Bab 36: Survival

Pale skin. Trembling form. Emaciated body. Strained breaths. Bloodshot eyes. Uncontrollable itching. Shriveling muscles. Unimaginable pain… that was what Liliana was constantly experiencing.

Her very cells popped and burst into tiny fireworks within her body due to the uncontrollable mana that was running amok inside her body.

I estimated that within a few minutes, she would die. Yet, here she was… begging for mercy.

"No!" I flatly responded.
