One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The crystal's color began to change.
From dark purple to a purplish black, then to a grayish purple...
The liquid substance flowing within the cracks went from boiling to dry, from dry to solid.
Finally... CRACK.
A fissure split across the crystal's surface, running through its entire body.
Deep within the fissure, there was nothing. It was like a hollowed-out eggshell.
"Sever!"
A low growl escaped Ian's throat as he abruptly clenched his fists.
The Gravity Vortex contracted to its absolute limit, then... erupted!
An invisible shockwave swept through the entire room.
Bookshelves exploded, walls cracked, and rubble rained down from the ceiling.
The crystal, like a crushed glass ball, silently shattered into countless fine particles.
The moment the scattered dust was touched by the Purification Starlight, it vanished completely.
At the same time, a hoarse, inhuman howl erupted from the bed!
