While Greed felt the pressure the Meta applied on his throat, it didn't hinder him in the slightest. The blows to the rock lodged in his skull, on the other hand, were quite effective. Greed lay on the floor, shaking in pain as the rock penetrated his eyesocket, blood sometimes squirting, but more often simple gushing from the wound. For a moment, Greed laid motionless, but then life sprang to him again as his hands wrapped around the Meta's helmet. As this happened, red sparks showed from the wound. The fragments of rock were pushed out, and the bone structure, accompanied by the eyeball and muscle tissue reformed, followed by the skin. Initially, the skin where the wound was was a normal tone, but the grey tone quickly crept over it again. "That... fucking hurt!!" Greed angrily exclaimed as he applied great force on both sides of the helmet, force great enough to grind stone to dust.
