Tail Ruiz Part 7

Although Tail was strong and the adrenaline of the moment made the pain go unnoticed, at some point it would no longer be ignored and would start hitting him brutally.

Lima’s blows finally began to affect Tail’s body; inside, he was burning. Tail pulled the sword from within Lima and stepped back a few paces.

He fell to his knees, coughing up blood. His body was on fire; he was burning from within. Tail felt intense pain, as if the flames consuming his body were also corroding his soul. He struggled to breathe, each exhale accompanied by more blood that spread across the ground, dripping from his mouth and the deep cut Lima had inflicted. The heat burning inside him felt like a poison slowly killing him.

Lima, still holding his sword, watched Tail with an impassive expression. The battle was nearing its end, but the warrior knew that Tail still had a plan in mind. Tail lifted his head, staring at Lima with his face completely covered in blood.
