*RUMBLE!!!....
*BOOOOOOOM!!!...
One could clearly hear a loud, rumbling thunderclap coming from a distance as the Aether portal opened up. A bolt of lightning struck the room, lighting it briefly before it flew through the portal and closed as soon as it passed through, faster than human eyes could even dream to follow.
Merciless, who was still in his lightning form, began to transform back into his normal form moments later.
And the incorporeal form, which was wrapped around Hector, began to draw back the blanket of energy that covered him as it began to transform into flesh and bone.
Eventually, the now-free energy formed a ball of flesh, which began to reshape itself to resemble Merciless' prior human form.
He then fell to the ground crotching as he landed on his feet, and a loud thud could be heard as a result of his descent.
*Thud!!*
