Izoru's POV

As I stood before the army of vicious monsters, a cold smirk etched onto my face. I reveled in the power coursing through me—the corrupted version of Issei's enlightened abilities. His strength, his skills, all twisted and amplified in this dark manifestation I had become.

In my hand, the Draconic Annihilation Gear materialized, a corrupted reflection of Issei's sacred armament. It emanated an ominous energy, a stark departure from the purity of the original. The weapon in my grasp, an evil version of Ascalon, pulsed with a malevolence that mirrored the depths of my corrupted nature.

My Draconic Aura, unlike Issei's crimson brilliance, exuded an unsettling black hue. It soared around me, a manifestation of the twisted power I wielded. With a surge of exhilaration, I rushed at the monsters, my corrupted abilities amplifying every strike, every movement.

The battlefield became a canvas of chaos as I unleashed the full extent of my corrupted prowess. Boosted by the malevolent energy, my strength surpassed the limits of what Issei could achieve. Each swing of my corrupted Ascalon cut through the monsters with a ruthlessness that spoke of the darkness within.

I reveled in the destruction, the sensation of power coursing through me, feeding the malevolent dragon side that lurked within. The monsters fell, decimated by the corrupted force that surged from my every move. It was a symphony of chaos, a dance of annihilation that echoed the twisted reflection of Issei's noble purpose.

As the last of the monsters crumbled under the weight of my corrupted might, a sinister satisfaction gripped me. The evil dragon side within me exulted in the devastation, reveling in the chaos I had wrought.
