When Shadow approached to carefully examine Angor, Toby immediately began to attack him again.
Shadow simply huffed. The bird might be a big trouble inside that mist illusion, but they were now inside a narrow room where speed and flying weren't so much of an advantage.
With a flicker of his mind, Shadow activated his Magma Salamander power again. When his skin was hard enough to withstand Toby's attacks, he reached out a hand to grab the bird.
However, he suddenly felt his heart twitching again. Before he could do anything, the great pain canceled the power of his bloodline just when Toby's next attack connected with his chest.
Caught defenseless, Shadow found himself knocked flying against a wall, where he then landed on a pile of broken debris.
The man moaned painfully. Toby's attack was completely negligible compared to the tearing pain assaulting his heart, which only grew worse and worse as if his beating heart were going to explode.
