Chapter 94: New form

Safo jumped up from his meditation position.

"I'm back, baby. Is everybody alive?"

He immediately saw many four-armed creatures on the walls and stalactites throwing rocks at Zo. While Zo was on top of the semi-circle shield. Kutch and O'rmon were under the protection but Dost was losing his pieces to the talons of angry Zo.

"Get out I said! Get out you son of a bitch. Don't die. Don't you dare to die, Dost." Kutch was banging the shield from inside, he was demanding a fight with the monster.

"Let us go, please. It will kill you. You can't die, please, don't die. You can't die." O'rmon was next to Kutch, her bloody legs couldn't keep her straight. She was begging Dost to let them die together in a fight.

They didn't hear Safo, their shouts overpower their hearing.

"Dost, you did well. It is my turn now. Kutch, O'rmon, help Dost on the ship. I promise you that I win this beast on my own."

Safo wished to transform his soul energy into a resource to use as the Fear skill but to his surprise, something unexpected happened. His resource form was different.

The body of Safo was one big fire. He was coated in fire. Unlike Fire Armor where he emitted fire from his spores, his new look was completely different. His cells, organs, bones, brain, and even hair became fire. More specifically fire-like substances.

The fire was something weightless while Safo was more like a liquid form of fire - a plasma.

Plasma - was not liquid nor was it a gas, it was different from all. It was the fourth matter.

Safo, however, had no idea about plasma. He thought that his body turned to some type of lava and was rather happy about it. He was fired up literally and figuratively, a new horizon of powers along with new skills.

Yet, Safo didn't forget about White-Black's skin trait. His main power was the Mind Abilities of his soul.

Safo lifted his hand and sent a wave of his skill, he had no idea what would come out.

The pterodactyl poking and ripping Dost apart stopped its assault. It looked at Safo for a moment. It turned its head watching Safo Nur carefully with both eyes taking turns. Then it jumped down from the shield and dashed towards Safo.

'What was it? What did I do?'

Safo didn't feel any murderous intention even though it was obvious. Instead, he felt faint thoughts or to be more precise dreams of Zo.

A picture of Zo and Ze flying to the star while twelve small birdies were around them. They played with each other, pecked, scratched, sometimes even landed on top of each other. Ze didn't mind them, Zo on the other hand, for time to time sent vibration waves to calm knock away the naughty child.

In front of the star, the whole family was motionless, absorbing the healthy energy portions. When the family had enough starlight and turned their back to the star. It was their way of basking under the warming star.

After some time kids started to feel bored, provoking another sibling to fight. Seeing that Zo commanded them to fly back, but made a rule to give extra care to that would be the first. The whole family hurried to race each other.

Soothed by the utopia, Safo forgot about his reality. When he woke up from the dreamland the winged beast was in front of him. It threw the right talon to tear Safo's blazing body into pieces.

Unable to dodge, Safo made the pathetic attempt to block the upcoming attack.

'Why in the hell did I see that vision? I'm going to die because of it now.'

When the sharp nails of the White-Black touched Safo's body and it began to penetrate the fire. And at that moment, Safo's new body showed its best feature.

It exploded as dynamite, sheer force reflected the arm of Zo and shook the stalactites on the ceiling. Many of which dropped down, some even made light cuts on the Zo's back and wings.

Confused, Safo checked himself, he thought that the White-Black had some new trick. When he tapped his body to make sure that everything was fine, Safo suggested that maybe it was his new skin that caused the explosion.

While Safo spent his time tapping himself, the monster was upon him again this time it went for a bite.

Again Safo maintained his block, that never helped and the same thing occurred once more. When the prolonged jaws closed with him being in-between, the area around Safo exploded. Unlike the previous one, the second explosion was way bigger and heavier.

Safo managed to jump to the side watching Zo spitting smoke.

'So that is me. How convenient.' With a bit more of an understanding of his new abilities, Safo ran towards the bird.

To check his theory Safo punched the wing of the beast. The moment when his blazing fist came in contact with the skin of Zo an explosion thundered the space.

As a result of the shock wave, the wing of the monster was sent a meter away from Safo's location.

But Safo's celebration wasn't for long. In a moment of joy, Safo looked at his fist that saved him so many times and his heart sank. There was a price for any power. There was no fist, there was nothing after the wrist. His right fist was gone in the explosion.

'So my attack will take away the body part, huh? This brings the question. Am I ready to sacrifice myself to win?' While Safo was frozen by the shocking discovery, White-Black bit off the stalagmite from the floor and moved its head to pierce the dangerous body with something else.

'A weapon?! She is smart, every time she attacks me I detonate without losing a portion of my body. So she is trying to attack me with an object to check if my defense mechanism will work on it.'

Safo jumped back but still got caught by the edge of the mineral formation. With the force that Zo implied in her swing the stalagmite in her mouth pierced through Safo's body with ease. But a very little part of the rock came out only to be melted soon.

Both Safo and Zo looked at the hole that she made. A couple of seconds and the hole was filled with plasma as if nothing had happened there. Safo touched his stomach and saw that his right hand was intact to him.

A wide grin appeared on a plasma man making Safo's appearance resemble a demon from hell.

"You are in trouble lady."

Safo wished to dash at Zo when his foot exploded and rocketed him with an amazing speed. With no time to analyze the situation, Safo stretched out his arms.

Safo didn't have to sacrifice anything, any part of his body that was exploded by an attack could regenerate itself. Safo could detonate as much as he wished and needed. Which he did.

Two arms detonated simultaneously sending Zo back tumbling. She did not have to recover when Safo rammed her again with two arms. Several minerals were stuck in her wings.

Safo jumped high and slammed her head, pinning it to the ground. Then the series of jabs came to her face until Safo utilized every single inch of his arms.

Safo didn't risk using his head yet. He wasn't sure if it could regenerate.

After the fist techniques went kicks. Zo couldn't regain her posture to counter attack, she was confused by the fact that someone could deal her damage with fire. Her skin should absorb it.

Safo on the other hand didn't remember that fact. He was busy punishing the monster that hurt his friends.

Finally, Zo had it enough she shook her body and moved away from Safo immediately turning on the vibration waves from her rattling horn.

All of her power was directed on one spot, one annoying enemy. Safo's body surely felt the vibration. The waves of shock sent his plasma flying torn from the main body. But Safo stepped forward, despite losing some of his mass.

Another step and his fire burned only at his back, while the front was pressed by immense force. He stepped forward.

Zo concentrated her will to gather her everything, anger for killing Ze, rage for stealing her helpless eggs, sorrow for losing two of those eggs. Zo directed her very nature, her soul towards her most hated enemy - the murderer of her companion.

All minerals around were destroyed into dust, Safo's foot started to dig into the ground by the force that was upon him. Safo forced himself to bring back arms that he almost lost to the wind coming from the horn.

Another step.

When Safo was just five meters away from the White-Black his body was at its limit. The closer he got to Zo the more was the force that came from her. It was already a long clear trail behind Safo, everything was destroyed due to the vibration.

Another step and Safo exploded fully...
