"Gasp!"
Reign opened his eyes and took a deep breath before sitting up.
He glanced around him, only to see white everywhere.
"What … what happened?"
"You died," Aethion said with a sigh as Reign furrowed his brows before thinking back to what happened after he had killed the Stalkers.
The Soulbeast had appeared behind him, and in that one instant, he suddenly saw the world go black.
Upon recollecting and thinking further, he realized that the beast had actually smacked down with an open palm that was reinforced by corruption and some soul power. The world in front of his eyes did turn black, but that was because the palm had encompassed a large portion of the jungle, blocking out any light before hitting him.
He wasn't able to resist for even an instant. He wasn't able to defend against the attack, and he felt nothing as the palm had squashed him instantly, killing him before he was able to even comprehend what had happened.
