Face the Darkness (Part 2)

Everything inside the black pillar had its energy sucked dry, be it Jormun, his magical equipment, or the Golden Griffon itself. Hystar screamed in pain as Chaos coursed his stone body, further weakening the cloaking devices and hastening the Eyes' scan.

"You are wrong, big brother." Lith focused on Solus' stone ring, needing sheer willpower to stop the Chaos from reaching it and the pillar from fully forming. "I'm already dead and so are you.

"The only difference between us is that you still don't know it."
