'Cough!'
The beak easily penetrated the black layer of defense created by the black-star strengthening technique. Blood gushed out unceasingly as the sharp beak of the Vermillion Bird got out from Arthur's chest, creating a gory hole that sealed Arthur's fate.
Apparently, the Vermillion Bird wasn't finished after injuring him this heavily, it tried to open its beak and rip him to shreds.
With blood leaking out of his mouth and a pale face, Arthur held the long chains that were hiding under his sleeves and wrapped them around the beak of the bird. He exerted all his strength as he pulled chains upward, trying to force the opening of the beak as it'll lead to his death.
While he was focusing on dealing with the beak, a black streak similar to a shooting star came from below. This was none other than Makaze which Arthur let go a short time ago. The blade was spinning with incredible speed as it was charging straight at the head of the Vermillion Bird.
