His arms slashed down, warping the surrounding space. Ugly fissures ran along the empty air as an invisible, silent blade cleaved everything in its path in halves.
Eyes alight with hope, he gazed as the strike reached the unbreakable dome of darkness in the blink of an eye.

As he did, a loud noise drew his attention back. The almost snuffed embers of hope and greed in his heart reignited at maximum strength as he gazed at the darkness.
Gradually, the elemental blade emerged as inky black tendrils gripped it, trying to hold it back like tentacles. Despite its fierce struggle, trashing and cutting the wrapping darkness, the blade lost the confrontation and vanished.
