Nexus and Myne exchanged uneasy glances as they watched the strange, almost alien impurities seep out of Aiden's body. The thick, oily substance shimmered unnaturally under the dim light, as if alive, twisting and writhing with a grotesque, dark hue. It exuded a faint, sickly aura, one that made even seasoned warriors like Nexus and Myne feel uneasy.

If he had been in a state to notice, he likely would have been horrified, perhaps even disgusted, by the sight of these foul impurities. But as they continued to ooze out of him, the only thing on his mind was surviving the agony.
