Explode!!
Ash's arms and legs exploded.
A fountain of blood erupted from his body, splattering across the ground in a violent burst.
His upper body fell to the ground, without legs and hands, the impact sending a dull echo through the quiet space.
Ash's eyes regained focus after the explosion of his body parts, the shock forcing his senses to sharpen for a brief second.
But soon, his hands and legs regenerated, the process visible to the naked eye as flesh, muscle, and bone rebuilt themselves in a rapid blur.
This...
It took only a split second, yet hundreds of thoughts ran through Ash mind, overlapping, clashing, and forming conclusions with frantic speed.
Soon he reached one.
Rune of Life was working as usual. There was no problem with the Runes themselves. His injuries were healing without any issue. The only problem was that they were healing without mana pathways.
That meant even if Ash's body was regenerating, his mana pathways were not.
