BOOM!
Dark fragments exploded inside the star.
The entire Sea of Consciousness shook, and waves rose across the black sea. The other six stars released faint lights, but none of them moved from their positions.
Simon remained before the black star even as the rune exploded.
No shockwave reached him because of the black star, but he felt the effect of the explosion.
The fragments of the runes did not disappear.
They rotated around one another, faster and faster, until they became a dark storm contained within the star.
Simon's physical body reacted at the same time.
Inside his room, his fingers clenched around the arm of the chair.
His Demon Heart released a heavy beat.
Thump!
Shadow energy flowed through his demonic pathways without him consciously summoning it. It travelled into his neck, entered his head, and gathered around his eyes.
A cold pain spread across his body and a pressure began rising in his skull causing him to clench his teeth.
