Arin felt a heavy jolt backward on his right hand. However, it was not strong enough to overpower him. He summoned his 'Venom Fangs' in both hands and severed the thread with the dagger in his left hand, slicing through it like a hot knife through butter.
To his surprise, the dagger didn't just sever the thread. A dark corruption immediately began spreading along its length.
One tendril of corruption reached the sticky ball still attached to Arin's right hand.
It turned into a black, withered mass, losing its luster and stickiness. With a gentle shake of his hand, the now-dark blob detached and disintegrated into dark dust.
Meanwhile, the corruption spread rapidly through the other thread. Arin rushed to find the source of the white thread. He heard a loud, inhuman shriek not far away, and the thread dropped to the ground. Arin realized the thread's creator had severed it before the corruption could reach its main body.
