Jacob maxed out the power of his Focus Technique to fight back, yet the golden elixir and draconic essence in his body surprisingly cracked under immense pressure.
At this rate, Jacob's life would end once the golden elixir was destroyed. Even if he miraculously survived, he would be permanently impaired.
Crack!
A loud crack later, more scales on Jacob's body snapped, and blood seeped from his skin.
Gradually, the golden scales on Jacob's body cracked and yielded, revealing fresh, bleeding wounds underneath.
Jacob's eyes turned bloodshot from the effort of holding the immense pressure at bay, which threatened to flatten him into a paste.
Despite the struggles, he continued to advance slowly. He was thankful to even move several centimeters closer to the tomb, given that turning back was no longer an option.
