Darkness exploded outward from Damian's position, spreading rapidly, engulfing the three attackers within seconds.
The ground beneath them turned black, absorbing light. The sky above shifted to blood-crimson, pulsing like a living thing.
And everywhere, scattered across the dark ground and hanging in the air, were bodies and manifestations of negative emotion.
The three attackers froze, their eyes going wide with shock.
"What?! How does he have a Domain at C rank?! That's impossible!"
But the Domain didn't care about their disbelief.
It activated fully, its mental pressure crashing into their minds like a tsunami.
Every negative emotion they'd ever felt suddenly surfaced with overwhelming intensity.
Guilt for people they'd killed! Sadness from losses they'd endured! Fear from moments when they'd been powerless! Anger at injustices real and imagined!
All of it magnified, concentrated and forced to the forefront of their consciousness.
'DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!'
