Chapter 337 Crazy Situation
[Maybe you should check on him if you don't believe me.]
Lee Seng stepped into the elevator after Akio and turned. He started to lean when his body responded with him moving a bit forward. He had gotten used to leaning a certain way with his tail, that when he did it, he didn't even catch himself.
[You choose to live two different lives. If you just chose one or the other, this wouldn't be a problem would it? Yet, here you are struggling to keep two identities together, Lee Seng. You can't have both. It's either him or me.]
'I already chose my path! I will have both. You promised me if I figured out the origins of the serum I was injected with, you would give in.' Lee Seng reminded XI.
[But you haven't figured anything out. I would've figured it all out by myself if it weren't for that strong man… What was his name, again? Chan-Yeol?]
Lee Seng gritted his teeth as the elevator doors opened. Akio stepped out first, turning to look at Lee Seng. He noticed Lee Seng's hands were balled and his face told Akio he was angry.
The door started to close when Akioo three his hand in between and slammed it against the door. It caught Lee Seng's attention enough to make him continue forward. He didn't fully pay attention to Akio. He only gave enough attention to follow Akio.
[That Chan-Yeol guy. He's tough. He pinned me, the stronger and far better version of you, down.]
'Far better?' Lee Seng scoffed. 'Like you could be any better than me. You just want me to let down my guard and take full control.'
[If I wanted to take you over, completely, I could've done it months ago. You may have a strong will, but there's gaps even you don't know about. Maybe I should demonstrate since you're so cocky!]
[Protocol XI has forcefully started transformation.]
"Argh!" Lee Seng grunted as he stumbled backwards. Lee Seng's muscles expanded as he clutched his chest. The pain flared throughout his body as Dark Matter started to ooze out of his eyes and nose.
"Lee i–" Akio turned to see the large amounts of Dark Matter expanding around him. Groups of people in the night lobby turned to see the horrific situation happening.
"Argh!!" Lee Seng shouted. His head and torso bent backwards. People began to point as Akio cursed.
"Why now? Did your Protocol progress faster?" Akio mumbled. The Shadow sword appeared in his hand as shadows pulled towards him. "I didn't want to take you here but this is for everyone else's safety."
Akio moved and grabbed Lee Seng, pulling him with him. The world turned black and white as the world around them blurred. Akio appeared at a large shadowy chain in the middle of nowhere as the Dark Matter shit at Akio.
Akio released Lee Seng and him and blinked out of existence.
[You should've just chosen me. Now you'll bend to my will!]
Dark Matter flew all around Lee Seng, covering him like a cocoon. Akio blinked back into existence as he watched the gray color fade. It slowly turned black with gold and silver accents.
'Is he transforming? It isn't like anything we have in the logs…' Akio observed. He gripped his sword in his right hand as shadows pushed and pulled at his spot like ocean waves.
[You thought you were a monster? Let me show you what a monster is capable of!]
The cocoon exploded, splattering around. A skin tight suit wrapped around Lee Seng's body. His ruby and Sapphire eyes glinted as Akio watched his younger brother's form morph. Horns grew in the place where the Fox ears were. Tendrils exploded where Lee Seng's tail would've been.
Lee Seng's hands turned to claws. He snarled as his body twitched. His teeth sharpened as his wild eyes watched Akio.
[This could've been all yours if you'd just let me in.]
"Lee Seng…" Akio quietly spoke his name. Lee Seng growled as his body jerked forward. He flew straight for Akio, who blocked the first attack. "Lee Seng enough! Stop!"
Lee Seng emitted a blast of gravity that shoved Akio backwards. Black, hold and silver energy swirled around Lee Seng as the tendrils raised and rocketed straight for Akio.
Akio met the attacks with shadows firing back at them. He grunted as he easily matched Lee Seng's incredible speed. Lee Seng fired the tendrils, which split from his tail as they instantly grew back. He sent a flurry of blows at Akio, getting a couple hits in as he slashed at his older brother.
Akio grunted as he was shoved.backwards by the immense amount of pressure.
'I might need Akali's help.' Akio wiped his cheek. The enraged Lee Seng had managed to scratch him.
