Something definitely has gone wrong.
After condensing part of the spirit force to form the earth pillar, Emery needed to form another pillar to support his dark core. Otherwise, the equilibrium between the two cores would break in a state of disproportion.
The current problem Emery had in hand was the fact that one of the three darkness pillars, the one labeled by the system as [undefined], had drawn all the spirit force that was supposed to be used to create the other darkness pillar.
This 'devour' pillar was definitely making trouble for him.
It took him all of his concentration to slow down the spirit energy that was sucked in without consent and divert it to the dark foundation instead. Fortunately, despite it being so hard to do, he managed to do it in the end.
More chapters coming soon, thank you for your support, much appreciated
