บท 859: A Friend

Soon, the sudden battle ended, and Archer breathed heavily as Brooke and Mary dealt with the remaining Giants. He rested while watching the women inspect the monsters and talk among themselves.

He didn't bother getting involved as he examined his body, which was slowly healing. This concerned him as some weren't healing at all, and it caused sharp pains to shoot through his whole being.

Archer lifted his shirt, revealing three black, festering wounds that seemed to pulse with evil energy. 'Have they come up with a new poison already? I can feel the Anti-Venom Skill kick in, but it's doing nothing.'

Just after thinking that, Archer had to cough, which caused blood and chunks of flesh to cover his hand. Panic set in, causing him to send Lucrezia a message. [Luce. They have a new poison, and it's destroying me from the inside out. Please help me]

After sending it, he started coughing even more, catching the other's attention.
