At the moment he was engulfed by the dragon's flames, Minos opened his eyes wide and felt his own skin melt like butter.
For a moment, he felt his entire being on fire, his nerves radiating sensations he had never felt before, his heart pounding so hard in his chest that it felt like it would burst out of his body at any moment.
His mind went blank, and for a moment he felt powerless, just as he had centuries ago when he woke up in the Stuart residence in the capital of the old Brown Kingdom. Back then, he had spent years in a coma, awakening after terrible events that could have led to greatness or a quick death.
Since that day, he had never felt as powerless as he did now, his body practically beyond his control as it burned deeply.
He couldn't even scream, losing the ability to do so as his bones began to melt.
Suddenly, his Incorruptible Heart beat differently as his eyes turned golden and a terrifying aura emerged from the depths of his body.
