It was as if the whole world had quieted down, briefly yet interminably, as if a few seconds of silence had passed, or perhaps an entire century had slipped by. Maybe it wasn't that the entire world was waiting, all unanimously granting this moment for reaction, it was merely a coincidental pause in the midst of an attack.
After all, the previous barrage of missiles that came howling, was directly swept away by the gaze of the Nine-tailed Demoness, exploding in the sky before even closing in.
The previous wave of attack was ineffective, the next wave had yet to arrive, perfectly stuck in this in-between moment.
No attacks, no explosions.
Only the blood-red sky burning and the Nine-tailed phenomenon stretching across the horizon, and the two of them facing each other in the void. The fierce wind at this high altitude blew their robes and long hair into a wild dance, as they confronted each other, time seemed to freeze at this moment.
