The projectile struck the opening.
For a brief moment, the entire chamber trembled as the two opposing forces collided. The dark maw distorted under the immense pressure, its edges rippling like a black hole struggling to contain something.

The dimensional maw slowly closed.
Lento stared at him, seemingly unable to accept what had just happened.
His artifact could consume incoming energy attacks and return them with twice the power. Yet Adam had simply swallowed the entire counterattack without allowing it to reach him.
"YOU...!"
His crimson aura erupted again.
