Jaeden feels the weight of his new connection to the Chimeric Core within the Orichalcum Sword, realizing that his soul is tied to the chaotic fusion of energies. Tharion, now transformed by the ritual, stands in awe of the power that has been revealed. The Shaman, Raksha, warns them that Jaeden's interference has permanently bound the Chimeric Core to him, amplifying its power but also increasing the risks of losing control over it.

Raksha reveals that Jaeden’s life force is intertwined with Tharion’s due to a life-saving act, creating a bond that could lead to shared strength or significant danger.
