Severed

The notification that stated his dark core had become erratic brought an untold amount of shock; so much Emery's mind went blank for a moment. In fact, things swiftly moved toward the worst direction after said notification.

Not only did he lose the ability to cast any spell, the notification was also the last thing he saw from the symbol on his hand. He tried to bring up his stats and expected the familiar window to appear on his mind. But, the result was nil - nothing happened.

Bad news. This was definitely a huge, disastrous problem for him.

Without even wasting a mere second, Emery immediately bolted as fast as he could toward the direction where the stone formation was. 

His heartbeat grew faster and louder as he ran through the woods, hoping that Killgragah had a solution for this unexpected problem. The dark core, after all, was the dragon piece of work.
