The shadow stared hard at Ethan as he stood there with his eyes closed.
The suspicion was still there.
But in the end, its hunger for that energy sphere crushed whatever caution it had left.
It shifted a Stellar Core behind its back.
The deep-blue orb pressed close to its spine, the spatial force inside it rapidly collapsing inward. The next instant, the Stellar Core detonated violently behind the shadow.
Boom!
All the blast's thrust was focused in a single direction.
The shadow's body was launched forward on a wave of deep-blue impact. Both drill heads tore through air and space alike, ripping a path as it shot straight at Ethan at maximum speed.
Ethan watched it rush him, cold as ice.
