The Dark Apostle suffered a major wound in the latest exchange of blows!
His superdimensional raiment gained a giant hole, leaving him completely open to follow-up attacks!
If that was not bad enough, a considerable amount of blackwater had melted through his shoulder, causing him to effectively lose strength in left arm!
The Dark Apostle, and by extension Ves, had become crippled!
This was a serious injury to a phase lord. Ves did not even know for certain whether it was even possible to make a full restoration. He already blamed his other self for being so reckless and self-sacrificing in battle!
"You idiot! You didn't have to take so many risks! You are not piloting a mech! A machine can easily lose an entire limb without serious consequences as long as there is enough money and materials to reconstruct the broken parts. The same cannot be said for our true bodies!"
Ves grew both alarmed and afraid!
