Before Sven and Nadya showed up, Kai couldn't listen to any more of the glowing man's ramblings.
While the so-called Messiah continued his babbling and floated in the air, he burst forward like a bullet, his blood-enhanced body leaving streaks of red in his wake.
But the second he got close...
Fwoom!
The air itself shimmered.
A wave of blistering heat washed over him like a furnace set to maximum.
"-Tch!"
Kai's skin sizzled. Blisters bubbled along his arms and face in seconds. His coat blackened and curled, and smoke began to rise from his limbs. Pain flared across every nerve like molten knives, but his body began mending immediately, blood cells racing to patch the damage as fast as it came.
'Heal. Heal faster,' Kai thought through gritted teeth.
