An Introduction Of Chance.

Once inside the Bounded Field, he created after his complete transformation, he felt odd. He looked at his right hand which was covered in black plates of metal. The armor was created from his blood and surging with Divine Energy. 

He looked down at his claws which were curved, crimson black, and made of metal. 

He flexed his fingers and retracted them before he began to move his wrist around. His range of motion in his wrists had increased rather than decreased. 

This would be quite useful in a sword fight or any kind of fight as he could spin his hands nearly completely. He looked behind him at his large bladed wings which flexed and tensed like his own arms. 

With a thought he retracted them causing them to disappear. He then brought them back out again and unlike them coming out the process was seamless. 

"I like this."

His tails twitched separately from each other and they were rather long. Almost 7 feet long and his armor extended over them. He already knew their main ability was to draw in ambient Mana and Lunar Energy. 

However, he tensed them causing their fur to compress and the armor to flex over them. This meant he had gained three new appendages that could work as whips, or even hold weapons of their own. 

When fighting multiple foes that would help him avoid being overwhelmed. 

"Everything is different."

After the transformation, new instincts merged with him to deal with his limbs. His brain itself had been modified to handle the new limbs and to control his new body. He took a deep breath feeling his senses grow even further than they already were.

His tears twitched as he took a sense of his hearing, sense of smell, vision, his sense of touch, taste, and magical senses. They were so much more sensitive he could literally taste, the mana in the air. 

Gardenia and Yami continued to watch as he merely moved his arms, legs, neck and hands. Guardenia floated toward his face looking at the glowing red eyes. He still had his signature black sclera, just that they were full of crimson veins that pulsed from time to time. 

"Anything feel weird?"

He shook his head as he opened his hand. Shadows and Light flowed together in his hand before a new sword formed. It was a combination of Yami's power to form blades from shadows merged with Light magic infused with Divine Energy. 

It was similar to Yuuto Kiba's Demonic Holy Swords, but rather than Demonic Energy they used Cursed, Holy, Light and Dark. The blades were a dark black, but with a silver edge and it seemed to drink in light and darkness.

Yami and Guardenia observed the new blade which was stronger than any blade he had produced before. Viktor spread his legs apart before he lunged forward trying to adapt his style to his new form.

His weight was more forward centered now, but his three tails made balancing easy. His Heavenly Restriction hadn't gone away as the enhanced instincts, physical ability and enhanced senses had merely been enhanced further.

Despite his legs being far longer than his human form, his balance was impeccable. The range of motion of his shoulders was increased meaning he could make attacks he couldn't before.

He grinned which exposed his metal fangs as he spun on his heals and brought his sword down. When he stopped moving, he glanced at the Sword in his hand before he released it.

It dispersed into motes of light and shadow like all his other weapons.

"No problems in my swordsmanship at least."

Yami nodded as he had watched the whole thing. Viktor was just as good at using his swords as he had been before. Even Guardenia clapped.

"I will say, your reach, speed, and strength are so much higher that it is unfair. How is your magic?"

Viktor squinted his eyes and he began to experiment with his new Divine Energy. It was far stronger than mana, and its frequency had changed. He waved his hand and he began to weave together a simple magic circle. 

It was a Fireball, but he used Divine Energy to make it to see if it affected his spell. When he finished the spell he watched as the fireball was created, but it was so much stronger. 

The ball of fire was an ominous blackish purple as his Divine Energy had infused into the spell. He watched as the fireball exploded unleashing Cursed Holy fire in a large blast. He waved his hand and he dispersed the flames which made him happy. 

He had many more spells to test out and maybe modify since it seemed to not have many problems. However, he had to think of something else, another use of Shadows and Light that he could control with ease. 

He raised his hands causing the shadows to rise into the air. With an infusion of Divine Energy, the Shadow changed shape into that of a large wolf with large wings. It wasn't a real wolf, but rather he could not construct constructs out of shadows. 

He observed the shadow construct before he waved his left hand and he shaped the Light into a wolf-shaped construct as well. He could see much use in this ability. 

"I have so much to learn. Just like you two have to get used to this new state. New problem though, how to we explain you?" 

He pointed at Yami who had turned into a wolf as it would be harder than his old dog form. With a smile, Yami turned into shadows before he reverted into his original form. 

"Never mind." 

Viktor focused on himself and he rapidly began to shrink. His armor began to turn back into blood which flowed back into his body. His muscles and bones began to squeeze down as his massive form shrunk back into his human self. 

When the process was done, looked down at himself and saw that he was naked. 

"That going be a problem." 

Guardenia glanced down at his member and gave him a thumbs up. 

"Nice cock." 

He chuckled as he checked himself out. He was taller that was for sure about 2 inches taller meaning he was now 6'7. As he looked at his body, he found that he was much more muscular. 

