And like any mortal about to die, he exploded with his full potential.
His movements became suddenly cold and calculated and his concentration reached its peak. A mysterious energy even more refined than the one enveloping Lucia's sword began to radiate from his giant saw and his aura became comparable to that of a renowned master of arms.
For the first time since his debut in the Mirror Universe, he began to use the body and bloodline he had obtained as rewards for his previous Ordeals instead of relying on his divine powers.
The Black Minotaur shrank in size, becoming more compact and lean to achieve greater mobility, and in a few strides sprinted to Lucia, whom he had sent flying into the wall. A miniature sun appeared in his hand, which immediately merged with his body and his weapon, transforming him into an incarnation of the Sun God. Shamash brought his blazing saw down on the struggling young woman and she hastily blocked it.
