Countless blades, big and small, darted toward the youth with blazing killing intent.
He was overwhelmed by such unimaginable pain originating from his soul that he didn't even realize this impending danger.
Not until he was completely drowned by the flurry of blades.
"Aaaarrggghhhh!" Adam roared in agony as the blades finally covered him.
Now, not only did he have to suffer extreme mental pain, but also physical pain.
His thoughts halted as the countless blades bore through his flesh from all sides. A deep sense of sorrow and resignation washed over him. He felt like he could no longer carry on.

He felt trapped and helpless under this storm of blades.
Pain.
Tormenting pain.
