His gaze wandered around the carverns, siphoning the light from any crystals he stared at before settling back on the Charizard.

"Is it much futher?"

<-
Their light was immediately absorbed by him without warning. It wasn't something he would turn off, even at his own benefit. He could at least appreciate the meal he's had so far. He got to drain the life of a paradox creature.

<-
He turned his gaze to the side, he was hoping to just snatch the crystal and go. Now he needed a new plan.

<-
While he usually had no problem with maiming another or taking a life. She was a special case.

"Well, that complicates things. Here, I was hoping to regain my true form a little sooner."

The sarcasm was gone by now. Instead, it was just mild annoyance.

<-
with a tone that was dripping with sarcasm. His hand wrapped around her wrist, gripping it tight enough to ensure that any attempt to flee would be difficult. If not impossible.

"Yeah, I guess removing your crystal would be painful."
->

<-
"You'll be left with just enough to live."

<-
"Anyway, I'm not here to absorb you. I've learned that a power like that is only temporary. What I want is your Z crystal."

He explained while slipping his hands into his pockets.

"I still intend to feast upon your light, so don't get your hopes up."
->

<-
He knew the answers already. Honestly, it didn't matter if she gave one or not. He just wanted to make sure she fully understood what happened when he was denied.

<-
His eyeless gaze locked itself on her. His voice echoed in the back of her head.

[Why should I stop now? You didn't seem to care earlier.]

He lightly waved a claw in the air, scattering the remains of the pokemon into the wind.

[What changed?]

He continued.

<-
The shade let out a somewhat disappointed noise before returning to the drake.

"Anyway, carry on."

<-
"What power and wealth would you receive from a God that is the end of all things?"

He asked before biting into the paradox mon and viciously draining whatever life remained in it. It finally went still after a few minutes.

<-
Anything the prism touched would simply cease to function, becoming dull and lifeless. Even the very concept of color would leave the bodies of anything unfortunate enough to be in his path.

<-
It was the only warning this area would receive before seemingly endless slashes ripped through the land randomly.

The violent, life-rending claws of a rampaging Necrozma would tear through the forest.
->

<-
"Damn bat."

He said between grit teeth, unaware that he'd been clenching his own jaw hard enough to make his gums bleed profusely.

A bright light illuminated the area briefly, not enough to reveal the fleeing Mahina, but it was enough to illuminate Blight.
->

<-
The one thing that made it truly unbearable is to know that relief was so close to being in his grasp.

Maybe he should wipe this island clean of life. Turn it all into a barren wasteland. Devour every living thing that he could see until he found her.
->

<-
He'd then resume carving away at its limbs one by one.

"Don't say it's out of the kindness of your heart, I know bullshit when I see it."

<-
"So these crystals all stem from one specific pokemon? Well, you're a useful drake, aren't you. What do you get out of telling me this?"

He questioned before avoiding a dragon pulse from the downed paradox.
