Cole writhed in pain on the ground. His bulging veins pulsate harder.
Like their previous enemy, dark miasma-like energy began radiating from Cole's being.
The plants all around him withered and died, leaving nothing behind.
"Am I becoming like that man? Why? How?" Cole wondered.
"The pain is so intense, my body will burst open at this rate."
He lay there stuck to the ground as the pressure kept building up. Then, Cole did the only thing he could think of doing.
He began chanting the World Absorbing Mantra as hard as he could.
This resulted in a large vortex of Life energy forming around him and vitality slightly returning to his body.
The large flux of Life energy and the dark miasma-like energy began a tug of war in Cole.
Each of them fighting for dominance inside him. The scale seemed to be tipping towards the Life energy though.
This was only due to the ability of the world Absorbing Mantra to absorb the purest form of life energy.
