A violent wind swirls around him. His body is engulfed in a black, crackling energy. His clothes dissolve, replaced by a suit of living, organic armor—jet black with silver highlights, a crimson belt buckle shaped like a locust’s eye, and a helmet with compound insect eyes that glowed with a fierce, green light.

As Kotaro struggled against the straps holding him to a cold metal slab, a monstrous figure loomed over him.

The chamber exploded in a shower of sparks and shattered glass. In the chaos, Kotaro seized his chance. He ran. A violent wind swirls around him

The fight that follows is not elegant. It is raw and brutal. Black moves with the sudden, explosive power of a locust, leaping impossible heights and delivering crushing kicks. The Kumo-Jin monsters, once terrifying, are now prey. One by one, Black destroys them, their bodies dissolving into green flame. As Kotaro struggled against the straps holding him
