As Corey hovered at the line between life and death, he heard everything the Clown said.
Normally, he would have been completely interested in the Clown's words, but his mind was mainly on his life.
He was dying.
And he knew it.
Despite not keeping anything hidden because he wanted to kill and torture the Pope, the Clown had found a way to pierce through his passive defenses and stab him both in his neck and his heart.
'The dagger.'
Although Corey was on the verge of death, his greatest and most frightening asset when it came down to it was his mind.
Even when he was dying and his body should not be moving, his Stars of Consciousness were able to think for him and they could also move his body even when it was not meant to move.
As long as his Stars of Consciousness were not damaged, Corey's body could move like that of a puppet being controlled, and it was extremely frightening to behold.
