The shockwave ripped through the cavern, shattering the last of the ancient runes and splitting the stone floor like glass.
But right at this time, another attack landed on Damon. A strange purple beam, one that had golden symbols etched on it, slashed at him from behind.
A smile appeared on Aiden’s face, but the next second, the Damon in front of him became a mess of shadows, and another Damon appeared right behind him.
"You are a strange guy with a strange power, aren’t you? What exactly is your real class?" Damon calmly asked.
Aiden froze mid-smile. The shadows around him twisted like living smoke, and before he could even turn, a cold hand pressed against the back of his neck.
"How...?" Aiden rasped, half-turning. The purple energy sputtered in his hand like a dying flame. Blood tendrils covered him from top to bottom, not letting him make even a single move.
But right at this time, something unexpected happened. A rip appeared in front of Damon. A rip in the very reality. Purple cracks started forming, and golden symbols spread out from the cracks.
Damon’s eyes widened. Something told him that this was not a simple illusion. He could feel power that was beyond his comprehension.
Stepping into C rank had changed everything. It was as if a bottleneck had been lifted in his body, and he was now able to amass an insane number of stats. But this... whatever this was... was something else entirely.
It made him feel incomplete and ignorant. It was as if he were a mere mortal staring at the unreachable sun shining brightly in the sky. The mere sight of the phenomenon made him feel hollow and worthless.
Damon’s entire body trembled. An oppressive power emanated from that rip in reality, putting pressure on him. His mind, body, and soul felt like it was going to explode. How could he stand up against something like this? He was simply not worthy.
In a single moment, everything he had worked toward felt insufficient and insignificant. He stood there like the same useless person he once was, with nothing and nobody, with every path in his future cut off.
The tear was now big enough, and a purple beam shot forward, straight toward Damon. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Damon wanted to move. Every instinct in his body screamed for him to move, but he could not. However, before the beam could reach him, cracks started forming all around him. Reality itself started twisting, and the illusion started coming undone.
The purple beam attack was so strong that the illusion space couldn’t hold on to its integrity anymore. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Just as the purple beam swirling with the golden symbols reached Damon, the world around him crumbled.
For a moment, there was only darkness everywhere. In that darkness, something stirred. A pair of eyes flashed open and stared at Damon, stared right into him, even though he was pretty sure he did not even have any form at the moment.
He was one with the darkness, and yet that pair of eyes stared straight at him.
And then a familiar expression appeared in the eyes. Not one of killing intent. Not one of anger or rage. Not one of disdain. It was one of polite indifference. The same expression Aiden wore every single time in this lifetime.
