And Phei reappeared exactly there but the air around him had turned red when he appeared before hundreds of hands erupted from nothingness tearing reality!
They were enormous, sculpted from compressed blood and dense enough to cast crimson shadows across the mirrored winter. Some were human. Others ended in talons, armoured knuckles or fingers long enough to encircle towers. Every palm carried the full cultivation weight of a World Transcendent, and the Vampire Lady filled the sky with them until Phei saw nothing beyond interlocking crimson fingers closing from every direction and every tiny space that would've allowed him escape with his void steps.
His Void-Ice eyes widened: She'd left no space open and his senses wouldn't go past her closes hands... he was trapped when the first clap struck.
A colossal impact encompassed and consumed him whole!
