Painful Memories
I narrowed my eyes as my space-severing spell cut into Peng Yao.
He staggered backwards a few steps from the impact, dropping the now-empty vial that had contained the elixir he just consumed. The glass container split and shattered into countless little pieces with a loud yet satisfying noise.
Somehow, my attack, even amplified by my Chaos power, was not enough to kill him. I could see a massive cut on his body, but it healed up in the blink of an eye.
"… How troublesome."
Peng Yao's body became bigger, taller. His muscles bulged so much that it tore his shirt apart as he gazed down at his own body in wonder.
"Wow… that man did say this was good stuff, but I never expected it to be this strong…" he muttered, inspecting his own overly-ripped arms.
That man… so, someone gave him this elixir...
… To target me specifically, perhaps?
