While Shining White was still focused on the lifeless Silver, Sett had absorbed the invisible man's Tomb Hearts, growing stronger and healing his own injuries.
[Tomb Walker progress: +2 Tomb Hearts]
["LOW" Tier 2 Tomb Walker evolution requirements met!]
Sett's titanium-like body buzzed with energy. His heart, which hadn't beat rhythmically in ages, beginning its first beats gently. It was at first a gentle lull, but as Sett's breathing quickened, his heart began to beat a bit more erratically.
A sharp, metallic taste filled his mouth.
Blood?
I have blood in my mouth?
The realization struck him.
His sense of taste had returned.
Ah, my sense of touch heightened enough to return my sense of taste.
Sett wanted to shout right then and there in celebration. Taste was one thing he couldn't live without.
He sniffed, nose slightly red.
Sett almost. Almost. Cried.
He had thought he would need to become a Tier 3 Tomb Walker before he got his sense of touch back.
