"The mont that I start, you would be freed from the array and the crystal will take your place. Do not attempt to resist or else everything will go to waste." Adrian stated as he did not want to waste his efforts.
"Just get on with it." The Qilin stated as it beca excited for its release.
Adrian used all of his life energy that made the fire on his horns glow bright green. The next thing that the Qilin then beca a soul like shape that is sucked into sothing. The black stone would then be called 'The Mark of the Demon'.
"Finally, it is happening." The Qilin stated as it di not resist the pull like what Adrian said as it did not want to get killed in the process of escaping.
The Qilin then suddenly felt that sothing is wrong as a strong vortex suddenly swallowed its body that turned to a soul. The Qilin the felt that he is inside sothing foreign like he is trapped. It tried breaking free from the whatever trapped it, but it could not get out.
"That damn demon! This is unjust. I am a proud beast born from the harshest winds." The Qilin shouted in protest as its body is now trapped inside sothing. It tried releasing attacks but it was hitting nothing but empty space.
The Qilin is actually trapped inside of Peridot's body. A tattoo of a Qilin appeared on her back in the process of bonding. The plans of the Qilin to escape failed before it even attempted it. The Qilin can only live as the mount of the 'Princess of the House of Creation.'
The great beast knew that the Ryujin woman is from the house of creation as she slls like them. She slls of the elents because the elents bow down to those of the House of Creation. After raging for a few seconds, the Qilin could only accept reality and laugh.
"To think that I have been outsmarted by those younger than ." The Qilin stated as it suddenly felt its new master calling upon him to manifest in the material world.

"I cannot believe that you actually succeeded." Peridot stated as she could feel sothing different from her body. She could feel that the lightning and fire elents in her body is now more powerful than before.
"To think that you actually doubted . I am hurt beyond belief." Adrian stated sarcastically as he is not really hurt because he is already used to that honest attitude that Peridot uses. To him, that sort of attitude is much better than those wishing you well when in fact they want to curse you out.
"I said that I will cheer you on but not pray you succeed as that is jinx. Anyways, thanks to you…I now have a new mount. The downside is that I am no longer able to use the companionship stone that my master gave ." Peridot stated as she looked at the gift that her master gave her.
"What was the beast inside of it? You should actually be grateful that they gave you sothing. I was not given anything other than quests or problems that needed to be solved." Adrian asked as sothing given by her master is definitely powerful.
"It is a Giant Crane. It is still a rare beast, but it is not as powerful as the Qilin." Peridot stated.
"Giant Crane is not bad actually. It is a decent mount since you always use brute force anyways." Adrian muttered as he shook his head.
"What did you say?" Peridot stated with a serious look.
"I said that you should try and summoning the Qilin." Adrian stated in response.
Peridot then focused on the Qilin that she now shares her soul with. Their connection is special as Adrian used the secret art of soul bonding that he sohow knows. He does not know why he knows sothing like that, but he attributed it to the fact that he was a Soul Summoner previously.
"Is it possible that inherited job classes will also have inherited knowledge?" Adrian thought as Peridot finally succeeded in summoning the Qilin.
The tattoo on Peridot's back suddenly peeled off and beca large until it beca lifelike. The whole scene is like a painting coming to life in a literal sense. With a large effect of lightning and fire, the Qilin finally appeared back into the material world.
"Told you that I would get you out of that array." Adrian stated.
"You did but what did it cost you." The Qilin stated as it controlled its anger when it saw that Adrian was missing his right arm.
Peridot then imdiately noticed the thing that the Qilin pointed. She could not believe that Adrian's arm is disintegrated into nothingness. The missing arm is not even bleeding as Adrian's healing powers imdiately closed the wound.
"Oi! This is new. What happened?!" Peridot asked as she could not believe that a player could have a missing limb.
"I made a large mistake, and I paid the price." Adrian stated in response as he tried to downplay the accident that happened.
"It is not a small price. You lost an arm. When will it heal? I will try and heal you." Peridot stated as she knew that Adrian lost his dominant hand.
Peridot tried using the healing spells she knows but nothing happened. She also noticed that Adrian's status bar is stuck at 80% despite being healed a couple of tis. Saru imdiately knew what happened as he has been told stories of things such as this.
"Master Equinox has broken the law of casuality. He is now being punished for going around the ways of the world." Saru stated as this could only be the reason why Adrian is not regenerating.
Saru and the Qilin is actually shocked as those that can break the law of causality are demigods. Beings that have shed almost all of their mortal life and have achieved immortality. They never age but they could still die from being cut down. The fact that a demon that is not even a demigod broke the law of causality is sothing never before seen.
"This demon is not soone normal." The Qilin thought as it is now sure why it was unable to escape.

The event that happened that made Adrian lose an arm…
Adrian noticed that a bunch of ley lines were interconnected together like a braid which made him beco more careful. If he made a mistake in this part, then he would definitely activate the defense chanism of the array.
"Seriously, how long did that Array Master take in creating this huge array. Even demons do not use such complex structure unless they need to seal a dark god." Adrian grumbled as he carefully untangled the ley lines.
Like all of the things in this world, no one is born perfect. Sotis the world just wants to give soone punishnt and ss with their life. This is what happened with Adrian as his mind suddenly blanked out for a second and he made a mistake.
He damaged a ley line as he experiences what he calls a brain fart. The ley line beca bundled up as the energy passing through it beca stuck there. The array started to shine as the energy that accumulated is about to explode when Adrian thought of sothing.
"I will make the black hole absorb all the excess energy that the ley line will release." Adrian thought as he created a small compact black hole using his Vortex skill while his left hand is busy fixing the ley line.
The ley line that bundled up energy is now perfectly untangled, but the energy build up has been too much. Adrian can only take this chance as their fate will be decided if he fails. Peridot was still in the process of bonding with the Qilin at this ti which ans she cannot be asked for assistance.
Like a miracle happening, the compact black hole absorbed all the energy that the bundled ley line possessed. Adrian did not expect that he would be that successful, but all miracles co at a price. Miracles co to those that needed it, but people must pay a price for sothing like that to happen.
Adrian went against nature's providence which is what people call a miracle in Pandemonium. The price is none other than his arm and his ability to heal for a period of ti. He saw his right arm vanishing into nothingness.
[You have defied Nature's Providence.]
[You are now being put on trial.]
[You are sentenced to light punishnt by the will of the world.]
[You will not recover your right arm for a period of seven days.]
[You will not be able to recover past 8% of your total health for seven days.]
[You cannot use the Life Energy for seven days.]
[Your sin will be erased once you have experienced the punishnt brought by nature to you.]
