Chapter 570: Weakening

The Great Calamity's eyes were wide with horror, its once smug grin twisted into an expression of pure shock. It stared at Erend and its monstrous face contorted as if it had glimpsed something beyond even its comprehension.

The creature's mind reeled, desperately trying to understand what had just happened. When it attempted to absorb Erend's soul, it had instead encountered something it could not fathom. It was a vast, bottomless pit of black abyss. A darkness so deep and consuming that even the Great Calamity, a being of corruption, recoiled in fear.

"What… what are you?" the Great Calamity muttered, its voice trembling for the first time, dripping with disbelief.

Erend gritted his teeth, his body trembling from the pain that come from the deep wound in his shoulder and the unbearable sensation of having his soul touched by the Great Calamity.
