'Tch.'
The weakness came.
It was sudden…
A deep weakness that paralyzed every bone in his body.

How long had it been since he was crippled from a fight, unable to move?

'All I received were three physical strikes.'

STEP

"But you're still too weak—but also too young," she said, her left claw rising to her chin as she rubbed it, eyes watching Ryuk with a thoughtful look.
