His voice thundered:
"JunJun! FORM TWO — BEAST SHELL!"
"Arf!!"
The hound's body dissolved into a storm of light. Shinrei threads unfurled from Junjun's crimson eye, wrapping around Andromeda's frame. Plates of spectral fur and sinew bound to his gloves, boots, and chest like living armor. His shadow elongated, canine-shaped ears flickering above his silhouette.
For a moment, Andromeda and Junjun breathed as one.
Every motion, every spark of emotion harmonized.
[Author Note – Beast Shell]
Type: Resonance Form (2nd Gate)
Effect: User merges their Echo Beast or Spirit into partial symbiosis, enhancing physical power, reflex, and instinct.
Drawback: Shared wounds — if the beast or spirit takes damage, so does the user.
