Nier's muscles tightened, his veins pulsing with an eerie black glow as the raw power of Unlimited surged through him like an uncontrolled tidal wave.

It was raw Negative Energy in it's most purest and rawest form.

Alas though.

As Nier began to use Body Modification magic he wasn't thinking of what form he should take.

Still he was rookie in supernatural combat, but even then he began to use his power of shapeshifting to remodified his body in the most quickest way possible.

It was a reckless move, but he felt the insane primal burst of power driven by the desperate need to shield himself and these brats, and crush the abomination before him.

As such he remade his body by channelling just enough Negative Energy to boost his speed and strength, but in the heat of the moment, 150 units flooded his system, overwhelming his body with a force he hadn't anticipated.

His frame expanded in a heartbeat, muscles swelling with explosive growth that reshaped him into something larger, and fiercer.

His biceps ballooned, tearing jagged rips in the sleeves of his black sleeveless shirt, threads snapping like fragile twine.

His chest broadened, pectorals straining against the fabric until parts of bare chest popped free, scattering the fabric across the ground.

His thighs thickened into pillars of raw power, his tailored pants creaking under the pressure of quads that seemed capable of shattering stone.

He grew a few inches taller, his posture straightening into a towering silhouette, the transformation unfolding in mere seconds, a last-ditch bid to dominate the skinwalker before it could close the distance.

Naturally the boys where stunned silence, as their mouth shattered into gasps of disbelief.

Daniel's pleading hands dropped to his sides, his jaw slack as he stared, wide-eyed at the broad back man.

"M-Mr. Augustus… what in the world? You're huge!."

Neil, still gripping the ivy-choked brick wall for dear life, let out a high-pitched squeak, his eyes bulging like duel moons.

"Dude, did you just… turn into the freaking Hulk?!"

Sam's trembling fingers nearly lost their grip on the mangled drone, his legs wobbling as though they might buckle under the weight of his shock.

However Nier had no time to bask in their awe, he knew trouble when he saw it.

As his crimson eyes locked onto the creature masquerading as Rita, his black pooless eyes met her ember eyes that was narrowing with deep focus.

This was after all not just some random or mindless beast; it was a Class Yellow Flux...a Skinwalker one of the most cunning and dangerous entities lurking in the world now.

Skinwalkers were collectors, grotesque hoarders of identities, peeling the skin from their victims to absorb everything, memories, skills, potential, even their very souls. Each stolen skin layered onto their power, weaving a web of abilities as diverse as their victims lives.

Worse, their resilience was tied to their gruesome collection, each skin was a life, a chance to resurrect in a new form after being killed Stripping one away only forced the creature to shed it, emerging in another stolen guise.

But shedding the previous skin, also mena loosing the traits that's comes with the form.

As such, to truly end a skinwalker, you had to force it through every layer until it stood naked in its original, primal form, only then could it die.

As you could only kill a skin walker when it is in its true form.

Thankfully though Nier was not at disadvantage here.

Utilizing the capability of his Body modifications magic he took on a quick form the would allow him to apprehend the enemy before him.

The skinwalker lunge faltered mid-air as Nier's enhanced speed propelled him forward like a speeding truck.

His massive hand shot out, fingers clamping around its charred throat with a sickening squelch, the peeling, blackened skin yielding under his iron grip.

"I have no idea who gave you the permission to put feet on my property, but you choose the wrong house to pull this shit."

Nier growled, as his voice deepened by the anger, resonating like a storm trapped in his chest.

With a flex of his newly bulked arms, corded with veins that glowed a faint, pulsing black he slammed the creature downward.

The impact cratered the concrete ground below with a brutal shake, sending shockwaves that tore vines from the earth and cracked earth beneath into a sinking crater.

A cloud of dirt and dew erupted, glittering in the morning air.

The skinwalker writhed in his grasp, its tentacles lashing out like barbed whips, slicing shallow cuts across his face that stung but closed almost instantly, his natrual passive regeneration minutely closing his flesh back together.

Its grotesque stomach-maw snapped inches from his arm, jagged teeth grinding against his reinforced skin, unable to pierce reinforce flesh.

"Sniff… you smell like us...I see, a fellow kindred...yet you take their side."

Rita’s said, as she retaliate by squeezing at his hand, and then her claws sink it with great force.

"Ahhh... You annoying little...

Nier screamed lightly in pain, but right after he turn his body around, his grip now yanking her by the face, and using his full strength, like wild beast, he slam and threw her through the brick wall.

Causing it collapse on its self.

SLAMMM!!

A loud explosion echoed, as she flew through four trees, nearly breaking the fifth one in half.

And Rita body flew like rag doll, both her snap, several organs ruptured, and her spine was splintered into dust.

The sheer force alone knock one of the eyes straight out of her socket as she laid there like a broken toy.

Daniel looked at this in shock.

He had no words to describe the moment, but Sam was the total opposite.

"Holy shit... Did he just killed a Skin Walker on his own."

But not long after he got an answer because as Neir looked onwards he saw something that was truly freaky.

By the head, Ms. Rita skin began to shed revealing a lighter color than tan.

And instead of a curvy figure, what came out was lean but very athletic looking young man.

Rita, or wr whoever this man was looked at Nier, and smile as he said.
