Chapter 1651: Moonless Reflection
Everything seemed to freeze for the Sorcerer as Cain’s right eye began to glow.
Suddenly, the world around him was drained of color—time itself warped, and everything turned black and white. Cain vanished from sight in an instant, his presence seemingly erased from existence. But that was only the beginning.
A wave of dread swept over the Sorcerer as every ounce of his power flickered out like dying stars. His energy vanished. The spell he had been preparing crumbled into nothingness.
“What… is happening?”
A mixture of fear and confusion gripped his ancient heart. Looking up to the sky, his eyes widened in horror. A black moon loomed above, its surface eerily similar to Cain’s glowing right eye. It hovered there like an omen, casting an oppressive shadow across the monochrome dimension.
“An illusion!” he spat.
As a master of countless arcane disciplines, it didn’t take the Sorcerer long to understand what was happening. He immediately gathered his willpower and soul force, preparing to shatter the illusion like he had done countless times before. But this time—nothing happened.
His heart began to pound as he tried again. And again. But his power remained locked away. His soul force was sealed and even his willpower was inaccessible.
“What… what is wrong with me?!” he growled, panic beginning to set in. “It’s like—I’m nothing more than a mortal!”
The fear that followed was unlike anything he had ever known. In all his millions of years, he had never encountered an illusion that could suppress his very essence. This wasn’t some hallucination—it was a prison that stripped him of all strength, all control.
“You cannot escape.”
