"Haaa...haa."
Alex gasped heavily trying to breathe in as he felt a little bit of restlessness.
His throat felt dry and he tried to open his lips which seemed to be stuck together like glue.
His eyelids felt heavy as he tried to lift them to see where he was and what was going on.
Alex looked blankly at his surroundings almost as if he had awoken after a long dream. The blurry vision was blinding and painful for him.
He can feel the exhaustion eroding his whole body and a single movement of his muscles brought him an onslaught of pain.
He felt as if his body was tearing up. In fact, he wasn't able to lift a single finger which made him realize how powerless he had become.
"That Devil bastard."
"Devil is not evil. My foot."
When The Devil taught him black magic and forbidden spells, he clearly said that the repercussions and aftermath weren't great and would just take a toll on him.
