480 Abyssal Pillar

The dark figure did not stop his actions at that time. Right after the appearance of the 6th branch, he quickly grabbed the Abyss Transcendence Shard with his left hand, and with a motion comparable to that of a hungry man, the dark figure bit on the shard.

"Rawr!"

A sonorous roar of pain came from the dark figure as blood spurted out of his mouth, with the Transcendence Shard not affected by what he did. From the looks of it, it was the dark figure that was actually harmed by the Shard, and not the other way around.

As for why he was biting the shard, both General Glaivewood and Sir Xote raised their eyebrows as they knew the reason for that.

The dark figure's blood, which looked as black and viscous as oil, flowed freely towards the Transcendence Shard itself.

"Hong~"

The shard then glowed black after making contact with the blood, which was accompanied by the release of the same suppressive power that the energy flood had from earlier.
