Kael's eyes narrowed as the Nexus's data stream flooded his mind. 'Spirit energy disruption?'
"Explain," he commanded through their mental link.
The Nexus's voice resonated in his thoughts, calm and precise.
"Spirit energy is the fundamental force behind magic—what your kind calls 'mana.' These creatures are sustained by corrupted spirit energy. Disrupt it, and they unravel."
Kael's grip tightened around the gauntlet, his mind racing as he processed the Nexus's analysis. Its precision was astounding.
"So, if we sever their mana supply…" He exhaled sharply. "They won't survive."
"Correct," the Nexus replied. "Their physical forms are bound by it. Sever the connection, and they cease to exist."
Ahead, the twisted creatures shrieked, their jagged limbs twitching with unnatural hunger.
"Then let's sever it," Kael said.
The Nexus responded instantly. "Acknowledged. Activating Energy Cannon: Disruption Protocol."
