Khal walked closer and touched the ice sphere. The ice in Aicel's head melted, and the man desperately gasped for air. But before he could do more, the ice returned and repeated a few more times.
Once the ice melted again. The ice did not return, but around Aicel's body, cracks began to appear.
Even if he was already mostly numb, Aicel could not help but scream in agony. His whole body went limp and became broken.
If one looked inside, his bones had become pulverized.
Aicel's pulse became weak. Even as an A-class esper, this was enough for them to die.
However, as Khal said, Aicel could not die... yet. Who was Khal? Not to mention his methods, he owned a lot of miracle medicines and hoarded them for emergencies. He could afford to waste a few more.
A vial appeared in his hand, and Khal harshly shoved the bottle in Aicel's mouth. Some of the potion streamed down his mouth, but Khal did not care.
Miraculously, the bones began repairing themselves.
