I swing Durandal to my left in an attempt to absorb some HP, hoping that it would make me feel just a little bit better..
However, even though the hit probably connected, I do not feel like my condition has improved at all. In fact, I think it might have actually worsened, because I started to break out in a cold sweat.
Yeah, the shocks are definitely getting bigger and more intense. Why? Why is this happening to me? I do not understand! Somebody, anybody, please! Help me understand what is going on with me right now!
I am desperately clutching at my chest as I collapse down onto my knees, hurting them against the hard, stony floor of the Labyrinth. It is getting harder and harder for me to endure the pain that I am feeling right now.
Even my head feels like it has been hit by a major earthquake that continued to rumble inside of it without any intentions of stopping anytime soon.
The trembling and the shivers do not want to stop. They are clinging onto me without the slightest intentions of letting go of me. I cannot think straight anymore. I am starting to feel delirious and I probably have a fever, but I am not really sure about that, because every sensation that I am feeling right now begins to coalesce into a single mess of signals that my brain is trying to decode all at once and it is utterly failing at it.
X X X X X X! X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X! X X X X X X!!!
Sherry rushes to my side and says something, but I cannot understand what she is saying anymore.
All my nerves are feeling as if they have been set on fire by that shock. Pain that I am feeling and how much it hurts: those are the only two things that I am capable of thinking right about now. I cannot bring myself to think about anyone else, because if I try to do that it just ends in me feeling even worse than I am already feeling.
For some bizarre reason, Sherrys face is approaching me. Why? Why is she doing that? As these thoughts bumped into my head, she pressed her lips against mine really tightly. She extends her tongue moves it into my mouth. Sherry, for the love of fuck, what the hell are you doing in the middle of the battle? We are in the Labyrinth here, where there is no time for such displays of affection.
Wait. Poison? Ahh, I see, I get it now. So I was actually poisoned by an attack of that NT Ant that managed to score a sneak attack on me, and that is what caused me to feel this awful shock all over my body. Come to think of it, that dreadful sensation definitely had apoisonousfeeling to it, because I felt as if something was continuously eroding on my body, melting and eating through it from the inside. It was both unbelievably strong and tremendously terrifying, and if I was left without a proper care for just a little while longer, then I am positive that I would have definitely died, so I feel grateful to Sherry for her quick thinking and the immediate decision to jump into action as soon as she saw that something was not right with me but now is not the time to be thinking about that! Now that my mind is cleared, I can finally assess my situation properly, and the conclusion could have been only one: we are still in the middle of combat, and there are still two NT Ants left to deal with, and when I looked around my surroundings, I saw that Roxanne was fighting the other two, and she was dodging their attacks perfectly.Great, this is exactly the opening that I needed!
I quickly got up and attacked the nearest NT Ant with Durandal.
Since it is blindly charging towards Roxanne, I moved in and slashed at it from the side for maximum effectiveness. My body is still feeling somewhat heavy, but with each consecutive blow, I feel like the burden on my body is being lifted little by little, so it would seem that the damage done to me by the poison can be easily recovered with Durandals HP absorptionSkill, so these guys will not be a problem as long as Ibeat them with Durandal.
And just like that, the remaining two NT Ants have been annihilated in a matter of two minutes.
Master, are you alright?!
When the battle was over, Roxanne also immediately rushed to me to check up on my condition since she could not afford to do it while we were still in the middle of the battle.
I am all right now, and I am sorry to have caused you to worry, Roxanne.Now, let us go back to that small room we were in a little while ago.
I do not think there is a anything wrong with me anymore, but just to be on the safe side I should thoroughly confirm my physical condition, so we picked the Poison Needles that the defeated NT Ants left behind when they died and return to the small room where we found the treasure chest.
Okay, we should be safe from any potential monster attacks here.
You girls saved my backside back there. Thank you, both of you. Roxanne, you kept the last two monsters at bay, which allowed Sherry to treat my condition without any interruptions. Thank you, thank you both so very much.
