Chapter 8
I'm suffocating...!
D.I.O.'s pain control system was only effective for certain types of physical sufferings such as the excruciating pain after getting stabbed or going through Qi Deviation. It wouldn’t alleviate things like a workout soreness or the suffocating feeling that Yongno was experiencing right now.
It would indeed kill the severe pain at the moment of death, but Yongno was already suffering too much from shortness of breath, so he was desperately moving his arms to make an emergency ascent to the surface. However, the lack of air wasn’t the only problem here.
/The sudden change in water pressure has caused fatal damage to your body!/
/Your status has been updated: 'Serious Injury!'/
Yongno felt dizzy from his worsening body condition. His vision turned darker as he got closer to the surface, but he couldn’t slow down his rising speed since it would immediately change his status from 'Serious Injury' to 'Dead.'
/Your status has been updated: 'Fatal Injury!'/
Yongno was nearly unconscious by now, and just before his status was about to change to 'Dead,' he quickly popped his head above the water.
"HUFF, PUFF, GASP!"
