Excruciating pain, like a tidal wave, crashed over Gathel's nerves.
He exerted all his strength, restraining his exertion to avoid resistance to the surgical reaction, thereby preventing greater pain.
But this pain, of bones continuously growing until they nearly burst his entire frame, was more intense than any Gathel had ever endured.
More intense than 15 years ago, when he was ambushed by a Dark Bat.
His back and legs were torn open with huge wounds, and he suffered the fierce pain of the assailant's nerve toxin infection.
Three times worse!
What was even more unbelievable to Gathel was that the pain threshold within his body was steadily rising.
The thought of escaping into unconsciousness, to have his will shattered by the pain, was an impossibility.
It seemed, My Lord was gradually showing him the limits of the pressure and pain a human body could withstand.
