"Next, it's your turn!" After sealing Lin Bing away, the man in black looked toward us. Black bands of light instantly gathered, and I almost instinctively threw myself to the side, narrowly dodging the Black Coffin's restraint.
Rui Xin beside me refused to be outdone. She unleashed powerful sonic waves one after another, but every one of them scattered just before hitting its target, posing no threat at all! Without a doubt, Amantha had some means of making sonic waves collapse, but there was no way for us to figure out how.

"Crystal Blade!"
With a crisp crack, the blade condensed into dazzling blood crystals. Shimmering crystal light spread crimson ripples through the void, and at the slightest contact, the blade split the Black Coffin apart—unstoppable, yet retaining its elegance.

"Sublime? You think far too highly of yourself!"
