For a brief moment, nothing happened.
The golden eyes remained fixed upon him. The terrifying pressure continued descending, causing Michael's consciousness to tremble.
Then a terrifying roar suddenly erupted throughout the dark space.
ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!
Michael's entire consciousness shook. Unlike the pressure from the golden eyes, this roar wasn't directed at him. It came from somewhere impossibly distant. And yet, the moment it sounded, the entire space trembled violently. The connections of fate surrounding Michael began snapping apart. Even the darkness itself seemed to distort.
Michael couldn't understand what was happening. He only knew that something had answered his call.
The golden eyes shifted their attention away from Michael for the first time since becoming fixated on him.
Michael didn't waste the opportunity. He immediately gathered what remained of his consciousness before attempting to escape.
This time… it worked!
Crack!
