For the first time, Malin failed to achieve complete victory in terms of strength. He struggled to fend off the Bone Blade and at the same time noticed the bloody holes on the Spiritual Body's shoulders, seemingly caused by nails.
The Bone Blade whistled through the air again, and Malin blocked the strike with the World Tree Sapling in his hand. He noticed the Spiritual Body silently weeping, with corrupted blood gushing from her empty eye sockets, and the mad whispers echoed around him.
"You are not him, you are just a traitor, a coward who betrayed us!"
The Bone Blade and the sapling clashed once more, and Malin looked at the Spiritual Body before him, who was shouting, but her mouth was empty.
"I curse you, curse this world, curse everything!"
Malin stepped back and drank a potion made from the fruit of the World Tree Sapling. For the next three minutes, Malin would be a monster with power approaching 30.
