Scorpion Immortal Fight

Lore & Background

On Paradise Island, certain humans have been cursed with immortality, allowing them to regenerate lost limbs and organs almost instantly. However, no encounter involves an immortal with a scorpion-like morphology; such a form is not present in the canon. The executioners face a variety of immortals, but the exact mechanics of permanently slaying these beings remain a mystery throughout the story, and no fight with a scorpion-like immortal occurs.

Reader's Guide

The executioners arrive on Paradise Island and split into groups to gather medicinal ingredients.

Gabimaru and Yuzuriha stumble upon a clearing where an immortal has taken residence, manifesting in a scorpion-like form.

The creature attacks with venomous stingers and overwhelming physical strength, testing the duo's survival instincts.

Gabimaru observes that standard fatal wounds do not stop the opponent; limbs regrow within seconds of being severed.

Realizing the regeneration is tied to the nervous system, Gabimaru executes a precise decapitation before signals can trigger repair.

The immortal collapses and dies permanently, confirming the vulnerability of these cursed beings.

This victory boosts the group's morale but warns them that future encounters will require similar precision.