"Sorry, kid, I'm gonna have to put you down temporarily." Akio apologized in advance. "Shadow Fury." The sword melded into the shadows as Akio's form flashed and was replaced by shadows billowing off of him like smoke. His hands were gloves with claws as fingers. A shadowy cape hung behind him as he wore shadow boots.
Akio instantly disappeared from sight as Lee Seng turned and swiped, hitting Akio as he appeared. The two went back and forth as Lee Seng quickly moved faster, splitting from Akio. He raised a single finger into the sky. The cosmic energies pulled together creating a small orb.
[Taste the power you could have if you just gave into me, Lee Seng.]
A cosmic ray flew straight at Akio, splitting into different rays as they flew at Akio. The rays slammed into the spot Akio was at. He had blinked out of existence, again.
[Kill him by any means!]
Lee Seng blinked out of the black and white world surprising Akio as he was mere.inches from Lee Seng.
"What the–"
Lee Seng barraged Akio with swipes, pulling away at the shadows around his brother as tendrils impaled Akio. Akio grunted as blood oozed out.
"Fuuc– You can blink… I for–" A tendril flew straight for Akio's head. A blade of light intercepted the fatal blow, exploding and forcing Lee Seng to recoil by the sudden light. He pulled away, sliding away as he tried to see who was there.
"You did use one of the Chains." Akali's voice commented. She showed another light blade and looked at Akio. He was in his Shadow Fury form and was injured.
"About damn time. Help me with him, would you?" Akio pointed.
"You sure you'll be fine bleeding like that?" Akali asked. The shadows moved to cover his wounds as Akio nodded.
"I'll be fine. Don't kill him."
"Him who?" Akali turned and noticed the glowing ruby and Sapphire eyes. "Lee Seng? What the hell happened her–" Lee Seng blinked and erupted in gravity. Akali and Akio went flying as he turned for Akio.
[Kill him now!]
Cosmic emery balls appeared all over the field as the rays fired. Akio blinked into Limbo, only to find Lee Seng uppercutting him.
'He anticipated the blink?' Akio thought as he went flying up into the sky.
"Cosmic Ray." Lee Seng uttered, flicking his thumb up at Akio like he was flicking a coin. A single ray flew straight through Akio's lower torso, blood spraying as he dropped onto the ground.
[Finish him! He isn't dead yet.] Lee Seng slowly moved over to Akio and watched his brother squirm with his own dull eyes.
"Lee… don't…" Akio weakly spoke as blood spilled out of his wounds. His mouth was flowing with blood as he tried to move. Lee Seng shook as he slowly raised his hand up into the sky.
'Stop it.' Lee Seng thought. 'Stop it!' He watched as his hand flew down. Cosmic energy releasing as he watched the energy release. A bright light shattered the Realm of Limbo around them. The cosmic energy disappeared as Lee Seng felt millions of blows fly at him.
Akali's form shimmered brightly as loose strands of hair flew wildly in front of her face. He caught a glimpse of rainbows glittering I'm her eyes as she sent out an explosion of light, shooting Lee Seng backwards into the air.
"Health Depot." Akali's distorted voice commanded. She flicked the mechanism into the air and ran after Lee Seng as the mechanism exploded into tiny red nanobots. They flew at Akio and entered his body, instantly making him glow in bright red as they healed him.
"Exalted Punishment." Akali announced. A large sword appeared.in her hands as she came to a stop on the opposite of Lee Seng and swung downwards. Lee Seng erupted in light as pain exploded all throughout his body.
[The Host has been critically injured. Instant Heal has been used.]
The area exploded around Akali and Lee Seng as Akali pulled back and watched the light show dying down. Large wisps of flowing light sizzled from where she thought Lee Seng to be.
The light burned Akali as she gripped the large sword. Smoke and light billowed off of the body. She watched it smoke for a while before she noticed his arms began to twitch.
"He managed to withstand that?" Akali whispered. "He should've been heavily injured from that blow." The longsword disappeared, replaced by a dagger in her hand. She started towards Lee Seng.
"Akali, don't!" Akio shouted. She could see her brother blinking in front of her. He was barely standing and the nanos were still trying to repair him. He noticed the prism aura shining in her eyes. "We can't kill him. You know that. Snap out of it!"
