The Enemy Retreats

When I released the beast from my shields, the entire world started to change.

Instead of darkness, light prevailed! My shields' counterattack started, and it held light to vanquish darkness while I ended up not seeing anything in both cases.

The next moment, I didn't care about anything else anymore and severed the connection with my brutal bones.

The bones already turned into specks of light. And when I stopped absorbing them, they condensated, turning into a smaller version of what they initially were.

If they were miniature in size before, that small size got even smaller. They lost at least half of their mass, and that meant I absorbed half of their energy during the process.

I turned around and all I could see was blinding light. Even if I couldn't see anything outside, I still held my pillar and kept creating more shields.
