The Author's POV

Chapter 685

"Cough…Cough…"

Kevin's coughing fit started right in the middle of him organizing the stack of papers that were sitting in front of him.

While he was protecting his mouth with his hand, he became aware of a wet feeling in his hand. When he looked up at his hand, he noticed that blood was dripping down the spaces between his fingers.

He quickly removed his hand from his mouth.

'It looks like this is a lot more severe than I had originally thought.'

This was the price that Kevin needed to pay in order to seal an entity that stood at the very pinnacle of the world, or, to be more accurate, the universe.

It should come as no surprise that sealing such a person would result in significant drawbacks and injuries; Kevin was suffering as a direct consequence of his actions.

He had long known that something like this would've happened, and he didn't regret his actions.

"Pftt.."

Another mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and his complexion became noticeably paler. He noticed that his vision was becoming distorted, and his right hand started shaking.

The symptoms only lasted for a couple of minutes before Kevin was able to recover with the assistance of a potion that he had placed by his side.

It was something that he had prepared earlier in anticipation of something like this happening.

"Cough…thank god I didn't have to fight over the past month."

One of the reasons he remained in his office the entire time was due to his injuries. He was in no way qualified to fight anyone at the moment.

At the moment, unless he was pushed to go all out, even a newly promoted rank could beat him.

"Ukh."

Kevin let out another groan and then covered his forehead with his arm.

After regaining his composure with a few long, slow breaths, he was finally able to refocus his attention on the documents that were spread out on the desk in front of him.

As he reached for his pen to put his signature on the papers, he suddenly became aware that the world around him was beginning to warp severely.
