Two beams of light—one black as ink, the other white as snow—burst forth from Xiao Ning's pupils. They twisted upward into the air, circling one another like twin dragons before slowly merging into a single glowing diagram.
It hovered there briefly, rotating with a steady rhythm. A deep hum filled the air, and the world seemed to still around it.
The Asura Diagram.
As it spun, it descended gently toward the faceless man.
Let's see if this works.

—and the creature began to change.
Its body became transparent, like glass melting into light. A moment later, it completely dissolved, breaking into two distinct beams of light—one black, one white.
These two lights spun around each other a final time and reformed the same diagram again, brighter and more refined than before.
