Swooosh—!

The plan worked flawlessly.

'Leon' got kidnapped, and I quietly followed the thread connecting me and him. I didn't need to go fast since I knew exactly the path that the Wraith was taking.

….That, and there was also the fact that ideally, it would be best if I didn't run. It was possible, but it was just not ideal.

"Hoo."

Leaning against the side of the tunnel, I took a moment to rest. As I did, my leg started to convulse uncontrollably.

Clench.

Firmly clenching my teeth, I endured the sensation and waited for it to pass.

The poison was spreading at a faster rate than I had originally anticipated. The time at which it would completely take over me wasn't too far.

"…Looks like I can't take it easy like I've been doing."
