Identity Reveal.

His whip was black. It was made out of his own body, just like the golden whip lashing at him. But unlike the golden whip, it was burning with black flames.

The black flames left a trail in the air as they smashed against the golden whip. The golden whip split into four to evade the single black whip. The black whip hit one golden whip and slashed it in half. It missed the other three, and it was too late to stop them. 

Aeternus made a split-second decision. He decided to give up on the three whips. He couldn't stop them all, even if he tried. So he made his whip continue forward towards PRIDE. Then he stretched forth his hand toward the three golden whips. His hand enlarged and morphed into a shield larger than his body to block the attack.
