"Who are you?"
In the pitch-black space, the massive Divine Beast loomed like a sculpture, its serrated mouth casting a diagonal blue beam of light downward.
A young man dressed in black stood silently in the beam, his back to Lin Fei. The longsword hanging at his waist was the black longsword that was in Lin Fei's hand just a moment ago.
Lin Fei's questioning voice echoed continuously within the space, but the man did not answer, merely standing silently in the beam.
"Click!"
A tiny crack suddenly spread out. Like a spiderweb, it permeated the entire space.
"Clang!" At the last moment, Lin Fei vaguely saw the man draw the longsword from his waist. A deep voice faintly reached him.
"Sword Heart Chain."
In an instant, his vision was filled with countless silver rings spinning and swirling.

"Phew!"
He suddenly opened his eyes.
