A shockwave cut past Eliron, pushing him back and blowing the rest of the elves to a distance.
Eliron hugged Yennefer close to his body as the wind cut past them, ruffling their clothing.
The elves around had already begun to flee towards the village, some of them hiding at a respectable distance away from the scene.
Yennefer looked troubled as she watched the dust settle. "What is happening? What was that thing he ate?"
"A demonic fragment..." Eliron said coldly.
"It is a product of black magic, an item used to draw upon power from the abyssal realm."
"While spirit shards are fragments of a monster's spirit core, a demonic fragment is an imitation. A spirit shard corrupted with abyssal power, to act as a host for a demon's will."
When consumed, the individual will manifest traits of the demon whose will infused into the shard.
It was a major part of the story, Titan's Tribulations. But that was in the later arcs. What then was a demonic fragment doing in Artaris??
