Skullius' first thought while facing the piling anxiety and tension was to turn to the thing that had saved him the last time he had been in such a situation..
The Fruit of World Myths!
He had made the decision to not use it often because it usually left him paralysed from exhaustion but this was a do or die situation that demanded that he make the tough decision against the many odds!
A burst of energy surged from his centre as what was merely a consciousness staring up against the silvery outline of a Mountain Sage Monkey, became a dark humanoid being that brimmed with dark power!
The familiar image manifested on Skullius as he took up the figure of a human shaped body with ever rising wisps of darkness!
He felt his consciousness and skill get empowered as he glared at his opponent, rejoicing that his strategy was working and also at the prospect that his enemy, was now wearing a bewildered frown!
