An excruciating amount of pain caught up to him.
"Fuuuuuck!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as his knees slammed into the ground. His whole body convulsed violently, his remaining hand dropped Kurogoroshi onto the floor, instantly flying to the stump, gripping above the ruined flesh as blood burst between his fingers in a hot, horrifying flood.
The pain was so sharp it didn't even feel real for the first second, then it became all too real, a savage white-hot agony that shot through his shoulder, chest, and spine, making his vision blur and his stomach lurch.
"Elion!" Zenith rushed toward him so fast she nearly slipped, stopping right in front of him with wide, horrified eyes. "What happened!?"
Of course, she could see what had happened. His damned arm was lying on the floor a few feet away, but she clearly hadn't seen how it happened, and that was what terrified her most, the fact that she had not been able to perceive that attack.
