The golden rays met the burning black, and they exploded simultaneously.
The impact sent quakes throughout the cracked, dark world, and the walls that the shadow had made fell apart.
Rion's golden eyes scanned the devastation, and he waved his hand.
The explosion vanished into nothing, and the people who had been turned into black statues disappeared from their spots.
The shadow stared at the nexus floating at the center and said, "He really gave you everything."
Rion appeared beside him and asked in a strangely calm voice, "Who is this person you speak of?"
The shadow looked at Rion and continued in its monotonous voice, "I cannot defeat you."
"I am aware of that fact," Rion nodded.
The shadow pulled a scythe out of its robe and swung it toward him.
Shadows rose from the ground and filled the scythe with more power. The very space around it began to turn dark as if consumed by the scythe's nature.
