Chapter 7: Awakening Glitch - Blood Devour! (3)
[HP regeneration: -30% because of Blood Loss]
...
Kai got thrown backward, flying through the corridor like a twig amid a storm. His entire body ached, skin torn, and tiny squirts of blood kept bursting out. It felt to him as if he was blowing up from inside out. He could sense it, the taste of Death.
Hard to forget such a taste once experienced before.
The door at the end couldn’t stop him either. A creaking boom took over the entire shop as he broke the door and finally landed on the floor.
Cough! Cough!!
Blood and spit came out in a quick burst of endless coughing. The corridor had been dark, but this room was darker. The pain made Kai shiver, the cold of death creeping over him, trying to take over his mind.
I must not close my eyes, Kai swore. He could feel the wetness in his ears, the thick liquid thinning as it ran down his face, reaching his neck. His vision was blurry, but he could see her. The light highlighted her kneeling figure in front of the stairs. She was vomiting.
I can’t die here, Kai told himself, struggling for breath, seeing the red HP bar flashing, dwindling like a dying candle’s flame.
Hisssss!
The sudden familiar sound jerked Kai’s dwindling concentration. There was a time when he understood this sound. Now it was just an animal’s snarl.
