A bit of panic threatened to blossom in Seth's heart but he crashed it and every other thought in his mind, he firmed his hold on the crystal and then closing his eye went about absorbing its energy once more.
A few seconds of silence passed, and then at a particular time, Seth's hold on the crystal tightened, the pressure he was applying on it quickly approaching one which would shatter it, but before that happened, Seth stopped, a heavy breath leaving his mouth.
At the moment, Seth was fuming in anger, after everything he had been through, he was here at the place which was meant to be his salvation.
Here in this very cave, Seth was supposed to be back on his cultivation journey, he had goals to meet and enemies to deal with, but if he could not do this one task of mending his soul, then he was done for.
"Damn it" Seth growled, he gritted his teeth in frustration, and then with a fierce determination in his eyes, placed his hands on the crystal.
