Kai blinked.

His Skill wanted him to... fight that thing?

Kai swallowed nervously.

The only reason he had killed it in the first place was by knocking the cradle of flames onto it, he hadn't even fought it properly.

And now, he had to fight it head-on, a monster that was much stronger than him.

Then again, it wasn't often that he fought something that wasn't a much higher level than him.

Looking back at the snake, Kai realised that it wasn't moving. It was like it was waiting for him to make the first move.

Which was a good thing, as Kai had noticed something that was kind of odd.

It was still another day or two before he finally returned to full strength, so why did he already feel so strong?

Looking down, Kai-

Saw that his once lustrous silver armour had turned pitch black, like it had been swallowed up and spat back out by the shadows. His boots were the same, and the necklace he had around his neck was too.

Then Kai realised.

Everything he had turned into some sort of strange shadow of their original form in here.

And just like all of his items, his stats had returned to normal. As had his soul and the timer for the cooldown of Ignition.

So in this place I can do anything I want and go all out. That's... actually pretty good.

Maybe if he used all of his boosting skills, equipped all of his items, and then made use of Ezekial's stored soul then maybe he would have some sort of chance at killing the beast.

So, after taking a deep breath, Kai done just that.

His bodysuit, which was on Cecilia's body in reality, manifested under his armour, that item also being pitch black in this strange space.

Esurient manifested in Kai's hand, only just like everything else here, the Ruby blade was now pitch black. Kai couldn't even communicate with it, it was just a pure black blade, something that looked like it had been forged from shadows.

Soul Flame wrapped around his body, boosting all of his stats by 46.

Kai was a little disappointed that the stats were only boosted by that amount, considering he had gotten a skill that boosted his Soul Mana Affinity. However, he couldn't help but notice that the flames almost seemed... brighter?

Ignition activated, doubling all of his stats.

And finally, Kai activated Pitch Perfect, making all of his stats perfectly equal.

Kai sighed.

Due to the fact that there would be no repercussions from fighting in here, he also activated Mana Surge, boosting his body even more.

His muscles throbbed, his mind working overdrive to formulate a way to win against the Winter Serpent.

This would be the third Evolved being that he would fight, and the first one that wasn't an abomination.

So, to be honest, Kai was a little excited to see how it would go.

Taking a deep breath, Kai decided to go all out with his opening attack. Lifting his arm, he pointed the tip of Esurient at the shadow beast in front of him.

Then, he activated Ezekial's stored soul.

Instantly, it was like something had switched in his body. Before, he was definitely right handed. In fact, he was so right handed that he could do barely anything with his left hand.
