Angel stared blankly. "95%? It's reversing?"
As he thought this, Frod's corruption continued to recede—94%, 93%, 92%... At an extremely rapid pace, it fell back to around 90%.
Then it paused at that point for about ten minutes before continuing to drop.
This time, it fell much faster—90%, 80%, 70%... like a vertical plunge. Before Angel could even react, it had dropped all the way to the bottom.
