"Haah!"
The battle's conclusion left Eren drenched in the poisonous wyvern blood, a testament to the perilous struggle he had faced.
Eren felt the weight of exhaustion settling upon him like an anchor, his body aching from the taxing battle with the wyvern.
The Hex Armor, pushed to its limits, had drained him considerably. Yet, an odd sensation surged through him as the wyvern's dark red blood coated his entire form. His vision blurred, and dizziness washed over him. His mana circuits swelled and his mana core was nearing depletion.
From the contact with the wyvern's blood, visible wisps of smoke rose from Eren's skin, and an unsettling change seemed to stir within him. His limbs felt weak and unsteady, as if his bones had turned to mush. The pull of exhaustion tempted him to close his eyes and surrender to sleep for days on end, but he resisted, focusing on the wyvern's corpse before him.
