An overwhelming negative energy locked onto them.

"Did it just talk?" Eulene circulated Qi through her entire body, getting rid of the Yin energy that surrounded her. "What happened?" Even her immortal eyes could not see through the darkness. All she could sense was a presence—a dangerous one at that.

"It evolved, and created a parallel space that is even more detached from the other spaces." Xavier answered. The red glowing smile on his mask was the only visible mark in the darkness. [And it looks like Doctor Heart's consciousness began to merge with that of the Curse. In other words, its intelligence increased.]

[What do you mean by 'evolve'?] Increased intelligence meant they could not reveal their plans to the creature anymore, Eulene thought.

Her entire focus was on the lingering presence in this endless darkness, warier than she ever was. She knew how information about the opponents 'authorities' mattered in such battles. She had to learn it the hard way—by sacrificing her heart, even if it was a momentary event.

[It computed our battle tactics] Xavier responded [and came up with the necessary adjustments in authority it needed to counter us. This was definitely done by Doctor Hearts. Host affecting the Curse's consciousness. That's definitely rare, but not impossible; especially since a brilliant but psychotic killer is the host. Beware, our previous strategy is most probably rendered ineffective.]

[What shall we do then?] Eulene asked. It's not like they have used their full strengths yet. But the opponent was unusual, capable of bending the laws of physics. And she knew that it had yet to use its full strength yet.

[Even if they can defy the laws of physics] The red smile on the endless darkness became even more apparent [they can't defy the law of equivalent exchange. To gain new authorities or to enhance pre-existing ones, they need to give up certain authorities]

Something flickered in the darkness beside Xavier. An orb of light grew from the spark. Flame danced around the orb while blue lightning occasionally cursed through the whole phenomenon.

Since the duo conversed through transmissions, only a second passed in real time. Xavier and Eulene suddenly felt a strong foreboding.

As they were prepared, the duo disappeared from their spots appeared a few meters away. The light, flame, and the lightning disappeared as well, but they never reappeared.

Eulene also felt the space near her disappear.

Xavier and Eulene subconsciously glanced at each other through the darkness.

It could steal space from two points at once!

[Let's test it out!] Eulene transmitted before slashing her sword at the presence. It was one of those stronger slashes that tore through the monster's 'storage space' last time.

As expected, the translucent sword Qi disappeared once it got close to its target. But unlike before, the Qi could not escape anymore.

Xavier, who was observing everything, transmitted, [It's storage are is reinforced. The power of that slash is not enough to break through]

[I lost link to the Qi!] Eulene declared.

[What do you mean?] The red on his mask slithered to a question mark. But soon, his question was answered.

The sword Qi appeared just beside him, shooting at him with unbelievable speed. It came without any warnings, rendering Xavier unable to dodge.

[I can't control it!] Eulene yelled in his mind.

The slash hit Xavier right at the chest. His formal black coat tore apart as he the force of the attack hurled him away.

But a few moments later, he stabilised himself. Blood gushed out from the large wound on his chest. But the injury healed at a visible rate while his clothes repaired themselves. Even the blood was wiped away. Everything returned to normal, as if nothing happened.

[I felt the Curse's energy signature—the one you call Yin energy—from the sword strike now. Hypothetically, it means that it can corrupt whatever it steals into its own] Xavier stated. [And we don't know its limits. So, for now, avoid using attacks that are… too powerful]

Eulene nodded. For now, their approach should of testing waters. Against its newfound authority, even being too powerful was not an advantage. Worst case, it could also be a drawback.

The more Eulene thought how challenging of an opponent the evolved, possessed Doctor Hearts was, the more excited she became.

"Die…" the subtle—almost whisper like—but eerie voice resounded through the air again.

Both Xavier and Eulene sensed an abnormality in their senses. Something was coming at them, and fast. But no matter how much they focused their eyes, they could not discern anything.

Nevertheless, they dodged. And fortunately, the wave they felt with their senses did not follow them, nor touch them.

Nothing happened. However, the duo were curious. What were these?

Xavier decided to experiment. Hundreds hat sized light orbs formed in the black space, scattered everywhere. The entire dark space was somewhat illuminated.

The duo discovered that somewhere at the distant, there was a wall of darkness. It was as if the darkness was condensed there—too strongly to let puny particles of photons to pass through.

The overwhelming negative energy that they had sensed was constantly streaming out of that mound of blackness. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

It was the place where the Paranormal had cooped up.

The abnormalities they had sensed the last time came at them again. Even in the light, they could not see anything.

Hence, they decided to evade again. But Xavier had another plan in his mind. He moved some of the light orbs suspending in the air to the incoming waves' paths.

He focused much of his consciousness on the particle 0s—the photons—that were in his control.

And soon enough, he discovered what those waves here. Before he could arrange his thoughts, several of those waves appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them, closing their distance with the duo with breakneck speed.

The red smile on his

"Beware!" Xavier warned.

"They can cut through space itself!"
