"Did I feel wrong?'
Damien wondered. That feeling was so fleeting that he almost questioned whether it was an illusion felt due to his insanity for a second.
But no. It couldn't be. That was a feeling that he had only felt a few times before, but he knew it clearly. It had been ingrained in his body.
'That essence is…'
Without wasting a second, he sat down on the ground and entered a meditative state. His awareness slowly spread from his body and covered the area 10 meters around him.
His forehead wrinkled. 'Why can't I sense it anymore?'
He could feel the extremely solid space and even the myriad of elemental essences in the surroundings, but that specific essence was no longer present.
'No, it's there. I just don't know how to look for it.'
It was something he had tried to grasp for so long, yet even now he barely had an inkling of the path forward.
