The darkness that spread across the ground consumed the entire field like a predator devouring its prey. The range of the domain extended to the size of a massive lake, vast and oppressive.

The endless darkness swallowed the trees and bushes in its path until it had created a completely blackened territory.

Crack.

Snap.

From the blackened ground, an eerie ash-like substance rose in wisps, akin to a heat haze.

It was foreboding.

And it was revolting.

“...”

The masked woman silently observed the ominous domain through the veil of her mask.

Her eyes darted, scanning the area to pinpoint the presence responsible for creating this space.

Suddenly—

Squish—!

“—!”

Her footing sank into the ground, throwing her balance off.

And then—

Shiiing—!!!

A sharp spike shot up from the ground, aimed directly at her neck.

She moved swiftly, slicing through the spike with her energy-forged sword.

Planting her strength into her legs, she yanked herself free and leapt back to create distance.

But—

Swoosh—!!

Countless hands erupted from the ground, clawing toward her.@@novelbin@@

Seeing this, the woman prepared to swing her sword again, only to feel a sudden grip on her back.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The master of the domain had already appeared behind her.

Before she could break free, her neck was seized, and her perspective spun as she was hurled violently to the ground.

Thud—!!

Her body sank into the earth, engulfed by the sticky sensation of mud as though she were being buried alive.
