"TUSA!"
The Dark Zephyr was supposed to be inactive, but the living mech had always been paying attention to the ritual.
When the expert light skirmisher observed that Tusa had actually been reckless enough to swallow the bowl of dangerous blood, the mech almost wanted to activate and run towards his battle partner!
However, Tusa immediately raised his palm.
"Don't!"
His expression immediately grew strained. His face grew redder as the foul and potentially lethal mixture entered his body.
Ves' phasewater concentration had reached 3.8 percent. Even though he had only shed a tiny fraction of his own lifeblood into the bowl, there was already enough phasewater mixed in to heavily injure or outright kill any baseline human!
The Larkinsons who watched Tusa with genuine concern all waited for disaster to strike.
When that did not happen, they steadily grew relieved.
