Damian attacked with a single sword, and the Second Depth Pressure split apart. A wound opened across Ervin's chest, and he retreated several steps, blood falling onto the black sea beneath his feet.
The Sword God Palace disciples shouted with wild excitement.
But Ervin looked down at the wound, then raised his eyes. The broken gate behind him opened a little more.
"Abyssal Origin Descent."
His voice was still calm.
"Gate of the Second Depth."
Boom!
The gate opened, and a darkness deeper than the black sea appeared beyond it. The entire arena trembled. Damian's Bleeding Sword Severance pressed forward, but the moment the Gate of the Second Depth opened, the abyss stopped retreating.
The black sea rose in a terrifying column behind Ervin, and a pressure far heavier than before descended onto Damian's sword heaven.
The sword palace shook. The sword altar trembled. Even the empty throne above the sword heaven seemed to be pulled downward by the depth beyond the gate.
