Almost instantly, pangs of agony forced Liam on his knees.
The blood felt like it was digging into his skin and viciously gnawing his flesh, paired with magma flowing through his veins.
Normally, Liam was used to such pain. Yet even with his added status as a Rank 2 Magus, it wasn't ignorable.
Thick veins bulged all over his body as he suppressed the urge to shout.
However, he didn't stay idle as his body readily rejected the purified blood.
Amidst the burning, piercing and paralyzing feelings, he began to guide the blood and spread it throughout his circulatory system using his mental waves.
It dimmed the pain to a bearable amount, since it wasn't concentrated on one spot.
At the same time, it eased his body in accepting the vampire's blood.
Liam let out a shaky breath.
It wasn't done there.
