Dog-man Reed reacted quickly, roaring as his body instantly swelled to a five-meter tall combat form, his sturdy arms sweeping with a muffled sound that tore through the air, soon intercepting those shadow tendrils.
There was no loud collision, only a dull energy burst.
The tendrils were slapped apart by Reed's immense strength, transforming into a mass of swirling black smoke, but the smoke did not disappear. Instead, it writhed swiftly, as if alive, trying to reassemble.
The other tendrils hit by Reed also behaved in the same way, scattered but not extinguished.

Duke extended a finger, from which a beam of light instantly shot out. After being struck by the beam, the tendrils immediately emitted black smoke and soon melted away like ice and snow.
"As expected, it requires Light Attribute energy to counter, and it works quite well." After observing Reed's battle with the tendrils, he had roughly guessed this.
