Despite the fact that the explosion was still expanding and shredding the environment, Cedric didn't wait and immediately lunged into the eye of the storm in the form of a hundred ravens.
Inside the swirling flames, he could see Lee Lim yelling at the top of his lungs in pure, agonized fury.
The man was fully naked because his fine clothes had all decayed, leaving him exposed in the blast. Half of his face had decayed and all his hair was gone. A small part of his right hand, which held the small rod, was now nothing but brittle, grey bone.
It seemed that the only reason his entire body was not reduced to dust was because he had activated the flames of decay at the last minute.
"W-what is this?"
When he saw and heard the ravens flying around, his face twisted in sheer disbelief, and with his one good eye darting around, he yelled:
"What is this?! I thought I killed you?"
