With that surge came a sharper, more violent spatial pull, and the alpha's forward momentum faltered, its body jerking as the rift's gravity dug in and began dragging it backward inch by inch.
"Rrrgh!"
The alpha ape let out an animalistic strain as the pull from the rift grew stronger, and with its claws, it tore into the ground, holding itself firmly in place as it fought against the force.
But the hold only lasted two seconds before the alpha ape found itself getting dragged back once again, so it tried something else.
Once again, multiple mirages burst outward in every direction, just like before when he tried to evade my pursuit, but they were useless.
Each false image was instantly swallowed by the rift, ripped apart, and consumed as if they'd never existed.
Only the real body remained.
And now, even that was being hauled back toward the collapsing space behind it.
Good.
With the alpha finally locked in place, I prepared end it.
But then something changed.
