David caught the scent of death once again.
That ice-cold feeling could trigger the deepest fear in the heart of any living creature.
Though he knew this bizarre world held many powers beyond his understanding, this ability to bypass life energy and directly decree a target's "instant death" scared him so badly his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
When that terrifying shadow power slammed down heavily, his health bar immediately bottomed out.
But bottoming out didn't mean hitting zero. He'd kept 1 point of life energy—this was the final sliver of hope the "death curse" left for the living.
Normally, this tiny bit of life would quickly fade under the shadows' devouring, but David had made the right choice earlier and luckily dodged disaster.
He'd performed the Limb Grafting Ritual. That construct arm had been absorbed into his body, and the special metal core infused with life force instantly replenished his health.
