The moment the Soul Drinker's laughter rang out, Guk felt his skull begin to quake, as if several massive hammers were smashing into it from every direction.
"Urgh!"
Guk's throat tickled, and blood erupted like a spring onto the Soul Drinker's torso. Overwhelmed by agony and shock, he staggered backward, while the assassin clung tightly to him.
