After exactly five seconds, the sphere of void energy reached its peak, which was roughly twice the size of a soccer ball, its surface rippling with power.
The darkness within it was absolute, a perfect void that seemed to hunger for everything around it.
Remembering the description of the skill, and what the Void King did before, Leon smiled faintly before swinging his staff upward, which sent the void sphere flying upward into the air.
It lingered there for a second, and after losing its momentum, it fell down toward Leon, its descent slow and deliberate, as if the void itself was savoring the moment.
Seeing it drop, Celeste, Violet and Emilia quickly backed away, their eyes fixed on the sphere, their bodies tensed for what was to come.
At the same time, the Soul Soldier seemed to have finally managed to survive Celeste's attack, its body slowly recovering as the cracks in its soul stabilized.
