"...Ah, thanks," Xiaodan said, gulping after seeing the bone spikes on the ground.
He got up, helping Xiaodan up, "Yeah, well–don't count on that again!"
Again, the lich invoked another command: "Suffer."
This word was pointed solely at Xiaodan, who immediately screamed out the moment the word met his ears.
"Gaaagh…!" Xiaodan screamed in agony, clutching his body.
"Xiaodan!"
He grabbed him by the shoulders, but Xiaodan didn't even look at him, only biting down on his own lip and clutching his own body before keeling over in pain.
Xiaodan continued screaming, "It…It feels like–it's tearing me up from the inside! Fire…it burns!"
Though they were yelling out as if their flesh was being melted from their skeleton, there was no tangible damage actually being done; Xiaodan's body was absent of injuries, yet he laid in a fetal position, screaming out.
"Xiaodan…! Get it together! It's just an illusion!" He yelled.
