I will return

91

A deep, thunderous scream escaped my throat as energy overflowed within me. I felt every fiber of my body expand, ready to receive the absolute power I had finally conquered.

First, my eyebrows. It was a subtle detail, but the energy built up there like a slight hum. Little by little, I felt how the hairs lengthened and grew, robust and firm, becoming denser and sharper, giving me a much more ferocious expression. That transformation into something wild and powerful began from that insignificant detail.

Then the front legs. Even in their primitive form, I began to feel a stretch, an internal pressure that lengthened them, twisting and strengthening each tendon and muscle. It was an intense force, as if Daemon Ritus itself was molding me. My arms stretched, they transformed. They weren't hands yet, but he could feel an imminent transition in every cell. And then it happened: one by one, fingers began to form, thick and muscular, while sharp claws sprouted from the tips, giving me a deadly grip instead of mere paws. A new and indomitable power was born in them.

My chest also grew, expanding in time with an increasingly deep and voracious breathing. I felt my muscles thicken, each beat pumping a force that filled my torso with indestructible solidity. It was as if each breath of air forged a shield of muscles that could face anything.

As my front limbs turned into powerful arms, my hind legs began to tremble. They were beginning to transform into legs, strong and firm. I felt how each joint adjusted, becoming more robust, while my feet lengthened, taking a definitive shape. The stability and power he felt was something beyond imagination.

My legs were now columns of pure strength, held on feet as mortal as my hands.

And then, on my back, a scaly, scaly sensation ran down my spine. I felt something erupt from the base, lengthening, bending until I knew what it was: my tail. What had been a faint trace was now a powerful expanse, vibrant with deadly energy. Not only that. From my back, something else began to emerge, pushing through the muscles like huge dragon wings, forming in all its magnificence. The wings were vast, covered in scales and thorns, ready to lift me into the sky, my size increasing each time those wings spread further and further.

As my entire body frame expanded, my muscles also grew, becoming enormous masses of pure power. Sharp horns like daggers emerged from my head, completing a figure of absolute terror. My size exceeded any expectations, and the ground shook under my weight. It was much more than I had dreamed of.

I looked up at the moon, feeling the fullness of power run through every corner of my being. I closed my eyes for a second, savoring the sensation, and when I opened them, I felt my skull grow. My face lengthened, taking on a brutal and dominating shape, while my size increased more and more, to the point of breaking and shattering the earth around me. Now, my feet crushed the ground with devastating force, and my body continued to expand, breaking down the natural walls around me.

"I can't believe that after so long, I've finally done it!"
