Jacob's eyes flashed as he commanded, 'Again!'
The Life Bane Wheel suddenly expanded, and its scarlet ring became enormous, occupying almost the entire chamber.
The black section rotated slowly while the white section pulsed with a faint radiance. Between them, the ghostly purple section flickered like an abyssal flame, its surface covered with countless obscure glyphs that Jacob had yet to fully decipher.
The moment Jacob activated the Wheel again, the immense stream of sacrificial power rushing through the passage was forcibly drawn toward him.
'WHOOM!'
The entire chamber trembled, and the terrifying energy that should have disappeared into the depths of the citadel suddenly bent toward Jacob as if it had encountered an invisible vortex.
Jacob remained completely motionless as his skeletal body didn't absorb the energy directly. Instead, the Life Bane Wheel appeared behind him and began processing everything.
'Spectral Despair!'
