The atmospheric Mana erupted as pitch-black threads, tinged with shades of black-purple, exploded from Reo's body like a rippling drape of darkness.
The black Mana converged and surged skyward. Dark clouds brewed and twirled above like a spinning top, as a heavy wind swept the surroundings with a pervasive gloom.
The air around Reo trembled. The silk chord binding his feral hair snapped, and his black hair merged with the undulating waves of black Mana. The darkness gathered around him like an ominous shroud, with black strands filtering through the air.
Reo's Mana exploded like a detonation. His eyes were consumed by a wrathful purple radiance, and his expression contorted as the world seemed to bend around him.
The Minotaur froze. Then it trembled.
Reo turned around and took a step back. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and shards of earth levitated and orbited around him.
