The Count grabbed his face and would have torn his head from his shoulders had he not become a diamond man. Instead, his fingers only managed to compress his skull like dough between his hands.
The Count's strength was that great. If Kelvin had only diamond skin, his head would have surely been crushed. But he was diamond all through, so the Count couldn't cause his skull to deform.
The Count asked calmly, "Why do you have Stella's diamond skin ability?"
Kelvin was honestly impressed. The man was fighting and talking as if he hadn't lost everything beneath his waist. Not many people could be this composed in a near-death situation.
But he didn't answer the question. Instead he cut off the man's arms quickly. This finally rendered the Count helpless.
But he paid for that with another wave of sickness. He was about to stand when the drain on his stamina increased exponentially. He buckled and fell to his knees.
