The armor and sword that Sol possessed responded to his own emotions. Whenever he wanted light, light would be created, whenever he wanted to slash, he would be able to slash… However, when they faced a strength that even shattered them into pieces, and that brought their owner to their deaths, they could only respond with the last remaining emotions he held.
Rage, absolute and pure maddening anger.
Reacting to this emotion, and also with the desire to protect their master, the sword and the armor melted to their most primary elemental form and merged with their dying master, seconds before he were to pass out.
Mixing his flesh and internal organs with the hot, molten metal of the armor and the sword, and quickly transforming and embodying his true emotions, his true self, a monster.
Despite how much he tried to make himself "the good guy" or the "one in the right moral high ground", Sol's thoughts, actions, and beliefs made him an ultimate monster.
And so, a monster he became.
"GRAAAARRRGGHHH…!"
With a loud, metallic, and monstrous scream, his new body was formed. Huge, above thirty meters of height. With gigantic and muscular arms mixing flesh and metal, a grotesque head made of metal with countless sharp teeth, and two huge red eyes on his chest.
Metallic red and orange skin, with patches of red skin and countless of black and red spikes of metal growing across his body, which held a slight humanoid shape, yet looked utterly abhorrent compared to his normal appearance.
Ding!
[The [Hero of Sunlight: Sol] Unique Skills have reacted to his emotions and near-death state, fusing with his body, and transforming into his [True Form]!]
[All Stats have increased by +250%, Damage Taken has been reduced by -30%, all Fire and Sunlight Magic Power has increased by +100%. HP and MP Regeneration Speed has increased by +150%.]
[However, Sol's mind is quickly deteriorating, turning him into a berserk monster with no rational thoughts.]
"He transformed?!" Yuki cried.
"T-This… So he was truly a Unique Skill user." Tisha sighed.
"Well, judging by how that bastard spoke, he was always kind of a fucking monster…" Pekora sighed. "He's coming!"
"GRAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
The monstrous Sol roared, charging towards the girls while his body exuded a blazing, radiant aura that burned everything he touched. His enormous arms, no longer wielding any weapon at all other than his sharp metallic claws, reached the ground, attempting to slash apart his foes!
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH! RUMBLE!
Yuki and Tisha swiftly evaded his berserk attacks, while Pekora in the back started channeling her Spiritual Magic to her limits, summoning more Spiritual Roots attempting to wrap them around his body.
"GRAAAARGH!"
However, Sol furiously tore apart the roots with ease, his flames burning them into ashes much more easily than before. Pekora couldn't go by the same easy route again, the monster's new appearance gave him a greater endurance and flames that could burn even spirits.
"Dammit…! Alright, let's do this!" Yuki roared. "[Divine Beast Spirit Fusion]!"
"ROAR!"
FLAAASH!
A huge white tiger spirit emerged behind Yuki, fusing into her body, and changing her appearance, as she gained white tiger-like features, such as long cat-like ears, her white fur gaining several black stripes, and a long tiger-like tail, alongside even larger claws, and the Element of Light.
"I might as well go all out too!" Tisha roared. "[Divine Frost Dragon Warrior's Physique]!"
FLAAASH!
Tisha also underwent a slight change, her blue scales became silver colored and metallic in appearance, while she gained a longer dragon tail with a sharp metallic spear-like tip, and also, dragon wings!
This was a power she alone had unlocked because of having been cultivating the bloodline given to her by Drake long ago. Although she couldn't become a Dragon like Benladann was able to accomplish, she acquired the Divine Frost Dragon Warrior's Physique, granting her the power of Draconification, the ability to become a half-dragon.
"GRAAAARRGH!" The monstrous Sol glanced at Pekora instead, the origin of the mana-draining roots, and opened his jaws, unleashing a deadly beam of sunlight and flames!
BOOOOOMMMM…!
"Ungh…!" Pekora barely managed to escape as her body was overflowing with lightning. She had undergone her Divine Spirit Beast Fusion transformation already, fusing with her old Spirit, Aki, a Beast Spirit of Lightning and Life Element in the shape of a little rabbit.
"Oi bastard, eyes on us instead!" Yuki roared. "[Divine White Tiger Arts]: [White Tiger's Might]! [White Tiger's Heavenly Claws]!"
Yuki's muscles swelled and enhanced her strength over ten times temporarily, as she imbued the very aura of the white tiger divine beast spirit into her own muscles. At the same time, her claws grew to an enormous size, encompassed by a golden light made of the spiritual aura of the white tiger, which temporarily materialized into enormous, gigantic claws!
Using her enhanced strength and powerful light-made claws, she rushed towards Sol and attacked his left arm, covering it on slashing wounds which she filled with deadly venom from her claws, while summoning Icicle Spears to strike his shoulders.
"GRAAARGH! RAAAAH!"
Sol didn't take that too kindly, furiously shaking her off his body as his wounded arm slowly started to regenerate, but it failed! Sol's eyes opened wide in anger, realizing some of the wounds filled with Yuki's venom had frozen over.
"[Divine Ice Venom Magic]: [Cryogenic Venom Infection]…" Yuki smiled. "This venom will freeze over and kill you from the inside! You like it, big guy?!"
"GRAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Sol furiously swung both of his gigantic metallic arms against Yuki, while summoning hundreds of over ten meters big fireballs against her constantly!
CRAAAASH! CRAAAASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, she swiftly evaded the tremendous attacks or intercepted them by using her huge White Tiger Claws. Nonetheless, having lost her surprise factor already, she was being overwhelmed by Sol. Who was both fast and tremendously strong, while having the ability to conjure magic at any point from his own body.
"Oi, you're ignoring somebody here!" Tisha's voice echoed below the huge body of Sol, as he realized her huge sword slashed against his legs, cutting one of his leg's ankles and forcing him to fall to his knees. "[Divine Frost Dragon Blade Arts]: [Frost Dragon's Spear Tail]!"
Her Sword Ki, Divinity of Frost Swords, and her Dragon Energy converged together into a spear-shaped dragon tail out of her aura, which struck down the giant made of blazing metal!
CRAAAAAASSSH!
"GRRRHHHH…!" Sol didn't take it kindly either! His eyes blazed with furious flames, suddenly, several holes opened across his body, were lava suddenly started coming out. "GRUUUAAAAHHHH!!!"
"TISHA! YUKI!" Pekora panicked as she realized Sol's true intention, from the holes on his body, he erupted like a volcano, letting out tremendous quantities of burning lava, consuming everything around him on a huge explosion!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM…!
"GRAAAHHAHAHA…!"
Sol laughed, only to fall silent as he noticed Tisha having managed to grab Yuki and fly as high as possible. Their bodies were still half-burnt, but they survived from melting completely against his mighty Volcanic Explosion.
"Alright, that's enough preparations." Pekora said furiously, as dozens of magic circles emerged above her foe.
"GRUH?!" Sol realized this too late, as the magic circles shone brightly, channeling the power of Pekora's Lightning-Attribute Divine Beast Spirit.
"[Divine Thunderstorm]!"
CRAAAAAAASSSSSH!!!
