Alex stood in the suffocating darkness of the [Master's Domain], his senses strained to their limits.
The void around him was absolute, a black expanse that swallowed all light and sound.
He couldn't see anything, no walls, no floor, no sky.
Just an endless, oppressive darkness that seemed to press down on him from all sides.
His left arm was gone, severed by Isolde's relentless attacks, and the pain was a constant, throbbing reminder of his vulnerability.
[Destiny Shift], his usual lifeline, was useless here.
This domain blocked all skills, leaving him with nothing but his wits and the abilities he had activated before being trapped.
"Do you believe you can win?"
Isolde's voice echoed through the void, taunting him.
The [Grand Mage Master]'s laughter was cold and mocking, a sound that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.
Then, without warning, the darkness shifted.
Fwish! Slash!
