Kain tried to quickly dodge but couldn't prevent the talon from making a bone-deep lash along his collarbone.
Thankfully, he was able to prevent any major artery from being severed, otherwise even with the healing abilities of Eve and the Essence of Life, there's no guarantee he wouldn't lose so much blood that the relic would just eject him.
Another fortunate piece of news that Kain received was that one of Bea's splits had managed to make contact during the brief moment it had reappeared and was now wrestling for control of its body.
He activated the spiritual skill to boost Bea once again to more quickly bring an end to the battle, but considering that now Kain had a way to monitor its movements and was no longer so threatened by it he once again chose not to instantly refill his spiritual power and simply rested against Aegis leisurely while eating some royal jelly to quickly heal his wounds.
