It crashed into me before I could put up any defense or even understand what I was facing. For some seconds, my body remained fine, and it was only when I stepped out of the vehicle that the damage blossomed and I knew what affliction I had suffered.
This wasn't my first time being in such a situation. About a month back and some days, in a mansion belonging to one of my benefactor's wives, I had experienced it....Energy Poisoning.
That was what Mongraty had called it.
