Dominic roared, and the water seemed to boil while bubbling and gurgling.
Austin pressed on the older man’s shoulders to try and control the latter’s movements. Soon after, Austin was surprised to see a drastic change in Dominic’s arms.
Initially, something resembling worms wriggled as if trying to break through the skin but could not find an exit. Austin watched as the skin on his granduncle’s arms bulged and then returned to normal repeatedly.
If an ordinary person witnessed it, they would undoubtedly be frightened. Then the worm-like things continued to move around until they reached the silver needles’ locations. It was as if they had suddenly found an exit.
The area around the silver needles pulsed twice, and black blood flowed through. It looked horrifying.
Dominic’s back was already full of needles, and now blood continuously flowed out along those needles.
Only a few drops appeared initially, but all the silver needles gradually oozed blood. It was as if the virus had finally found an exit and were squeezing out wildly, jostling each other to be the first.
The black blood flowed into the bathtub, mixing with the medicinal water inside and quickly permeating it.
The water in the bathtub gradually changed color, becoming pitch black and horrifying. Along with this change, Dominic's body underwent a significant transformation.
His cries of pain gradually diminished and eventually stopped. He no longer struggled desperately, as if he had drained all his strength at once. Immediately after, he slid down uncontrollably without any energy to support himself.
Austin noticed his granduncle’s body sliding into the bathtub and quickly changed his grip, switching from restraining Dominic from above to supporting him from below. Austin caught the older man’s drooping body and felt its weight.
