Then, the backlash of the broken Soul Bond hit.
Karl staggered as it felt like every molecule of his body, and every point in all five dimensions of his power matrix was struck by lightning at the same time.
It was pure agony, and his mind faded for a moment, as he contained the backlash to keep it out of the beast spaces. Dana's was just forming now, and he couldn't risk destabilizing it with the backlash of the bond.
Karl nearly collapsed under the backlash, so Leon placed a padded chair from his inventory under the Pet Sitter, and settled him down to work through the pain of severing a Soul Bond.
This would be the hardest part.
If that backlash had hit Dana, it would have killed her instantly.
However, the System would help Karl through it. Not just because he had damage reduction skills that worked on everything, but because he was the Avatar of the World Dragon, and it was exceedingly difficult to kill an Avatar that still had the favour of their God.
