A Mortal Like Everyone Else

His pale arm turned an unholy shade of purple and a liquid reminiscent of blueberry jelly oozed from its surface. On contact with the air, the substance instantly evaporated into a gas and Shamash inhaled some of it despite his readiness to bury himself under the huge spectral creature he had just summoned.

RAAAARRGH!
A blast of energy shattered the spectral summoner from within and the titanic black minotaur reappeared in the center of the Purgatory. In this form, the poison became insignificant and Shamash finally managed to stop its spread.
