When did this slip into my pocket…?
Before he could throw it away, the crescent pulsed violently.
Danger screamed across his senses.
'Fuck—'
He grabbed it and tried to fling it away...
But the item turned ethereal in his grip!
It was expanding into a swirling illusion-like cloud!
The cloud enveloped him, wrapping around his body like suffocating mist.
He swung his blood blades, attempting to disperse it...
But it felt like his attacks sliced into empty space!
Within seconds, the world outside grew distant...
As though he was isolated from it!
He looked around, heart pounding.
The cloud around him formed an endless void, swallowing sound and light.
His body felt numb...
This is… an isolation item.
His mind raced.
He had a vague idea of what it was.
It was an item enhanced by Celestia's [Authority of Omnipresence]...
One meant to isolate a person completely from the outside world.
Outside his prison, Celestia spoke coldly.
