The dazzling radiance exploded throughout the pitch-black space, those entwined arms shredded with ease like thin paper, turning to dust scattered in the darkness.
The light that originally illuminated the 'platform' suddenly dimmed, and the platform under the light began to disintegrate from the edges like melting snow as the radiance faded.
In that instant, the whole pitch-black space began to shake violently.
During this shaking, Serat revealed a look of dismay for the first time as he turned his head toward He Ao, his eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment, his waist and abdomen had completely turned into a void, the dazzling golden radiance targeting him and, after piercing through his body, also piercing through the twisted luminance within that dark mass of arms.
Although the great hollow wound caused by the Corona of Radiance weakened much of Serat's power, it had not killed him.
