*Slash!*
Taufik's katana swept through John's body without making so much as a whisper.
The blade passed through him as though his body were nothing more than an illusion. John didn't feel a thing, not even the slightest pain.
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then...
*CRACK!*
A strange sound echoed through the room, like glass breaking into countless pieces.
*CRASH!*
John and the others immediately opened their eyes. All four pairs of eyes turned toward Taufik.
"...Are you done?"
"Yep! The curse is gone. You can live a little longer now!"
"..."
John stared at him for a moment before cautiously examining his own body.
He circulated his Mana, allowing it to flow from his core throughout his entire body. Normally, the curse would interfere with the flow, causing discomfort and making it difficult for him to control his Mana.
But now...
There was nothing.
