After the light flared up, strange runes, like sticky black tendrils, crawled out from the throne, inching closer and climbing up Owen's arm, binding him tightly.
Even the strange runes within the black tendrils began to seep into Owen's arm.
His skin quickly turned pitch black!
Owen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately swung the Flame Sword he was holding towards the tendrils.
The sword strike was incredibly fast, leaving a pale white streak across the black tendrils.
However, the tendrils were not destroyed.
Instead, they seemed to be stimulated in some way, and the strange runes that had infiltrated Owen's arm turned into sharp blades, causing deep gashes on his arm!
It felt like his entire arm was about to burst!
Rachel's heart was filled with fear, and she was about to rush forward to help Owen dispel the tendrils.
But Owen stopped her.
