BANG!!!!!!!
-999
A bright red number appeared above Murder's head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The corners of Killer's mouth lifted slightly, and large amounts of liquid determination spilled from her mouth.
With that slash, Murder lost control of his magic, and the shock waves in the sky returned to the Void.
CRAAASH!!-
The force of the knife's blow sent Murder crashing into the ground like a cannonball, kicking up clouds of dust.

It was a white like the Anti-Void, so white that it was impossible to keep one's eyes open.
The clown, the audience, the animal tamer-everything seemed as though it had never existed. The only change was the slash wound on Murder's body.
