The little girl's body jerked once beneath the blade, but Yunfeng didn't immediately pull it out. Something still felt wrong. The strange pressure around her hadn't disappeared, and the moment he tried to summon even the smallest spark of electricity, nothing happened.
His expression slowly changed.
The nullifying ability was still active.
His power hadn't returned.
Neither had his enhanced speed.
He looked down at himself, then caught a strand of his hair between his fingers. The white hair that normally appeared whenever he used his powers was completely black now, hanging against his face in a way that made him look strangely different.
Zei, who had finally recovered enough to move properly, noticed it as well.
"Yunfeng…"
"Hm?"
"Your hair."
Yunfeng glanced at him.
"It's still black."
Yunfeng reached up and slowly ran his fingers through his hair. He sighed heavily, already imagining the reaction waiting for him when he returned.
