique and talented, but suddenly…"
He snapped his fingers.
The arena shuddered violently as his demonic mana erupted outward.
His body began to warp and distort, bones cracking and reshaping as he transformed into something monstrous, a perfect chimera.
Even as the transformation continued, he managed to let out a breathless laugh. "They realize… they're just part of my joke."
Wings burst from his back in a violent spray, his limbs twisting into talons.
His head shifted grotesquely, reforming into that of a bird.
Then, as if that weren't enough, black-violet flames engulfed his entire body, writhing and suffocating the air around him.
