บท 75: Burnout

Tom's body exploded in pain. 

The energy that entered his body through the handle of his spear was just too powerful. 

Tom's first reaction to the pain was to fully tense his body all over. Or rather, it's hard to call it a reaction if it was something that his body did completely on his own. 

But why is that important?

Because Tom's fingers tightened around the spear as if he would lose his life by dropping it, while it was the very reason behind the torture that nearly melted his brain. 

'GOSH,' Tom's head inevitably moved to the back, as if making him look and pry to the skies... Which were hidden behind the ceiling of the corridor. 

Tom's body was burning. Every inch of his skin turned black. Every smallest threat of his muscles tensed up in convulsion before burning up.
