Outcome, Concern

—

Whether or not Thrax survived Kieran's final attack loomed over the minds of many spectators. The way Kieran's strike passed through Thrax's body as if it met no resistance confounded many. 

Could Thrax possibly survive this ridiculous attack?

Considering the attack didn't pierce his heart, sudden death was improbable. After becoming an Advanced Being, one's body was several times stronger than normal humans.

This resiliency was apparent by how Thrax's rattling eyes maintained a certain amount of light while gazing down at Kieran's arm.

The squelch of penetrated flesh spewing blood resounded as Kieran retracted his arm and shook it to dispel the blood that soaked it.

Despite the disappearance of the chaotic tendrils, Kieran's sclera remained black, and his eyes crimson, gazing upon Thrax apathetically. "This is the outcome of your actions. Blame no one but yourself. Whether you live or die is of no concern to me."
