《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 44: The Serpent of the Seven Hells
Advertisement
[Apophis' Turn.]
It wasn't just that the ground was shaking intensely more and more as it continued, but the source of the cause was standing between her and the White Reaper. Her ears were also being disturbed too as Apophis would bellow with a yell as he was looking constipated.
Suddenly, his form would begin to shift in an extremely unnatural way. As if something inside of him was poking outwards to be released. he would curl forward with his hands on his shoulders. His ropes ripped, exposing more of his body. The ashed portions of his skin were mostly on his body. With the normal coloring of his skin looking like the abnormal blotches. The muscle in his body seemed to have wither away as his body was going through a morphing phase of some kind.
Yasuline had to look away but could hear something tearing up apart from his direction. Peeking back, she would find a man-sized serpent took his place, coated in red liquid. It didn't stay that size and continued growing more and more. The White Reaper had to move away or risked being struck by its tail as it shifted.
The ceiling didn't withstand all the shaking. Pieces of the top would fall and smash onto the ground. the chandelier smashes loudly near King Suko. Taking some damage from the flying glass.
His new body was enormous. His long body now acting as a wall while separating the throne room into two separate ones. Keeping Yasuline and the White Reaper apart. Not even jumping allowed her to see over his body. The scales on his new body were black with the underbelly being an ash gray. His eyes were huge, yellow, and gave a small glow. His tongue, which looked more like a fork than an actual tongue would hang out of his close mouth. Right between his two large fangs. They ran for so long and were slim, she couldn't make out the exact point end of them.

"HAHAHA. YOU SHOULD BE HONORED TO SEE THIS FORM. NOT MANY HAVE ENDURED A BATTLE AGAINST ME LONG ENOUGH TO SEE ME IN MY TRUE FORM! I AM APOPHIS, THE CHAOS SERPENT!"
His voice was loud, shaking the very room they were in. Windows shattered around them, acting like a bell that alerted them all that the battle will continue now.
He would slowly move his upper body, showing just how much his body was actually hidden as he curled around in a circle just to stay inside the room. His tail would sway about, forcing the White Reaper having to move about just to avoid it. This gets the giant serpent's attention and his hisses threatening at him.
[Apophis Uses Serpent of the Seven Hells Series, Unique Skill: Transformation. All Stats Dramatically increased. Vitality increased by 200%. King Suko has taken damage. King Suko has sustained injuries, will receive damage per turn. Turn Ends.]
"NOW THEN, IF THE KING WOULD KINDLY BE USEFUL AND GRAB THE PRINCESS WHILE I DEAL WITH THE RAT, THAT WOULD BE MOST GOOD."
[King Suko's Turn. Current Condition: Controlled / Bleeding.]
The king would pick himself off the floor and begins to walk towards Yasuline. She could see that was partly struggling with all the glass poking out of his body. She looks in her hand the remaining half-used healing potion. She hadn't much time to debate herself over to give it to her father or not. Her father was already back in action. He swings his sword at her, but this time, it was a very sluggish swing that Yasuline had more than enough time to get her weapon into position to block his attack.
Not knowing exactly why, but her arms didn't feel as numb as before from their last conflict. And due to how weakened he was, she was now able to push him back. He clumsily falls over onto his back and slowly picks himself back up again. It hurts Yasuline deeply to see him struggle so much, even under the circumstances. As she stands there, she would drift her attention to the other side where she could see the White Reaper using his speed at his advantage to keep distance between him and the head of Apophis serpent head as he leans close, possibly trying to take a massive bite at him like a common dullbeast.

[King Suko uses Sword Attack. Attack Blocked. Damage Taken due to sustained injuries. Turn Ends.]
The king would try to pick himself up but would have an even tougher time than before. The bleeding from his arms would worsen as more of it drips out of the cuts as some of the glass falls out from his body, leaving some gaps in the cut. Some went deeper from being pushed. He would lose his strength and then collapses, his sword slides out of his hand and spins about as it gets some distance from him.
[Yasuline's Turn.]
That was the breaking point for her, she couldn't stand seeing her father in such a weak state. She would go over to him and quickly doses him with the remaining healing potion. To ensure her safety, she would block his reach from his sword by sitting between it and him.
[Yasu uses Healing Potion on King Suko. Health Restored. Turn Ends. Third Round Over.]
"Come on, dad, you have to fight his control. The White Reaper can't fight him AND you while also protecting me. If only I had some training or even some strength."
Her father doesn't really react much other than lying there with his head down, seeing him not moving much, her attention gets drawn back to the White Reaper and Apophis.
