Bab 249: Undead ritual (3)

Lucas took a few steps back, it was an instinctual act.

His mark burned up suddenly and he gritted his teeth to suppress it.

'It's acting up again, but why?'

Lucas looked at the woman in front of him, his perceptive eyes activated and that was when he saw so much dark energy getting out of Sandra and going inside the wolf's dead body.

'Is this energy trying to get me berserk?' Lucas asked himself again, he was on his knees now and he gritted his teeth to try to close off his mind from those murderous thoughts.

They were the anchor, if Lucas got rid of those thoughts, then the mark had no power over him. But controlling one's emotions was a difficult task for a person like Lucas who didn't even know how to perform common yoga.

The air around the forest became sinister and it seemed to go dark even though it was daytime.

Lucas's eyes were on Sandra who had gone silent with her arms stiff as if she was applying force on them.
