The moment the Checkpoint Turtle died, all its blood that had mixed into the ocean mystically converged around Gehen, seeping into his body as he screamed in pain. Even though the healing effect from the Water Essence was still active in his body, the pain made him feel like he would be unable to hold on.
His body seemed like it would no longer be able to hold on. The sounds of bones crunching resounded as they seemed to be broken and rejoined repeatedly. Gehen could not help but bawl from the pain, unable to tolerate it any longer when a warm feeling permeated through his body.
All the blood in the surroundings vanished as the body of the Checkpoint Turtle floated before him, its eyes glaring at him. This startled him for a moment before he realized it was dead. For a moment, Gehen felt like there was unbelievable power in him before it seemed like that wasn't the case.
