Desperate to rival his increasingly deadly supernatural foes, Halkenn rebuilds his Aetheric Eye using recovered pieces of the Fossilzor that originally destroyed his old team, granting him the new ability to fuse the dark lifeforce and power of any captured prey directly with the Black Core Compound that courses through his veins. Though recharged and evolved by this primal process, it triggers a subtle yet dangerous transformation. Over time, something malevolent inside the hunter begins to grow, slowly splintering Halkenn’s mind and scratching at the already fragile door to his sanity, wickedly whispering to be freed.
