After severing the connection with my summons, I turned my attention inward to examine the condition of my body. The moment my perception entered my Divine Core, I couldn't help but frown.
It was in terrible shape.
Numerous cracks had spread across its surface, some extending deep into its structure, while Soul Force continuously leaked through them. The Black Island at its centre had been shaken violently, and although it remained intact, the surrounding structures were in disarray. The Soul Sea was disturbed, the Star of Origin had dimmed, and even the mechanisms within my Divine Core were struggling to function.
I tried circulating my Soul Force to assess the damage, but several cracks immediately widened, sending a sharp wave of pain through my body. I stopped before things could get any worse.
I couldn't fight in this condition.
