Chapter 2380: The Dark City
The moment the hand made contact with Cain’s head, a violent current surged through every particle of his being. It managed to pierce his Lucid Dream and strike the Alter-Ego with a power that seemed to defy reality.
Right at that instant, something seemed to break within Cain’s soul and ego.
In less than a heartbeat, his eyes widened in shock as he felt it.
"My powers as a Dreamwalker... severed."
The realization struck like a blade.
That single fact carried terrifying implications. Without his Dreamwalker authority, he could no longer send his True Name beyond the bounds of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.
"If I die now... my True Name will cease to exist."
The danger and finality of that truth drained the light from Cain’s eyes. What replaced it was something far colder—an abyssal stillness that reached an unprecedented depth. His aura erupted instantly, flooding sky and earth alike. Even the suicidal True Depravitas froze mid-descent, their twisted instincts overwhelmed by primal terror.
"What a monster..."
The Immortal Knight felt that horror more clearly than anyone else. Yet even then, he did not falter. His eyes ignited with red light as a vortex of the same color manifested around both of them, consuming their figures in an instant.
Shock flashed through the eyes of the True Primordial of the Void and the Knights of the Scarlet Throne as Cain vanished completely. Not a trace of his presence remained anywhere within the Everstrife Empyrean World.
"Damn it!" Anark roared.
