Celis found that the entire area around him was not dark; instead, it was filled with swirling azure flames—aggressive and powerful, crashing into him and burning him.
"Arg!" he roared, not expecting to be overwhelmed by anything—he hadn't imagined that the Eye would belong to an actual beast!
"Calm down, I just need to break through!" he muttered to himself. If he could break through into the Essence Forge, he could finally leave the Azure world—at least until he devised a method to escape the massive beast that surrounded him.
Closing his eyes, he felt the tremors in his body grow increasingly chaotic. His Cyralim was engulfed in azure flames, and the energy within him surged uncontrollably. He couldn't contain it.
"I won't contain it then!" With a deep breath, a powerful suction force pulled even more Azure essence into his Cyralim. Cracks began to appear on its surface as it prepared to implode.
