Despite the ongoing battle, Walter's attention was elsewhere as he felt the additional weight on his head as he looked around as his height was just the same while Tarka's katars cleaved through some of the monsters, then when he turned his eyes downward, he now had a long snout as he tried saying to himself.
"Well, this is new."
But what he heard was something else entirely as the sound of *BBBaaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHH* echoed through the crypt.
He became a goat man!
He had some trouble with walking since his feet were HOOVES now.

The current form he had was an excellent blade user that his weapon was made from a part of his soul while it did cause Walter to feel some fear for even trying to use it his thoughts quickly changed when the blade slipped out of his hand when he found out where it was from and it easily sunk into the floor leaving only the hilt exposed!
He had a big O look on his face before deciding that this was his new favorite weapon!
Not noticing the fact that he had nine monsters that were further upgrading this particular skill As a regular monster that had this skill could only make its strength and sharpness similar to an iron dagger but putting that aside for now.
Walter put away the blade as the fear of it possibly harming his soul should it break still lingered in his mind, and they still had to worry about the current monsters that were after them, Yin like a caring older sister came to him then checked his body for any injuries since she was busy killing the monsters earlier, while Quinn that lazy bird was trying to get on to his head but thanks to his new horns that prevented it was having any success of trying out its 'furnished' favorite spot!
Walter tried to smack the annoying bird that easily dodged his hand before clinging to the ceiling as more monsters were coming, they were a bunch of goat men and more fallen as the voice of the monster directing them had echoed through the crypt.
"KILL THEM!!! KILL THEM!!! ME EAT HUMAN!!!"
The sound of impatience was obvious in the tone of the leading monster and this seemed to have set something off on all of his followers, as the monsters now doubled their efforts into reaching Walter's group, almost like they became frenzied as they pushed each other to squeeze into the tight area like they wanted to drown or crush the group with their own bodies!
Sensing the increasing peril they were in Walter had Hairy fire a few water spells to flood the area their enemies were in before getting him to begin a 'light' show~
After all of his summons had left the trap zone, Hairy used one of his lightning spells to eliminate or stun the monsters within the area, while Yin, Walter, and Aegis were attacking those that managed to survive.
After a few kills then Walter felt a euphoric feeling that made him moan a bit as it was even stronger than when he was in his own body, this addictive feeling of growth made him order Yin to stop for a bit as he claimed the rest of the electrified monsters for himself.
Using his quill shot, a good number of monsters had another hole to breathe through then after experiencing it 6 more times he asked yin and aegis to resume their assault on these monsters before even more come along and possibly break through the shocking trap~
While he wanted to return to the camp to get more supplies his current form wasn't exactly a good thing to have, while he did want to change back Walter was unable to for some odd reason but he didn't have time to worry about such things as a few Wendigos managed to widen the passageway before causing a large increase of monsters to deal with.
More than an hour of this struggle going on and despite the constant healing from hairy, things weren't looking well Yin's arrows were running low, Yang was starting to get burnt out as were the others while Walter thanks to his regeneration it kept him going but the built-up pain and the physical strain were making him mentally exhausted now.
This Let Walter realize that his summons can't keep doing this continuously, they needed to rest eventually except for Quinn as that bird was constantly channeling its skill to reinvigorate itself both health and mana Thus Walter had an interesting idea which took effect upon yang slaying the last of the current batch of monsters.
All of his summons except for Quinn had returned to Walter as he too suddenly disappeared, before the certain blood hawk's eyes gained a glow of mischief, Quinn thanks to how small it was, hid in one of the dark holes within the wall, the monsters began swarming the area as they looked for the prey that they were supposed to deliver to their leader.
With no signs of the enemy, this caused them to become confused as they relentlessly searched every nook and cranny but were unable to find anything as the trackers were unable to differentiate the scent of their allies from enemies thanks to the numerous kinds of creatures that followed the Large wendigo.
The wendigo ordered more of its troops to enter the crypt to join the search, while Quinn who was blending with the shadows now as it avoided the other monsters stumbled upon a chest that shined.
Upon touching the chest, a book, a journal, and a large amount of gold suddenly came pouring out which quickly led to Quinn using its 'stomach of holding' before it returned to hiding then made its way to the entrance.
Upon reaching the entrance, The glowing Wendigo growled at one of the reports of its minions to which became a snack for it as the large monster grabbed the fallen then bit its head off!
Then began eating the rest of its twitching body as the other 7 monsters, some distance away that consisted of Fallen shamans and elder monsters, didn't bat an eye at this as they knew, that anyone stupid enough to get too close or try to interrupt its 'meal' while it was going through its mood swings would be suicidal as that would just be asking them to join the menu.
But there was one monster brave enough to get close as they saw a strange blood hawk charging towards the leader before nine more beings suddenly appeared all with their weapons drawn and spells ready!
