Within his secluded chamber, Derek sat in a cross-legged position with his eyes shut tight while a dark fog hovered above him and a pair of dark purple eyes could be seen gazing at him intensively. He was completely naked, and the image of his body overlapped with the image of his soul, revealing the gaping hole in his chest.
The dark room was illuminated with dark green beams of light, surging outward from Derek's body, as numerous souls twirled around him, surging into the hole one after the other.
