Celis's words were right. Somewhere else, Roan's group was being assaulted by some kind of pollen that drained Soul Power. "This thing is quite annoying."
However, Roan was doing better than the others since his Soul Power was fused with his Divine Energy. Thanks to that, he wasn't too badly affected.
Krikei, as the one with the highest Soul Power among them, was having a much harder time. "Arrgh! It doesn't matter what I do. I can't keep this pollen away from me. It's as if they're following me."
He wasn't wrong. The pollen seemed to gather around the participants who had the highest concentration of Soul Power. In the end, having strong Soul Power in the Soul Land doesn't always mean a good thing.
