"ROOOOOAR!"
Karoth's roar thundered through the underground chamber. Dark energy burst from his body like a violent storm and black mist surged outward, swallowing everything in its path.
"Abyssal Corruption Aura!"
Boom!
The wave of pitch-black energy's eruption caused the ground beneath Karoth's feet melt and rot instantly, turning into foul, smoking sludge as the aura expanded in all directions.
Shhhrrraaaa!
The air screamed as the corrupted aura swept across the chamber. Walls blackened and cracked, metal supports groaned, and runes etched into the research base flared violently before shattering. Entire sections of the floor collapsed, falling into deeper layers as the aura devoured everything in its path.
The dark energy rushed toward Alex like a raging ocean, yet the moment it touched his body, it passed through.
Alex's figure flickered slightly, as if his body was half-real and half-illusory. The corrupted aura hissed and dispersed.
