When I woke up, my body had fully regenerated again, and I was resting above the snow.
Everything I experienced in that fight felt like a really bad dream, but it was real, all of it, wasn't it?
Yeah…
"You're finally awake."
The Ice Queen's voice greeted me, she was sitting right to my left side, she had a rather pleasant smile in her often serious and expressionless face.
"Ah… I lost pretty badly again, seems like I passed out."
She chuckled at my words.
"No, no, I would say you won in a way. You were able to develop something incredible, something that might have even surpassed a Venerable's Enlightened Senses, in a way. Something only you with your body could accomplish properly."
Memories of what I had done quickly reached my mind, of feeling my soul and body melt and become like water, quite figuratively and literally.
