The demon surged.
And took control. This time no matter how Bane struggled the demon had taken full control, Bane could only watch from the sidelines.
Bane's body straightened abruptly. The tremors stopped.
The chaotic fluctuations in aura vanished, replaced by a smooth, oppressive presence that radiated confidence and superiority. His domain stilled, the darkness flattening into obedience once more, but no longer responding to Bane's will.
Slowly, deliberately, the being now inhabiting his body lifted its head.
It flexed its fingers, watching the way shadows responded.
Then it smiled. Instantly going through Bane's memories, he took in everything, Bane's secrets everything Bane planned was now exposed.
"Bane Reign," the demon said, voice perfectly steady, layered with cold amusement. "So this is all you've prepared to fight against my demon race."
He glanced around the domain with casual disdain.
"Pathetic."
The smile widened as memories surfaced.
