Chapter 24: Ch 24 - End of the Second Trial
Daniel stood at the same spot with not an inch of movement in his body, completely shocked to see whatever had happened to him in that small amount of time comparable to a second or two.
His body —which remained stiff as though it was completely fine mere moments ago —began to host tremors that pulsed through his body.
Deep cuts that had incurred on his body started to moisten up, letting the crimson slowly leak over the edges of his skin—slowly converging before tracing down his skin.
The pain slowly began to pierce through his mind, worsening his expressions with time.
Frankly speaking, It was a completely normal reaction.
Even though it was true that his soul had been long since devoured by the spell and his mind had gone berserk for blood, it was also true that he was, but a mortal.
No matter how crazy he went, there were clear limitations of the human body that no one could surpass as of now.
A deep cut that ran through his arm and chest, a completely slit-off wrist, and a half-sliced neck—all of these were grave enough to have killed anyone at any time.
But Daniel was still alive. Not because he was stronger than the rest but because his brain itself hadn’t realized the current situation of his body.
Slowly, numbness began to take over his body, blood seeped in through his wounds—entering his organs, causing them to subsequently fail.
