It slams into his body and reverberates. His whole being jolts from the sudden assault that continues long past Kazuya connecting against his head. Navigator instincts useless - fucking useless. So goddamn useless.
His fingers clench tighter out of pure petulance and willpower, then lessen. Fall finger by finger into mud that coats his bloodied gloves.
He's flagging. It fucking hurt. Knocked him almost unconcious with only a thread left keeping him aware and awake. Any second it might snap. Another attack will end it. The ailments aren't helping and impossible to shake off. A coat of lead over bone and muscle. Kazuya will kill him. Could. Akechi won't stop until his mind is knocked out cold, but -
This is close.
He needs to get some distance if he can't finish the job. Peels himself off Kazuya's body to lay on his side in the dirt - Loki drained. Gone.
If Kazuya tries to reach for him, Akechi won't hesitate to act. Silent and still, 1 meter away, laying on his side and watching the king with an unwavering fury.]
