The dome churned for a few seconds, its surface rippling like water. Then, with a deep groan, it collapsed inward and burst apart into a wave of deathmist.
I narrowed my eyes.
From within, only one figure walked out. The giant was gone. No trace of its massive body remained.
Instead, the transcendent phantom stepped forward, and the weight of its presence slammed against me like a mountain falling from the sky.
It was taller now, its form stretched, towering almost twelve feet. The deathmist swirled around it in such density it looked less like smoke and more like a storm given flesh.
And the corruption…
I felt it instantly. The very air was unraveling faster. The earth beneath its feet blackened, rotting into ash. Even the strands of Essence in the atmosphere trembled, their flow disrupted and eaten away by the storm of deathmist.
My Psynapse pulsed in alarm, sending sharp warnings through my head. This wasn't the same being as before.
"So you consumed the giant…" I spoke.
