A tiny, invisible point of infinite density appeared not in front of him, but inside the path of the shadow spear, just before it struck. The gravitational vortex was minute but devastating. The spear of darkness twisted in on itself, its coherent form violently destabilized as it was sucked into the microscopic abyss. It dissipated into harmless wisps mere inches from Julian's skin.
The creature, its ultimate attack failed and its structure already compromised by the feedback from the embedded nullifier, let out a final, silent shriek of agony. The central violet core flickered wildly.
