The black needles quickly pierced the shattered Red Moon shield, and thirteen of them drove into Duo En in succession.
Concentrated power of darkness immediately flooded Duo En's entire body, corroding her tall, powerful puppet body.
She staggered and fell to her knees. Half her face had already rotted away in the darkness, and her body was beginning to fall apart.
