Chapter 223: Burning With Rage
Darian didn’t hesitate for even a second. His mind worked fast, and he activated the rings on his arms. Instantly, he felt the connection to the three shadow spirits.
Those three had been with them the whole time — their emergency backup plan. Explaining the existence of those summons would’ve been a huge pain, so Darian had ordered them to stay hidden unless it was a life-or-death situation.
But... what kind of emergency could happen during a rookie tournament? Everything and everyone was being monitored nonstop.
Darian sensed that all the spirits were still alive and quietly inside the three. He let out a breath of relief — that meant they weren’t in immediate danger.
He signaled to Niara to go to the twins, then focused on a figure off to the side. It was Silas.
Since he had just recently joined the clan, he hadn’t received anything yet. Leander and Rhea had set up a strict protocol for newcomers, so the two newest members were still under observation.
As Darian got closer, he activated his white power to check him out... but Silas didn’t react — his body was physically fine. So Darian focused on his soul...
His eyes widened. Silas’s soul was terrifyingly damaged. It was hard to believe the guy was even still alive.
The only thing keeping him tethered to this world... was sheer willpower. But that alone wouldn’t work miracles. If no one helped him soon, he was going to die.
White power, in theory, could heal soul wounds. But Darian was still way too weak — its effects on that kind of damage were pretty limited or even useless if the injury was too severe. He knew that, and since he had plenty of money, he came prepared.
