Aksai took a deep breath.
"Haa..."
Because he was still in his Poison Metamorphosis form, the movement looked particularly strange.
Without most of his epidermis and tissues, the expansion of his lungs was clearly visible beneath his exposed frame. His rib cage widened as the organs within his chest moved.
His heart could also be seen.
It had been pierced by Varesh's Natal Sword.
The organ was still beating weakly.
Thump.
Thump.
Dark blood slowly oozed from the wound.
Under normal circumstances, such an injury would have been fatal.
For Aksai, however, it was merely an extremely serious injury that needed to be dealt with later.
The Poison Metamorphosis form allowed him to continue functioning despite suffering what should have been a mortal wound.
At this moment, Aksai looked less like a living human and more like a skeleton with partial poison decay that had somehow learned to move itself.
