The first thing Michael did was to use Extraction on the crystal chains to extract as many components as possible. He left only a tiny part of the main component hanging to prevent the crystal chains from breaking.
Why did Michael do that? He wanted to break the crystal chains simultaneously with little to no energy consumption once the taming process had been completed.
Once Michael replenished his energy storage, he conjured the magic circle of Taming for the second time since he procured the Soultrait. He weaved the magic circle meticulously and added as much energy as possible to fortify the taming circle. The circle's shape changed slowly, morphing into a crimson-colored pentagon as it moved below the feet of the Elemental Empress.
