As the lightning energy surged through the Yantra threads, creating a symphony of light and sound, Eric sat at the heart of the ritual with a focused intensity. His eyes snapped open, fixating on the Lion Heart Sword. With a swift motion, he directed the sword to unleash a barrage of Sword light towards the motionless Dragon heart.
The cave was illuminated with a dazzling light show as the sword rays bombarded the heart. The solidified heart, a reservoir of ancient cosmic miasma, began to tremble under the onslaught. It responded like a raging dragon – instead of melting into a liquid, the cosmic miasma began vaporising, skipping a state in its transformation.
Eric, his eyes now closed, entered a deep meditative state. He began channeling the vaporized form of the cosmic miasma into his body. The process was arduous; the cosmic energy was raw and potent, demanding every ounce of his concentration to adjust his body to its overwhelming power.
