The moment Corey had the thought of creating a new spell, the colossal shadow attacked.
Its eyes flared with madness and hatred, and then it opened its jaws and roared.
The power behind its roar could be seen as the clouds dissipated and were no more.
A jagged spear of condensed shadow energy, more twisted and dense than the previous shadow spears and even the beams it had unleashed in the past, manifested in the monster's hand and was thrown toward Corey like a black comet.
Corey's body blurred.
Black lightning surged across his legs and feet, and in less than a fraction of a second, he used Flash Step.
CLAP!
The sound of an extremely loud thunderclap echoed far and wide, and then he vanished.
The spear passed through where he had just hovered and tore through the airspace above the Dying City, carving a deep rift in the clouds and striking a building in the distance.
That building didn't explode. No. It was devoured by shadows that exploded out of the spear.
