Seiji felt like he was almost about to die.
More accurately, he felt like anyone who came along right now would easily be able to kill him. This was because he was in extreme pain as he constantly coughed to the point where his body had no energy left in it.
Luckily, his opponent didn't come over.
His last attack just now had either killed or seriously injured Kungo… Seiji felt that he had been lucky.
If it wasn't for Kungo deciding to attack him at melee range, allowing Seiji to counter at close distance, this battle would have been truly difficult. Either he would need to load, or he would have to start using one-time consumable items…
After quite a while, Seiji finally managed to somewhat recover as he slowly stood up. He discovered that the mist in this area had become even denser and chillier.
Seiji remained highly on guard as he walked over to the shrine and opened its front door.
