Despite the screams that accompanied his flight, Lai Mingjie didn't even look back at what he did. He only wanted to reach the source of the blood chains without being caught in it. As he was rushing inward while the chains go the opposite way, the strands were having a hard time moving to catch him. It was as if the gate soon gave up as it went to catch the fleeing ones instead.
Lai Mingjie's red eyes glared at the black hole where the chains originated. His right hand reformed the black claw while having white veins crawling along the skin. He then grabbed the chains and forced his entry inside the expanding hole.
His speed suddenly vanished, and he felt like he had grown light-headed. When he came to, he was inside the void… no light to even see himself. It was as if he was just a consciousness drifting in the darkness.
"Emodao, how reckless of you…"
