The Guardian's eyes narrowed as he could not understand the reason behind Zatiel's smile. However, everything became clear the next second when he noticed a strange power had invaded his body.
Before the Guardian could react, runes began to spread from inside his body, covering his energy pool and inner organs and soon emerging through his skin. They were black and had the power to push everything to a state of stillness.
If the Guardian had been at his peak, he could have fought off the power of the runes, but he was far from that state. The battle with the Samsara Thearch left him severely wounded, with no trace of energy left inside his body, making the power of the runes something he could not withstand.
Zatiel's Thanatos Eye glowed with a dark light as he controlled the energy inside the Guardian, ensuring that the black runes paralyzed body, energy, and soul flawlessly.
"How?"
