A pristine light enveloped Michael, shrouding the changes around him. But he paid little attention to that in the first place. He was more affected by the changes happening to his body, mind, and soul.
He…was growing weaker.
His Soultraits were sealed individually, and his Energy Pillar narrowed until it was only a fraction of what it used to be. Even his War Rune storage was empty and only a portion of what it used to be.
Michael returned to his old self as a Tierless Awakened. But this time, something was different. This time, Michael was a Flawed Awakened. He didn't manifest a Soultrait. He was Soultraitless, Tierless, and his War Rune storage was empty. Only his Aethyr remained, though weakened due to the lack of energy inside him.
