This one.
Like one man, you and the <span class="mu-s">Primordial Wolf Scion spirit</span> face the Sorrowful Steel Wolf
On the limit of your extended perception, you feel the two other spirit receding, going away.
You almost summon the Cosmic Spear Snake spirit. You suppress that instinct.
Instead, you move in a pinch manoeuver. You act as intimidating as you can. The target growls.
You suddenly steps onward, with a sharp head motion akin to a headbut, entering the spirit's personal space.
The wolf takes a low posture, the growl turns into a outward menacing shout, followed by a clawing strike.
Which mean you already won. You were the bait, the Scion of the Primordial Wolf Spirit was the striker.
A jump, the fangs are closing around the wild spirit's throat. Your bonded spirits clench teeth.
The Sorrowful Steel Wolf spirit unravels. A part of its Qi just seems to vanish in your newfound Qi vision.
You spot three colors - for a lack of better word - of Qi remaining. First is vulpine energy, second seems to resonate with your <span class="mu-s">Blood-Shadow Wolf Painful Assault</span> (the Pain Keyword), last one is similar to Gold and Silver, but different enough - obviously Steel.
Those countless threads, like snakes out of a knot assaulting a trespasser, jumps on their killer.
Under the Wolf-Qi threads, the <span class="mu-s">Primordial Wolf Scion spirit</span> starts to unravel too, with the other threads merging in your bonded spirit.
You feel dizzy. What is happening?
"<span class="mu-s">Your soul is tempered with idiot boy. Draw that formation of your sect!</span>"
Flashes of <span class="mu-s">Pain</span> run through your body. Some of those flashes completly stop your motions. Other makes you jerk violently.
Then, there is some stiffness overtaking parts of your members. Turning cold on touch. Way heavier.
Still, you draw the formation of the Soul-merging ceremony, around the whirlpool of Qi threads and you. On your left and right, the twin ogives get filled with fur from a Steelwolf, and gut-clenching wolf screams.
You progressively gets better. The pain starts to recede instead of aggravating. This remains far from over.
Your memory supply a word for what happened. <span class="mu-s">Soul Backlash</span>. A dangerous, life-threatening event.
Without the guidance of the totem spirit of this plane, thing could have gone awfully awry.
