章 284: Heroine Get Temporary Peace

Maris stood over Nyx, her chest heaving with effort as she raised her hand, ready to finish her off. Nyx lay on the ground, bloodied and battered, unable to defend herself. But just as Maris prepared to land the final blow, something strange happened.

A thick, black substance began to swirl around Nyx's body, like tendrils of shadow wrapping around her. Maris froze, her instincts warning her that something was terribly wrong. The black mass enveloped Nyx completely, covering her from head to toe.

"Stop." Lucan said.

But the black mass ignored his command, slipping away into nothingness as if it had never existed. Maris immediately activated her scan ability, her eyes glowing as she searched the area. There was nothing. No trace of Nyx, no hint of the black substance, as though it had never been there.

Frowning, she expanded her scan, stretching it to cover the entire region. She found nothing.
