It happened so fast.
One minute the juggernauts surrounded Richard, Kaylan, and Darwin, intent on taking their lives, the next, they were skewered by solid darkness.
Those that understood the next course of action had complicated expressions while those in the dark were left speechless as terror grew in their hearts.
Kaylan was already terrifying initially but now that she had devoured Richard's Stone… it was a horrible feeling.
The pressure on their souls worsened as they contemplated suicide just to escape from the torture.
"Cedric…" Max called out weakly as he coughed up the Philosopher Stone and handed it over.
Cedric frowned slightly before picking it up and swallowing it.
Whoosh
His aura had a qualitative leap allowing him to create an aura field that helped the others to survive under the pressure of Kaylan's evolved form.
Holding on to Max's hand, Laura muttered a short prayer with only one desire.
