Ryan opened his eyes as he moved from his kneeling position, and he was not the only one as Ylerias and Xuelong followed him.
"Ryan, wait!"
"Ryan, we need to speak."
Ryan did not spare any attention towards them as he raced toward Rhaziem's location and activated his third circle, stopping time in its tracks. At the same time, he placed his hand on Rhaziem's chest and powered the runic array Goddess Brelana had given him.
Like countless writhing worms, the runes spread all over Rhaziem's body, and as Ryan tried to understand them, a sharp headache hit him and he quickly closed his eyes to prevent further suffering.
Ylerias and Xuelong, as they felt something unnatural wash over them for a brief moment, and as they looked at Ryan, they were shocked to see Ryan's hand on top of Rhaziem as the runes flashed before disappearing.
'What happened?'
'When did he begin to put the runes on Rhaziem?'
'Don't tell me Ryan had activated his circle again.'
