Despite knowing Neo had come to kill him, Flamejaw stared at Neo with gratitude.
His flames died.
Cracks spread through his body, and he crumbled into ashes.
"Why was he staring at me like that?" Neo muttered, pissed.
Flamejaw had regained sanity at the last second. He was supposed to have gone berserk, or cursed at Neo for killing him just after Tartarus' control over him disappeared.
But he was thankful instead.
"Fuck, this whole place is making me feel shitty."
He clicked his tongue, and was about to summon True Darkness when he suddenly stopped.
Blood leaked from his eyes.
"…My body's condition is worsening."
He had grown considerably stronger and durable thanks to devouring two Zones, but the Madness had similarly grown.
The stress, anxiety and all negative emotions it brought had started to affect his physical body.
His Blessing, Life, and Holy element were barely keeping him together.
If he stopped them for a second, he would die.
