After breaking through the illusion in his mind, Adrian found himself on his knees on the floor of the maze, with tears streaming down his face.
However, before he could even move, a head-splitting pain pierced through his mind. The pain was so intense that he could only clutch his head and scream in agony.
He had only felt pain like this once before. That was when he was receiving the inheritance from the Blood Star. The difference was, this time, this pain came from something different.
Adrian didn't know it, but his forceful method of destroying the illusion was very dangerous. The illusions he experienced occurred inside his sea of consciousness, where his soul resides.
Any sort of injury to the soul could have killed him, or worse, turned him into a vegetable. In fact, if any other person had gone through the same thing Adrian had just experienced, they would have probably already been done for.
