In his desperation to do something about his heart, Alec's focus slipped. His mind was already teetering on the verge of snapping. It was completely understandable that he lost control over the surging mana.
The fact that it was while he was guiding it straight toward his heart was simply a matter of bad luck. The tide of mana raged through his body in a straight line, nowhere else to go.
Like a river breaking on a rock, it crashed into his heart.
If it hadn't been for the bubble around it, he would have died. Now, his heart just got a little flattened.
Blood trickled out of the corner of Alec's mouth.
He was in a bad state, and he did not have much time left.
Still, he wasn't in despair. He had accidentally found the solution to his problem.
