Nine could feel the essence coursing through his body, moving quickly and creating chaos as if searching for something within him.
He had just consumed a droplet of divine essence. However, the impact has been devastating so far. It's painful... that was the last thought in Nine's mind when his vision blurred and everything around him turned into a haze. But he dug his nails into his palms to stay conscious, because he knew that the chance Kyle gave him would be his last opportunity to gain a strength he could have never even imagined in his whole life.
Nine didn't even realize when he started to transform into his original form. He hardly ever used his tail because he just preferred having a pair of legs. Also, for some reason, he wasn't as good with it as Seraphine and his other siblings.
At first, the light around his lowered body was faint, but then it shone brightly before the sound of water around him quieted into hushed silence.