His skin was impossibly tough meaning it would take quite a bit of effort to damage him. Of course, he wasn't Superman tough, but that could change in time. 

"I think I have an overview on things now." 

He reached into his shadow and he pulled out some clothes. He began to get dressed which were a bit tight, but he could just enchant them to change size with him. Enchanting was very useful not just for protecting your home and making weapons, it also made clothing more convenient. 

He waved his hand and he brought down the Bounded Field before making his way toward his house. When he stepped inside, he didn't see Lorna as he told her to take the day off. He smelled the air and he found her in her room sleeping. 

He shook his head as he also made his way to his room. He would need time to adapt to all the changes, but today he just wanted to take it easy. After a massive transformation like that, he deserved to take it easy.

The days following Viktor's transformation were filled with constant training. He had to modify his magics to handle the more potent Divine Energy that fueled them. He had to modify his swordsmanship to deal with increased flexibility, size, and range as a werewolf. 

In human form, the change was also similar as he could rotate his wrists further, extend his claws on command, and transform when he desired. At the same time, Iris finally released her article on her interview with Balerion.

She titled it, Central City's Knight and she spoke of her encounter with Central City's enigmatic nighttime protector. She left some things out, but for the most part, the article was honest to what he told her. 

It exploded in popularity, on the internet and more people became curious about Balerion. Of course, some people tried to discredit Iris because some people didn't believe she had a meeting with Knight as people still wanted to call him. 

They said that the name Balerion was fake and she made it up for attention. Iris defended her article fiercely as it was all true, but without Knight to show up for it, she didn't have much proof. 

---

Currently, Iris was sitting in her living room with an angry expression on her face. She knew this could happen, but she didn't think it be this tricky. Barry glanced at her as some other reporters were adamant she was a liar. 

"Damn it, this is why I wanted a picture, but I was so caught up I didn't get one. What am I going to do?" 

Barry cleared his voice as he asked her something. 

"Have you gotten any more letters?" 

Iris shook her head.

"Nothing, after talking to Balerion, nothing. It's just so grating." 

At that moment they heard the doorbell ring. Then they heard what sounded like a dog scratching at the door. Iris jumped up before running to the door and opening it. Standing at the door was exactly who she was hoping to see. 

Hound, or Yami was currently in his dog form for ease of travel. Yami stepped right into the house which made Iris close the door. She followed the large dog before introducing him to Barry. 

"Barry, this is Hound. He is the dog that sent me the letter." 

Barry reached out with his hand and began to pet Yami who closed his eyes. 

"So, this is the famous dog the criminals fear? He is cute, though what he can do isn't." 

Yami's ears dropped as he stepped back. He dug his head into his shadow before he pulled out two letters. One he handed to Iris who opened it up and one to Barry. When Iris opened the letter, she began to read it out loud. 

"Miss West, I have read your article and I can see it caused problems not to have a photo of me. To fix this, I would like to invite you for another interview, your husband is welcome of course. You can take a photo of me for everynce. Consider it a gift, sincerely Balerion. Same place as last time, Central City Park to tonight at midnight." 

After reading it she held it out expecting it to explode, but it didn't. She sighed in relief, but at that moment it burst into flames. 

"DAMN IT! I fell for it again, you hear that all Barry?" 

Barry nodded as he looked at Yami who had just dug his head into his shadow to get the letters. 

"Yeah, I heard. How does that work." 

He leaned closer as he studied Yami who was quite friendly to most people. He then opened his own letter which he read out loud. 

"Barry Allen also known as The Flash, you have no magical protections against scrying magic and I would like to offer you some help. When you and Iris arrive at our next interview, I am willing to enchant your Flash suit to increase its ability to hide your identity. 

It will also make it more comfortable and all around better. Consider it a gift from a fellow Hero to keep the people of Central City safe."

Barry thought about it as Zatana and Doctor Fate had never offered to enchant his suit. He also had never asked before a she didn't think about it, but would that be possible. He would really need to give them a call some time to ask about why they never offered. 

Iris glanced over at Barry's letter which also exploded into flames. Seeing that made Barry shake his head. Iris kneeled down and ran her hand down Yami's head. 

"Thank you." 

Yami licked her on the face before he jumped into his shadow. When he was gone, Barry was really curious how that worked. He bent down and touched the shadow Yami jumped into and felt just floor. 

"Magic is so weird. So, we are going?" 

Iris nodded. 

"Another interview and a photo this time will shut up all my doubters. That promotion is mine Barry. Plus, you get to meet Balerion in person." 

Barry agreed as that was a big thing. 

"Since he wants to join The League I will have a talk with him. I will see what he is like. Knowing Bruce, he wouldn't be this amanable." 

That was true, as Bruce hated other heroes in Gotham. He was territorial for some reason which is why the League left him alone for the most part. Even if he really needed the help.
