Finally, after hours of nonstop screaming, the two glowing cocoons began to crack.
The horned ape froze for a moment, then let out a triumphant roar.
The black-scaled wolf's eyes lit up.
Dahlia, upon seeing the scene, smirked.
"…There it is."
The cocoon around Eliza shattered first, breaking apart into fading fragments of pale gray light.
The wolf lunged straight toward her position, jaws wide open.
And then...
Nothing.
The wolf bit through empty air.
It skidded forward, claws digging into the ground, confused.
"…?"
It lifted its head slowly.
Eliza was gone.
Completely gone.
The wolf spun around, growling, searching desperately, but no matter what...
It couldn't find her.
At the same time, Clara's cocoon exploded apart in a burst of violet light.
The horned ape didn't hesitate.
It swung its massive fist straight down at her in the mist.
The punch landed at her body...
And passed straight through.
Then...
Her body just dissolved into violet mist.
