He shoved his fingers into the socket, tearing out the eye as blood began to spill, rendering him fully blind. However, he wouldn't need his sight to kill the lowly Tarnished. "Grah! A-Argh... Gah... Phew..."

The winged serpent's scales turned white as a flame began to burn from it; scorching Messmer's own body in the process. "Soon, Tarnished. Wilt thou be taken in the jaws... Of the abyssal serpent, shorn of light."
