RUMBLE!
A pillar of black light erupted from his body, piercing the sky like a beacon of death.
The world seemed to shudder in its presence.
The moment the black light touched the sky, a pressure unlike anything before spread across the battlefield.
Some of the low-ranked experts near the Villa gasped, their bodies trembling as their breath tightened.
Their knees almost buckled under the weight of the sheer, oppressive force.
Even some of the leaders standing at a distance frowned, their eyes narrowing.
"This pressure… it's different from anything I've ever felt before."
"It's not just energy… it's something else entirely."
Cain simply smiled.
The pillar of black light burned for a few more seconds, casting long shadows over the battlefield—
And then—
It faded.
And from within the darkness—
Evan emerged.
No longer the same.
No longer just a warrior of wind.
Something far worse stood in his place.
A being without a face.
No eyes. No mouth. No nose.
