After studying the Corrupting Orb from a short distance for a few minutes, Ves finally decided to take a chance.
He bent down and carefully grasped the orb in his hand.
It felt smooth and cold to the touch. Ves felt as if he held an orb of ice in his hands. He could already feel a bit of his body warmth siphoning away from his palms.
If he was a regular human, then he risked freezing his hands if he kept hold of the orb long enough.
As a human phase lord, the tiny amount of warmth passing from his body was trivial to the point where he could ignore it entirely.
"Interesting."
Direct contact with the orb drastically magnified its corrupting influence. Already, he could feel much of the darkness energy and other negative energies pouring straight into Spirituality.
It was as if the orb eagerly wanted to punish the individual that was foolish enough to grab hold of its form!
"Mrow!"
However, much of the negative energies failed to affect Ves in any obvious manner.
