As Sunny, now shifting into various forms, arrived at the scene, he saw people fleeing in terror. But one figure stood out – a woman with long silver hair, fighting the creatures with precision and skill. It was Serena, his girlfriend.
Just as he summoned the shifting tattoo, a whisper echoed in his ear:
"[Accept the Demi-Exalted bond]"
He accepted, and his tattoo created an imaginary staircase, launching him high into the sky. Sunny felt a rush of wind beneath his feet, and his tattoo slashed at the creatures.
The creatures seemed to grow stronger with each blow, shrugging off even Serena's powerful wind attacks. Sen joined the fray, unleashing thunderbolts, but the creatures only grew more ferocious.
Determined to understand the creatures' strength, Sunny shifted into a monster, allowing it to attack him. To his surprise, each blow felt like a sweet release, like licking a lollipop.
The voice whispered again:
"[You have received your legacy skill]"
"[You have received a new legacy power]".
Sunny's body was ravaged, but he continued to let the monster beat him. Serena and Sen exchanged worried glances, unsure why this man would willingly suffer such punishment.
Suddenly, Sunny's shifting tattoo used the wind as a shield, smashing it into the creature. With a final burst of strength, he unleashed a devastating blow. As time seemed to slow, the ghost of a creature he had killed appeared, summoning a thunderbolt to shock the monster.
Sunny's fist connected, and a massive explosion erupted. Thankfully, his shifting soap protected Serena and him from the blast.
The voice whispered once more:
"[You have slain Corrupted Exalted Raven]"
"[You have unlocked your spirit sea]".
A shocking realization hit Sunny – he had killed his mother. The weight of heaven seemed to settle on his shoulders, and the wind tried to crush him. He had accepted the Demi-Exalted bond, and now he faced the flaws.
Sunny collapsed, his body unable to bear the pressure. His tattoo retreated to his arm, and his phone returned to normal.
