Chapter 565 Too Hot.

Pain is a word whose meaning human beings understand almost from the moment of their birth. Desmond thought he understood pain. He had suffered it many times and in great amounts. On that occasion, he consumed the fruit, <Soul of Twilight>, his most memorable memory in this regard.

Desmond knew how wrong he had been all this time, only after soaking in the volcanic essence sap. The pain was on a whole new level for him. It was like being burned alive, every inch of his skin burning, every fiber of his flesh boiling, as his bones melted away.

Despite his great self-control, Desmond still couldn't resist the urge to cry out in pain, which was a huge mistake on his part. Instantly, whole mouthfuls of sap poured down his throat, burning his body from the inside. Desmond could feel his internal organs dissolving from the heat.
