After the roaring dust, in the dim light of the ruins, only a single figure remained standing, signaling the final victor.
"Cough, cough..."
Norm groaned in pain, lying on the ground, as the fierce blow from the Shock Hammer had sunk the surrounding ground considerably, embedding him into it.
Thanks to the enhancement of "Dragon Blood," the blow from the Shock Hammer didn't kill him but left him utterly powerless, his chest had caved in, ribs were completely broken, and every breath brought the pain of a sharp blade cutting through, with blood gushing out.
His arms were completely twisted and broken, and the glow of the "Alchemy Matrix" on his body had dimmed, as if it would extinguish at any second.
"Ha... Ha..."
Norm took deep breaths, although in such a miserable state, he knew Bologue must be in no better condition.
Bologue had lost his left hand, and when he smashed Norm's chest, the poison from his own "Dragon Blood" must have splattered onto himself.
