Are they... for real?!

This wall… wasn't a wall per se. 

In my attempt to spread the range of my anchors outside of my flesh, I unknowingly attempted to infuse Claire with them instead! And while sure, when it came to the area around the two of us, I managed to achieve exactly what I wanted with even less effort than I both expected and calculated for it to take, when it came to the space in front of me… 

'Shit…'

Scared shitless of messing with Claire's cultivation by a total accident, I nigh instantly pulled out… 

Only for the sense of dread and torture unlike any other to take over my mind in a storm. 

'IT BURNS!'

I wished to scream out. I wished to cry out! 

But now that I dissolved even a few of the newly made anchors, the burden they were meant to share came crashing down back on my core, only further enhancing the strain I was already feeling from pulling back my strands. 

'And it's still merely the beginning stage!'
