A moment of relief painted their faces as Shoichi and Takatsugu believed that their battle was over.
The lieutenant's body laid down in defeat or so they believed.
The hole in the chest of the lieutenant excreted black mud that grew larger and larger with each passing second until it covered him entirely, quickly eliminating their feeling of safety and forcing them to be on guard once more.
'' Why doesn't he just stay down? '' Takatsugu asked as he started to shake heavily, drawing attention to himself.
Shoichi was wondering what was happening to the male.
'' What's up with you? '' Shoichi asked him, curious as to what was going on with him, seeing how he was acting.
Takatsugu couldn't outright say it was due to his condition, while it was better than it was, it still plagued him internally.
