Shock couldn't be more evident on Noah's face at that turn of events.

His surroundings continued to be flooded by the intense wave of blue dense essence; which was mana at an unholy concentration.

However, Noah felt astonished to feel his very being oppose the overwhelming energy around him.

His figure lit up with a deep-yellow light almost golden, as speed essence rushed out of his core without his permission.

Noah could sense and hear the energy that currently made him who he was, protest at the fact that mana wanted to take hold of him.

'It's never done this. Why now?' he wondered feeling scared of being left behind.

Noah quickly found himself in what looked like a cocoon of speed essence.

He felt able to hear the communication between those two energies. A strange and very unsettling experience it was.
