Poisoned..

Alderic, the short elder, forcefully threw the captain into a nearby chair and conjured a massive earth element hand to wrap around him, imprisoning him in the seat.

Once he was seated on his counter, Alderic could no longer maintain his facade again as blood spouted from his mouth, staining his shining armor, which was already transforming back into its tattoo form.

“That bastard Terran, I had to pretend to be strong, but he still wanted to expose me. I’ll deal with him later. Unlike this captain, he’s a tough nut to crack.” Alderic muttered

Alderic began rummaging through the location where the pills were stored, desperately searching for the specific one he needed he had saved, Unfortunately, he couldn’t find it.

Coughing up more blood he noticed that his blood was turning black , it was at this, moment Alderic realized he had been poisoned, an he needed that pill more than ever.
