"Be thankful I'm not as spiteful as I was in the past." He crouched down next to her. "This would've lasted much longer and been far more excruciating for you." Arthur quickly continued as his eyes locked onto hers. "It still can be. Saving you from these wounds would be simple enough." Humming, he then looked over her once more as if trying to come to a decision.
"Arthur!" Cassidy called again. "What about everyone else!? Are ya gonna just leave us here after ya kill her!? We need you, but ya can't stay here if ya murder the Priestess!"
Floyd was quickly pinned to the ground as Arthur began to look across the area. He began panting more and more. It was odd. Watching him, it almost appeared as if he was becoming feral. Things quickly changed when wounds started to appear across Arthur's body. Old wounds, from what I could tell. Blood started to pour down from him as he struggled to turn back to Arceana.

Falling to his knees, he dropped his sword. Arthur's head snapped forward as his back arched. He began to vomit an excessive amount of blood onto Arceana. Mixed in the blood was a blue liquid that was similar to his energy and the lines on his body. Bringing his hands up to his mouth, he tried to stop it, but it continued. Panting in between his vomiting, the force holding us down disappeared.
Standing and running over to Arceana, I came to a stop when Arthur puked once more. However, this time, it was bright blue like his energy. His body shook as the lines on his face disappeared. Even his hands returned to normal, but not before he grabbed Arceana by her face angrily. Instead of addressing her, he looked at us as we carefully approached.
"Do you think it will matter if any of you kill me?" He asked weakly. "I'll come back." Arthur warned. "I always come back..." His breathing became haggard and raspy.
His eyes, and their unnatural symbols, faded. Silver eyes greeted us as he looked around shakily. Arthur looked like a wounded and cornered animal that was defending his prey. Huffing as blood and the blue liquid dripped down his chin, he glared at all of us. It was only for a moment before he fell unconscious on top of my sister.
