With each bite, Liam felt his Heart nourished with newfound lifeforce. A strange iridescent glow surfaced on his silky smooth skin, giving him a surreal, resplendent appearance.
He was inching closer and closer to the fifth Rank.
The feeling of excitement was immeasurable.
Fifty bites in, and Liam's Ravenous Heart was at about 95% volume. The crimson work of art worked wondrously in purifying every morsel of the lifeforce within it.
With each hour that passed, the Heart seemed a tiny bit smaller than it did before, shrinking in size to accommodate for the higher form of blood.
The remaining 5% didn't take long to get filled.
Heaving a tense sigh, Liam took one more bite and, with a wave of his hand, immediately deployed a protective dome of crystalized blood around himself.
KRSH!
Stripping off his clothing, he laid his back flat on the ground, then waited…
DA-DUMP! DA-DMP! D-DUMP!
"Oh boy," Liam grunted.
