*VWOOOM!*
A massive, suffocating wave of heavy gray energy exploded outward from the Warden. It didn't travel like a shockwave. It moved at the speed of light, washing over the entire plateau of the black glass mountain in a fraction of a microsecond.
The moment the gray light hit Sebastian, the universe simply turned off.
"GAAAAAAH!"
The scream that tore out of Sebastian wasn't a layered, distorted chorus of overlapping audio files. It was a raw, agonizing, completely human shriek of pure physical torment.
His majestic, terrifying eight-foot-tall avatar violently collapsed. The dark, bruised-purple error codes and jagged green wireframes that made up his glitch form didn't fade; they were aggressively, forcefully deleted from reality. The cracked porcelain mask that covered his face shattered into a million useless gray pixels, blowing away in the dead air.
*BING! BING! BING!*
