"Argh." Theodore sprouted blood from his mouth, and the veins from his eyes were bursting. It would only be a matter of seconds before the poison spread to his whole body, and by that time, he would surely die.
"Give us the antidote, now." Jane didn't know what to do. She was gasping for breath, but the more she asked, the more Vein ignored them.
"Don't waste your breath on him." Kai inhaled and exhaled to slow the poison in his body. The pain was excruciating like his skin was peeling from his muscles, and his bones were being hammed to bits. He didn't even know how Theodore managed to stay on his feet.
Kai gnashed his teeth and promised that he'd kill Vein with his own two hands if he survived this.
"Ryu!" Seraphina beamed when Ryu's face slipped from the archway.
"Nothing is blocking the passageway," Ryu said, panting. His chest rose and fell due to running nonstop.
Everybody breathed easy.
