Hearing Yorian's words, Seren froze. Her moist eyes, filled with worry, remained fixed on Drayce's pale face. "But he was fine just moments ago. Erebus was there…"
"King Drayce had utilized his divine powers to fight, sealing away his darkness as he believed he could manage merely as a warlock against those wizards. However, expected them to come with an unexpected surprise," Yorian explained. "That darkness from other realm attacked his divine core, causing severe damage that now requires healing."
"I... don't understand. How could he have fought...?"
"That was Erebus. King Drayce's darker aspect emerged when he saw you in danger. But later Erebus disappeared as his presence would not let us analyze how gravely the divine side is affected. Erebus wants us to heal King Drayce, that's why he is gone. King Drayce can function as Erebus but it will leave his divine side harmed as it is which won't bode well for him in future. We need to treat his divine side."
