"What is that?" Aurie muttered to herself as she observed the strands in Izroth's grasp.
Needless to say, Aurie was shocked by Izroth's brazen behavior. Destroying the tombstone of a peak legendary realm figure, even if they were weakened, was a dangerous move. However, it seemed that he was not doing so out of spite or hatred towards the Death Emperor. Instead, Izroth appeared to be in a state of even deeper concentration as compared to before—as if he had a sudden realization and immediately acted upon it.
Nevertheless, it was a risky thing to do with the Death Emperor's temper. But, to Aurie's surprise, the Death Emperor contained his boiling rage. However, she understood that the Death Emperor had no other choice but to trust Izroth.
The tombstone had already been damaged beyond repair and was no longer capable of absorbing or sustaining any death energy. This was made clear by the loss of its deep black coloring.
