Half an hour later.
Casio, red as a cooked lobster, opened his eyes and reached out to grab another pill.
The pain should be endured all at once.
Taking the dosage piecemeal made the discomfort worse.
With a 'Gulu' sound, a wave of heat surged from his belly. Casio exhaled slowly, readjusting his position.
Each pill took half an hour, which made it two and a half hours for five pills.
During this time, Casio was in a state of constant heat, like a huge furnace.
Radiating intense heat non-stop.
A bucket full of ice was melted into clear water.
By the time he took the last pill, it was scalding.
Splash~
Casio stumbled out of the wooden tub.
Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came from his joints. Slowly, he extended his hands, crossed them over, and held them chest-high. He stood in a horse-step stance, feet apart. Once in state, Casio felt his muscles slowly contracting, becoming stronger.
It was as if a healing vitality was licking his wounds.
