"Hiss"
Like hot oil pouring out, or an intense fire burning.
Underneath Murphy's skin, guarded by the elder's armor, a billowing layer of blue smoke arose, causing him so much pain that his defensive movements momentarily lost their form. His 'Dark Step' lost control, causing him to stumble nearly falling. He barely managed to support his body with the sword in his hand.
But this was already considered good luck.
At least he didn't have as many terrifying debuffs on him. The same couldn't be said for Jed who was standing before him, bearing no less than six lethal debuffs on his body.
Jed appeared as if he was doused in sulfuric acid.
In the absence of Blood Essence and with his physical body crumbling from multiple bat transformations, even the slightest exposure to sunlight caused unbearable pain.
Especially now, at the break of dawn when the sun's rays tore through the darkness. It was the time when the sun's spiritual energy was at its peak.
"Ah!!!"
