In an instant, the ground erupted—every grain of sand lifted into the air as if gravity had suddenly vanished. The golden dust surged toward Ethan, wrapping around him like a living storm.
His vision vanished. All he could see was a swirling world of sand, a suffocating haze of yellow and the raging force of the Absolute Domain.
A crimson gleam flickered in Ethan's eyes. The power of the Domain of the Dead surged outward, pushing back against the encroaching sand. The two forces clashed, neither giving way, forming a massive sphere of sand that trapped Ethan at its center like a prisoner in a sealed tomb.
But that wasn't all.
Cyborg's psychic interference hit him next, followed by the Hunter's Mark locking onto his presence, and then the Spatial Lockdown snapped into place. All of it layered on top of him, one after another.
Ethan was now completely sealed off—cut off from the outside world in a closed-off battlefield.
