"How the heck are you using curse energy? It was supposed to be sealed the moment you entered here!" Lola exclaimed, panic creeping into her voice. She didn't spare a second glance at Ace's red-hot, very exposed situation.
Sonia, on the other hand, arched a brow, both impressed and entertained. Watching Ace writhe in pain and struggling not to scream, brought her way more joy than it should have.
Ace barely heard them over the roaring heat inside him. He focused, checking on his curse energy—and sure enough, Lola was right. His curse energy was active, but it wasn't just active—it was burning through him like fuel, heating his body from the inside out. If this kept up, he'd be cooked alive long before he ran out of curse energy.
'Shit,' Realizing the danger, he immediately cut off all curse activity, but as he did, he found out why he was able to use curse energy after it was sealed away in the first place?
