motion the withered serpent Bandits
watch with gleeful anticipation reving
in the despair etched on their prey's
face as if it were the finest
affirmation of their cruel Deeds just as
the hammer is about to make contact
suene suddenly lifts his head his gaze
Resolute and fearless he raises his palm
meeting the descending Hammer with his
bare hand boom a deafening crash
resounds as the hammer collides with his
palm producing a dull thud as if the
very air has solidified in that moment
an invisible shock wave radiates from
the point of impact sweeping outward in
all directions the garments of those
present flap wildly in the wind forcing
them to invol M arily steep back a few
Paces the stonkin Giant's face displays
sheer astonishment he seems equally
shaken by the scene unfolding before him
I in a fit of humiliation and anger he
intensifies his Force attempting to
drive the hammer down further yet the
hammer remains firmly held in place by
an unseen power refusing to budge I
asked that enough suene inquires with a
smile a hint of mockery lacing his tone
seizing the moment M of the ston skinned
Giant's astonishment Sue genene acts
swiftly delivering a powerful punch to
the Giant's chest with his free hand
thud a muffled sound reverberates ha the
ston skinned giant cries out in agony
his hammer slipping from his grasp due
to the Sudden Impact his massive form is
sent hurtling backward crashing into a
two-story building the structure
crumbles under the force sending dust
swirling into the air and the stone-
skinned giant is buried neath the debris
momentarily silent as Eugene remained
standing unperturbed as if the
tremendous strike had no effect on him
whatsoever with his hands clasped behind
his back he wears an inscrutable Smile
as though everything is under his
control however no one notices that his
hidden hands concealed within his
sleeves have turned a deep red and are
trembling slightly a manifestation of
his suppressed pain as Eugene is on the
verge of grimacing and Agony yet yet he
resolutely holds it back that he
understands that he cannot reveal any
weakness at this moment he must maintain
this enigmatic Persona ever since he
ascended as the king of the black
Crystal Clan he has become increasingly
mindful of His Image developing a desire
to project an air of superiority this
sudden turn of events leaves everyone
present in a State of Shock whether it
be the members of the black Crystal Clan
or the withered serpent Bandits they
seem Frozen in place their minds blank
in capable of reacting meanwhile the
market overseers hidden in the bunker
witnessed this scene through
surveillance screens erupting in
jubilant cheers we are saved they weep
tears of joy as if Dawn is broken upon
them the once lifeless Hearts begin to
beat a new boss the members of the
withered serpent exclaim finally
snapping back to reality scrambling
toward the rubble in a frenzy
desperately trying to excavate the stone
skinned giant from the debris suddenly a
violent explosion erupts from the center
of the ruins a powerful shock wave
scattering the members of the withered
serpent like leaves in a tempest as the
dust begins to clear a figure emerges
glowing red as if engulfed in flames the
ston skinned giant skin has transformed
into a hard searing Crimson Rock his
braided hair swirling wildly in the wind
like Furious serpents of fire you seek
death the stone- skinned giant Bellows
each word dripping with Fury and
murderous intent. s Eugene standing
nearby was a mocking grin are you a
broken record is that all you can say
his tone drips with derision and disdain
after speaking he brazenly beckons with
his finger as if provoking the ston
skinned Giants wrath daada the ston
skinn Giants Roar shakes the heavens as
his body suddenly expands transforming
