CRAAAAACK!
The white head shattered into thousands of ice fragments that scattered across the arena floor, and Sythara screamed, two voices now instead of three, the remaining heads shrieking in pain and rage.
Her coils released me immediately as she recoiled, and I dropped to the ground hard, my broken leg sending fresh waves of agony through my body.
But I didn't have time to recover.
The poison was still spreading through my system, and even with my ice slowing it down, I could feel it reaching toward my vital organs.
"Fuck... this is definitely going to hurt."
I made a decision in that split-second.
I channeled the Authority of Ice inward with deep precision, flash-freezing the poison in my bloodstream and forcing it to solidify.
Then I clenched my fist and punched myself in the chest with enough force to crack my sternum.
CRACK!
"Keguhhh!"
