Poison That Fills The Lungs

Veins popped out from Mika's head, the blood was coming out from the mouth and nose. The eyes started getting redder. Mika closed his mouth with his hand because he felt like he's gonna vomit. But he couldn't hold it and vomited a liter of blood.

("Fuck! I wanna help Ryuma but I can't move my body. Was it some kind of poison he threw at me?!") Mika drank the antidote from his pocket but it had no effect. 

("Ugh, my condition is getting worse! The antidote isn't working from this poison powder. It builds up antibodies to fight the poison and prevent it from spreading but this only works on liquid type of poison! I don't have any way to fight this poison that's flowing through my lungs right now...")

Mika is silent and gives a deep thought...

("Poison... Lungs... This probably could work.") The mana gathered on the tip of Mika's finger. With it, he presses his finger to his chest where the respiratory tract is.

("I've studied human autonomy in my old school before so I know exactly where it is... Found it! The poison started spreading from the pharynx, then to Larynx then to the Trachea. Lastly to the Lungs.") Mika's condition has gotten worse since the poison is spreading fast.

("Ok plan A, I need to make an antibody as poison killer. Make a hole to my lungs, and pour the antibody in. Except, I practically had nothing except a few healing and mana potions. And some antidote. Wait, it could work.") Mika uses the empty bottle of antidote and pours mana potion into it. Along with a healing potion and antidote. As soon he's done, he makes a few holes in his chest. 

("To human's organs, mana liquid is the poison that'll make them lose their sense of touch and stop working. If you drink too much, you'll get paralyzed and some part of the body will stop functioning. There has been a case where people died of heart malfunctioning because of it. But in this case, it's a gamble. I'll stop the poison with a stronger poison!")

Mika pours a sum of liquid into the hole of his chest. As the second goes by, Mika feels both pain and pleasure.

("It works! Antidote works as a poison killer. Even if it wasn't effective, it'll still save me from death. Mana potion works as a paralyzer, the poison is spread by blood and air but once my organ stops functioning it can't spread any further. Healing potion works as an organ healer. When my organ is damaged, along with my passive healing, it will heal the organ and make them function again.")

Mika tried to get up but he suddenly vomited a lot of blood.

At the same time on Ryuma and Rudy's side, Ryuma tried to hit Rudy a few times but all of the attacks were blocked by the blue shield as he was about to make contact with him. Rudy started back off and fired a few missiles on Ryuma but it was evaded.

("Shit, that blue shield is harder than my skull it's actually frustrating!") Ryuma comes close in contact with Rudy and tries to hit him. But it was just a feint, with a finger pointed at Rudy, Ryuma was using Fingshot at a close distance. But the bullet only scratches Rudy's cheeks as he barely evaded it.

"So close~ So close~ If I'm late by 0.4 seconds, it would have pierced my brain." Ryuma clicked his tongue, and was about to come in close contact with Rudy again. But as soon as Rudy has come in his range, Rudy tries to punch him in the head. Ryuma sees the fist and evades it but an explosion occurs. Right beside his head.

Ryuma dropped to the floor meanwhile Rudy kicked Ryuma in the stomach thus making him hit the wall from the kick. As Ryuma was about to get up Rudy walked closer to him.

"Now now, how should I finish you I wonder? I could blow up your head like I did to your other friend. Or do you prefer to be burned instead?" A fire is burning on Rudy's palm. Ryuma knew that he didn't want to make a choice. So he makes one himself...

"How about I crush that smug face of yours? I actually don't like your smile it creeps me."

"Haha, there's no way there's no way~" At the same time, Rudy felt a presence that was gripping his left arm tight. It was Mika, ready to punch Rudy in the face. But what happened for the next second, was unexpected for both of them...

"What?!"

"His arm...?"

Yes, Rudy's arm just separated from its owner. But what's more strange is the fact there's no blood coming out. Mika, who was holding Rudy's arm felt confused. As he's looking at Rudy, a gleaming light shining from Rudy's arm that was separated.

*BOOM*

"Mika!" Ryuma is also surprised about Rudy's arm and is distracted by it sees Mika get shot by an explosive beam. Fortunately, Mika survived the explosion and had his body passively at the same time. Rudy tried to finish Mika but was disturbed by Ryuma.

Rudy blocked Ryuma with Blue Shield but he did not see his leg as Ryuma gave him a low kick. The kick almost makes Rudy fall from being unable to balance himself. But Rudy stopped himself from falling with his one remaining hand and kicked Ryuma in the air. Ryuma blocked it but what happened next was Rudy took a rock on the floor and threw it at him.

The stone comes in the form of dust and Ryuma was about to walk inside it. But Mika pushes Ryuma before he breathes in it.

"No Ryuma that dust is dangerous!" Ryuma is confused and asks why.

"What's wrong?!"

"I'm pretty certain that is poison powder he throws at me!"

"Poison powder? No way! That was the rock he picked up and crushed it as he threw it."

"That's the same for me. He picked up a fragment of rubble on the floor and threw it at me."

"That's ridiculous! You make it sound like he can turn stone into the poison powder!" At that moment, it clicked. Both of them locked their eyes on Rudy.
