A muffled groan slipped out of Kalliēl lips as he painstakingly clawed at his humanoid body where a small section on his right hip rapidly turned rotten. A torrent of black blood seeped out between his trembling fingers, but in the next moment, the body's remarkable regenerative ability kicked in and the wound stitched itself together at a speed visible to naked eyes.
But it did not end there.
