CH272:SECOND DEATH.

[-50 HP]

[You've suffered broken ribs and a cracked sternum]

No sooner had Ace penetrated his sword through the crevices of the beast's neck scales than it struck him with its claw in the chest. The sheer force of the attack shattered a few of his ribs and broke his sternum, leaving him in considerable pain. The attack, however, had a positive effect by increasing his durability stat, but that wasn't important to him at the moment.

[Emergency Healing: Activated]

[Energy: 810/810 >>> 770/810]

While his body healed, Ace liquefied his sword into a metallic bracer while latching onto the beast's claw. Like a piece of gum stuck on a shoe, Ace remained attached to the beast's foot until it launched him high in the air, approximately ten feet above the beast's head.
