This time, Ezra didn't bother to admire the scene or some shit like that. His darkness covered the stone and began leeching the vitality out of it.
He felt satisfaction as his enemy's energy streamed into him but it wasn't fast enough. Not for him. At this rate, he'll spend hours here before he is able to open up the stone.
With a nod to himself, he began pouring vitality into his arms and the giant arm of darkness formed in the air in front of him, mimicking his actual arms.
He reached out and seized the giant ball of stone, raising it up into the air. When the ball was finally in the middle of the black zone, he began squeezing.
When James gets out, he won't be able to escape.
He strained, pouring more vitality into it. This might be a slower method but it was better. He couldn't risk smashing the stone cocoon. Not this time.
