The red numbers continued counting down before Noan's eyes.
The black door ahead had no visible seams. Several layers of thick biological armor covered its surface, while the red veins running within it pulsed in rhythm with the entire War Nest.
Monica had just stepped forward and placed her hand against one corner of the door when Noan spoke.
"Step back."
She paused briefly but asked no questions and immediately moved aside.
The Abyss Cube in Noan's hand rapidly extended into a black sword. Void energy covered the blade first, followed by silver threads of Spatial Authority coiling around it.
Noan didn't aim at the center of the door.
He focused on the point where the biological armor connected to the wall, then swung his sword.
A black line, so thin it was nearly invisible, flashed past.
