Seiya - Giga Pain Resist

“Endless Dreamer!”

The skull of dark aura filling the air suddenly vanishes. The bad feeling in my gut swells into my throat until I suddenly feel something on my cheek. But when I touch it, countless squirming maggot-like insects stick to my hand.

“Eeeeeeeeek!!”

I try to fling them off, but my arm is already decaying like an undead, and maggots are crawling out from the tears in my flesh!

Wh-wh-wh-what’s going on?! Was I hit with an attack?! But when?!

“Gahhhhhhhhh!”

There is a man by my side screaming as well. It’s Cerceus... and he’s holding one of his arms!

“My arm fell off! It fell offfffffff! And bugs are crawling out of my bodyyyyyy!”

***

“Hyah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hero! The pain you now feel is no different from reality! Your arms and legs will rot off as your organs decay until the pain causes you to go insane!”

“S-Seiya!”

One of Seiya’s eyes pops out and drops to the ground the moment I scream.

“Ack?! He lost one of his eyes!” shrieks Cerceus. Seiya, however, continues to trudge toward Marionelda as if he couldn’t care less.

“It’s just an illusion.”

“B-but Seiya...! Your eye...!”

“It didn’t actually fall out.”

But before Seiya even finishes his sentence, his nose rots off and falls to the ground.

“His nose fell off!”

“It didn’t fall off.”

His other eye falls out and rolls on the ground during the exchange.

“Seiya?! Every part of your face is falling off!”

“I can still see her, despite losing my eyes, and I can still walk even though my legs are gone. That alone is proof that this is simply an illusion.”

Seiya continues to walk. Marionelda suddenly notices that Seiya’s holy aura is burning her body, and her expression grows tense.

“Wh-why?! The pain should be too much to bear! You should be writhing on the floor and passing out! How are you still walking?!”

“So this is your ability? What a worthless power.”
