Cain propelled himself toward the black cocoon, his body streaking through the air with immense speed. The momentum behind his charge caused the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd to glow like a miniature sun, star power raging at its tip.
He was a mere two hundred meters from smashing into the cocoon when it suddenly began spinning with incredible force. This whirlwind of energy twisted space-time around it, creating a violent gravitational force.
Cain gritted his teeth in frustration. "That cunning monster," he thought. Nevertheless, he refused to abandon his attack and brought the halberd down in a sweeping slash.
"BOOOOOMMMM!"
A jarring explosion erupted upon contact, but Cain's strike lacked the full impact he had hoped for. The spinning vortex acted like a colossal centrifuge, flinging him back before he could follow through.
