Darian jumped and wrapped himself around her in desperation. Celestial Corruption worked just like regular corruption—the same kind that killed or turned the living into Risen. But this… this didn't come from a Risen Lord… it came from the supreme, immortal entity above them all.
When Niara—or any Summoner—got hit by corruption from a Risen, even a really high-level one, the corruption didn't invade their life energies right away. That was a natural resistance Summoners had. If they got healed quickly enough, nothing bad would happen.
But… if the corruption had already contaminated their life energy… Darian had been through this before with that demon beast. Back then, he couldn't even heal the corruption from a Risen Chief.
Now, with two rings, maybe he could... but he hadn't tested it yet. And in this situation with Niara, his power was totally useless.
