Benjamin soon discovered that he couldn't get in at all.
There was a force in the domain that rejected all external forces, including the original owner of the domain.
"I can't enter the domain. What's that thing wrapped around Shannon?" Despite doing his best to stay calm, Benjamin's voice trembled with anxiety and anger.
Louise pressed her lips together and remained focused on trying to reclaim control of the domain, but she glanced at him.
After a long pause, she slowly explained, "If I'm not mistaken, that's the soul shard of the Ten-Tailed Elythune."
They'd expected the Ten-Tailed Elythne's illusion to be the only entity deep within Shannon's consciousness, and it was shocking to learn that there was another piece of its soul shard.
The soul shard had accidentally connected with Shannon's inner world and was awakened through the domain.
Shannon wasn't just carrying some ancestral bloodline; she was the reincarnation of the Ten-Tailed Elythune!
…
Shannon, the topic of concern, had no idea what was going on in the outside world.
When she was suddenly pulled into the embrace of the Ten-Tailed Elythune, she felt an unusual sense of harmony.
That feeling seemed to have stripped her of all thought and drawn her deep into it. She could barely muster the urge to resist.
She forgot what she'd been doing. All she knew was that this person was holding her and wrapping her layer by layer with those powerful, soft tails.
Her vision slowly dimmed until she was swallowed by complete darkness. Everything around her seemed to fall into chaos, and she instinctively stopped struggling.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but a glow appeared in the endless black. A familiar golden light emerged from her wrist.
Shannon opened her eyes and saw the golden band symbolizing her contract with Benjamin light up.
A moment of clarity returned to her mind, and when she realized she was trapped in darkness, she began struggling again.
…
In the other subdomains, every contestant was locked in battle with illusions of their lingering attachments when they felt a tremor run through the space.
Immediately after, the illusions in front of them began to lose their mystic light and weaken.
Skylar had the others had no idea what was going on, but they instinctively seized the chance to launch their attacks.
In the subdomains, nearly half of the lingering-attachment-born illusions instantly perished. As they vanished, they turned into countless streams of mystic light and rushed toward a single direction.
All the mystic light streaming through the cracks flooded into Shannon's body.
Bathed in their brilliance, a golden glint flashed in her eyes.
As overwhelming spiritual energy surged out, she called out, "Strike!"
