Blood spread beneath Lucas. There was no denying that Awakeners had powerful physiques. Lucas had taken more than a dozen slashes to the chest and abdomen from Su Xiao before finally falling. The black mist around him could rapidly restore his injuries. After all, this was a world above Lv.40 in difficulty—or rather, the Ghost World already had the difficulty of an early-stage Tier 5 Derivative World.
