In the second-in-command's gaze of indescribable fear,
that hand seemed to compress layers of space, penetrating the void and stirring ripples, as if it encompassed the entire universe, cutting off all paths to vitality between heaven and earth, thunderously covering his head.
The second-in-command's entire body was frozen in the void, unable to move a single bit.
He watched helplessly as that hand slowly covered his face.
And then,
Crack, crack...
The space shattered like glass, with a crisp sound reverberating in the second-in-command's mind, his entire body, like a shadow in a mirror, splintered and crushed as the mirror cracked.
"So, this is the sound of space breaking..."
With one last thought flashing past his mind, the second-in-command's consciousness plunged into a deep abyss, never seeing light again.
Crash!
Amid the clear sound of splashing water, a blue light rippled from within the carriage.
The curtain on the carriage moved without wind, slowly lifting.
