The Undying vs The Eternal Darkness (2)

Dilan's head burst open like a watermelon.

He had activated the True Undying Essence the moment he heard the word 'Burst' escaping Nial's mouth, but it would still take a second before his head would completely grow and attack itself properly.

However, it was not enough to stop Dilan just because his head burst open. He had trained himself in Astral Projection to counter such situations.

A Wisp of his Soul escaped his body to view everything around them. Thus, Dilan didn't even need eyes, let alone a head to see and process things as he had attained a profound mastery of Astral Projection.

Through his profound mastery of Astral Projection, Dilan's Soul could do everything his head would usually do!

That was also why he burst forward even with a headless body. He shrouded his sword in a layer of Destruction and pierced it into Nial's abdomen.
