Complete darkness filled the entire cathedral.
It was the kind of dark that carried weight to it, as if something eerie settled over the entire space with the disappearance of light.
Damon heard the monster's movements before his eyes could even adjust to the sudden dark.
It came fast, displacing air around it as if its movements were about to break the sound barrier.
CLANG!
Damon raised his blade on pure instinct, blocking the enemy strike at the last possible moment.
Before the monster could pivot, he already summoned the Dark Knight, his summon swinging his own weapon the second he appeared.
Then he finally saw it, the dark plate of metal that made for its visor, its empty gaze staring right at him just as Ivy's flames burst to life, casting a faint light across the chamber.
Its gaze held on Damon for a long moment before it turned toward Ivy, and the monster suddenly vanished, reappearing in front of her with a speed that almost matched Damon's shadow step.
