Leonel came to an abrupt stop.
He could finally seem to hear around him and the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that it rumbled like thunder. Every pulse sent waves through the waters, causing it to shudder and wince. It beat so loud that Leonel felt that a single thump could have shattered his previous set of bones before he had been eaten by the Cobra Demon.
Leonel hadn't truly been aware of how powerful this new heart of his was until now, but it was exactly because such a heart was beating so wildly and strongly that it was so concerning. If not for the fact that it was so strong, it would have given out long ago.
Now, there was nothing but a searing hotness in his chest. It felt like hot coals were resting within his ribcage and billowing scolding smoke up his throat. The pain was unbearable, and the heat of the waters around was almost as well.
