The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar could see the agony in Cain's eyes, but he could do nothing. He had also experienced the pain of the Rebirth Mark radically growing, and it was not a joke.

"Congratulations. You have accumulated enough Merit to evolve your Tier I Rebirth Mark into a Tier II Rebirth Mark. You can now burn 50% of your life force without permanent repercussions. It will heal over time, or you can speed it up using treasures.
Continue the hard work to unlock the complete Rebirth Knight Runic Set. The more precious the sacrifice, the better. I also like evil things, so make sure to bring me sinful entities."
