Chapter 97: Hollow World (6)

The abyss shuddered.. Not from movement.

Not from force.

But from presence.

The very absence that stretched infinitely, swallowing all things into its endless depth, seemed to struggle under the weight of the figure before Agon. The concept of darkness.. something so absolute, so unchallenged, buckled as if acknowledging something far worse within itself.

Haran was no more.

What stood before Agon was not the man he had once known.

The name.. Haran felt hollow now, an echo of a thing that no longer existed. The being before him, standing with quiet certainty, was something beyond that identity.

And it had a new name.

Darkness Angel.

Agon remained still.

His breathing even. His stance calm. His deep yellow eyes locked onto the figure before him with a gaze that betrayed nothing.. no fear, no anger, no hesitation. Just the same, calm, steady stillness.
