''Oh? I think it's time for round two.''
Typhania broke out of her reverie and stated to Alex's despair; he who thought that he had adapted to the pain and would soon overcome it flinched at Typhania's words, and the Elven goddess smiled seeing this.
Even if he was scared, Alex knew that enduring more was in his best interest because, subtle as the change his body underwent by suffering the first wave, that change was still there, and it doesn't take a genius to guess that the more pain endured, the more benefits he would get. Alex reaffirmed this hypothesis again and nodded his head.
And taking this action as an acknowledgment, Typhania sent another special vine to pierce Alex's heart, but this time from the back.
''Ugh!'' Alex's mouth fell open and hot blood splashed out, followed by intense pain.
