With the gemstone removed from the Serpent, its lifeforce quickly faded until it eventually died. Naturally, the corrupted fate attached to it also began to disconnect.
As the wart-like protrusions on its body rapidly expanded and contracted, they popped, and a whirlwind of black mist burst out into the surroundings!
As the black mist tried to fly away, however, a sphere of mana formed around it, attempting to trap it within its walls, but the black mist easily broke out, flying off into the distance.
Lake sighed as he watched the black mist fly off.
Unlike last time, he knew that the remnant of corruption was going to try and escape, so he flew over ahead of time in an attempt to capture it.
He thought that with his authority as the Master of Fate, he could use his mana to try and interact with it, but it seemed that the remnant of corruption wasn't under the domain of fate, making Lake unable to prevent its escape.
