CRACKLE KRAKOOM TZZZRAAP

The sound of hot blue lightning of Chaos energy crackled around Heisuke's being from his earlier transformation into his Chaos Mode. He wasn't aware that he had transformed, thinking he had just further upped his maximum, but he was conscious of his eye being restored and changed since the other eye with the black sclera he saw through everything looked black and white. It was strange, but he knew he'd adjust if it was permanent.

"Tch... Still is gonna be quite annoying, thoughit's like having double vision, but way, way, way WAY fucking worse. Not to mention that annoying ass stinging pain." He grimaced, placing a hand over his new eye, baring his sharp canines, expressing anger at the fact his eye didn't only got damaged, but it then regenerated and morphed into something he didn't like at all.

Heisuke grunted before gasping in surprise as his attention shifted from his messed-up vision to what was going on with his body as he looked down at his torn gloved hands. Small sparks of lightning crackled smoothly across his palms and all around on his clothing as well, dancing like serpents of raw energy. His breath hitched as he stared at the surging power coursing through him, the blue and black electricity radiating from his fingers, as if alive and eager to be unleashed.

"Heh, but this..." He clenched his fists tightly, crushing the electricity in the palm of his hand.

"This is something else." He continued under his breath, a dark grin tugging at the corners of his lips. The power felt intoxicating; his body practically vibrated with the raw potential he now wielded. It was no longer just about speed—it was control, precision, and devastation, all wrapped into one.

"What even is 'this'?" Heisuke internally questioned, his mind in awe as he glanced down at his crackling hands. "This isn't just light speed... no way. This... 'form' gives me a way bigger boost of Chaos Energy than that."

His mouth hung slightly open, still processing the power surge, before his expression hardened. His eyes narrowed and his mouth thinly lined as he noticed something... weird about his new transformation.

"But... something's obviously not good about it. I can feel my Chaos Energy draining way faster than usual. Way more than in Light Speed. Hell, Light Speed doesn't even burn through this much Chaos Energy." He scoffed, his expression laced with irritation, before he then lets out a sigh, calming himself down and smirking, shrugging his shoulders.

"Ah, what the hell? I don't really care anyway; all I know is that it's gonna help me a lot when I'm tearing these fuckers to shreds." His eyes glinted with a savage bloodlust as he straightened up, locking onto Igris with a glare that could cut through steel, the intensity in his gaze promising nothing but pain.

Igris narrows his eyes at Heisuke before summoning his sword, swinging it towards Heisuke, who snickered at him as he evaded his swing with a smooth side step to which Igris grunted before trying again once more to cleave him in.

"Heh, seriously?" Heisuke taunted with a smirk, effortlessly ducking beneath Igris's swing. "If it didn't work the first time, what makes you think it'll work now?" His voice dripping mockery.

In one fluid motion, he dropped into a one-handed handstand, his body twisting like a spring before releasing a powerful kick towards Igris' abdomen. The impact sent the towering 13-foot Youkai commander skidding back across the ground, leaving deep grooves in the blood soaked as the armored giant struggled to regain his footing.

Heisuke smirked at the sight before pushing himself off the ground with his one hand before then doing some stylish flips and landing on his feet in a slightly crouched motion before slowly standing up right.
