It was the most painful moment Lucivar had experienced in his entire life.
As soon as his body dipped into gold, flesh, muscle, and sinew liquified, peeling from the bone.
He couldn't breathe, and his entire body was broken down into bits.
And rapidly, he lost all of his senses.
Gold is the flesh of the Gods, that's what Sutekh believed, and his body was now reformed accordingly.
First, it started from the bones.
He could feel the magical sensation, the liquid gold seeping into his bones.
Not gently, but forcefully.
It forced its way through like a flood, driving into cracks, widening them, creating micro-tears as it went.
His marrow was overwhelmed, filled by the relentless torrent, until his very skeleton began to change.
Visibly, his bones darkened, then brightened, turning gold.
Like metal heated in a forge, hardening to an absolute degree. Unbreakable. Eternal.
Once his skeleton was made anew, the liquid gold shifted.
