The swirling darkness behind the red slits shifted a little, looking straight at them. Damian gulped down real hard—Lifewarden was also frozen still on his feet. The second they blinked, the abyssal figure was standing right in front of them!
Lifewarden fell on his knees, and Damian couldn't even lift his finger as the sheer presence of Land Breaker forced him to fall flat on the stony peak—even though he had coated his entire body with a thin layer of mana! Increasing the amount of mana made no difference either. This was not simply the pressure of the aura. The energy in Land Breaker was something entirely else.
Instead of the bright, warm baseball-sized mana core he was used to feeling in people, Land Breaker was a power core itself! The inside of its body was just mana. It was darker than the abyss, but it still burned brighter than anything Damian had ever seen. The quality of mana far surpassed what his liquid mana could achieve.
