The moment I opened my eyes, all that greeted me was… nothing.
"This…" I was taken aback. For a moment I could only stare, wondering if I'd spawned in a different location.
The bright lights, the surrounding spatial defenses, the distant stars—they were all gone. The region had become well and truly dark.
"Dante… this… what… how?" Xuan's confused and shocked voice echoed through the darkness.
I could feel the sheer amount of shock running through the man just by the tone of his voice, and I couldn't blame him. I didn't know what it would've looked like watching everything you swore to protect get devoured one after the other by some indescribable force, but I'd imagine it as something not very pretty.
Hell, I'd wager that the only reason the man hadn't reacted even more strongly pertained to the fact that he genuinely trusted I wasn't doing anything harmful to his inheritance, but the shock obviously still remained.
