@supertinykingThere was a strangeness to the two creatures being separated, but one thing was for certain, it was working albeit, not as intended. as manus can feel himself leaving the creature he begins to grow worried, his physical body having been reduced to nothing which would wind up leaving him a floating mass of darkness and energy. He would NOT allow himself to be subjected to nothingness even if the alternative was becoming part of something else, and it was with that thought that manus relinquished the fight for control and sunk into the wire creature completely, it's body changing back to the form it preferred as it snaps the chains with a flick of it's wrists, it appearing to be wearing a strange armor of eyes as it looks itself over, saying evenly with manus's deep voice toning in just at the edge of hearing "such a strange feeling... like... growing?... i think that's the word".
With those words spoken the creature seems to disappear from either beings' senses before appearing to grip the man's throat, the helmet being fried off of him by the darkness like an all devouring flame to reveal just who he was as artorias's soul edges towards the creature of it's own volition, the semi corrupted state of it making it want to wallow amongst the creature that had overcome such tribulations.
