Chapter 182: The Price For Freedom

Talon remembered the reason he pushed through so much pain and difficulty in the first place. Yes, he could choose to die here and leave it all behind.

But he promised his sister.

He was going to protect her.

Talon brought his face closer to the blades of his scissors before sliding them into his eye socket.

He had no intentions of breaking his promise.

And so, he slipped in the blades even further. They cut against both his eyeball and the wall of flesh in his socket.

Talon grimaced from the pain, heaving ragged breaths. His nose was running with mucus while saliva leaked out of his mouth.

He was a disgusting mess.

Yet, Talon was at his strongest in this very moment.

"AHHHHHHHHH."

His eyeball reddened considerably from how much he was pushing it to the side. Right when it seemed like it was going to burst, Talon finally wrapped the blade around the nerve of his eye.
