The moment Vivian spoke the two words "Xi Realm," strange wiggly shadows that looked alive began to stretch out from his body.
They moved fast, too fast, and were so dark that they reflected no light at all.
The shadows slithered and twisted like living creatures, rushing toward the professor, who was still frozen in midair by Charlotte's time spell.
Whosh… Whosh…
In the blink of an eye, the shadows grew thicker and longer until they surrounded both Vivian and the professor.
Soon, they formed a giant swirling vortex that spun wildly, pulling in the air around it.
The entire arena trembled from the pressure, and dust lifted into the air.
Charlotte, who had just landed on the ground, gasped for breath.
Her face was pale, sweat dripping down her forehead as she stared at the vortex in shock.
"Vivian…" she whispered, her voice shaking.
The vortex kept spinning faster and faster, its sound like a roaring storm.
