"...."
Silence prevailed in the black bloody place.....except,
'step, step'
'Drip, Drip'
Eli walked through the dark, bloody place, his footsteps echoing in the eerie silence.
Drips of black blood fell from his shoes, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
He observed Celestria and Ember, 'They are Evolving' he thought.
During the battle, he noticed the weapons drawing out the mana he had stored in his body, although it was a minuscule amount....It never happened before.
Eli also found it intriguing that the black Faunmia, which were tough to cut through with his strength, had been easily sliced apart.
He hypothesized that the dark mana released by his weapons might weaken the monsters' dark mana, but he wasn't entirely sure. He considered the other possibility that the second form strengthened his physical abilities beyond those of a typical Domain Realm Cultivator, allowing him to cut through the creatures more easily.
