This time though, unlike the previous trial, Orion's bloodlines and his blood force were free.
His angelic and human bloodline worked in perfect harmony, one forcefully evolving his mind past its current limits while the other reshaped and refined its integral structure.
The runes, though, seemed to react and become all the more violent as a vicious cycle of torture began.

His blood force flooded his brain and restructured it as the effects of the runes had finally become bearable enough for him to think somewhat logically.
As he reopened his eyes, he felt vertiginous and weak beyond belief, all his stamina and blood force utterly depleted.
