on the Gulwak's arm and its elbow shattered like a glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gulwak lost its balance after losing the arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo kicked the spear-wielding Gulwak, and rushed at the first Gulwak whose limb was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed its head and used the last remaining stack of Necrotic Touch on its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another Necrotic Touch applied to its jaw, the Spell's strength increased and the Gulwak's face crumbled into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the second Gulwak pierced his left leg from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fueled by adrenaline, Neo grabbed the axe logged in his shoulder and smashed it on top of the spear-wielding Gulwak's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Necrotic Touch finished the first Gulwak at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo fell to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Gulwaks were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at death's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arm, shoulder, and leg were…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo noticed his arm was no longer broken and the shoulder stopped bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was slowly but surely healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he pulled the spear out of his leg, the injury started to close itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's your God Blood.
