The thunder struck the bright pearl to no effect. The pearl seemed to have swallowed its power whole.
Then a mass of shadow rose and swiftly engulfed all of Marquis Wu's Residence. Though it had been broad daylight, the estate seemed to plunge into night in an instant. Stars were even faintly visible within the darkness...
