The numerous black hands rapidly approached the group, swarming them. It was as though there were an endless amount of them coming from a void.
It did not take long for Hex, Layla, and Apollo to be surrounded, covered by their shadows.
At that moment, a wave of purple energy burst out of Hex. All of the black hands were blown back helplessly and crashed into the walls. It was as though they were autumn leaves blown aside by a strong gust of wind.
A bright light appeared above Oddryl's finger before dimming. At the same time, Layla had brought her claw forward, tensing her fingers.
A beam of light shot out from Oddryl, while a shockwave rippled from Layla.
The explosion reverberated throughout the empire.
The beam of light exploded upon contact with Layla's shockwave and was then blown back towards Oddryl. It was as though the beam of light was a baseball, thrown by the pitcher, Oddryl, before being hit back by the swinger, Layla.
