His once-ethereal glow now flickered erratically like a dying flame. The pain was unbearable—a searing, gnawing agony that burrowed into his very essence and soul. No matter what he tried, no salve or incantation could quell the torment coursing through him.
His breath came in ragged gasps as he stood atop the fractured remains of a Legendary King State Zodiac Beast he had just slain. Its monstrous form lay crumpled, its life extinguished by Blackwell's wrath and desperation. Yet even this triumph brought no relief. The same unknown malady continued to consume him, tearing him apart from within, and he could feel it was reaching a critical point!
