Even with his head cut off, Alex could still sense the world around him through his Nascent Soul.
There had been many instances when Alex had killed a Saint with a soul and that soul had innocently flown out of the soul, completely unaware of the world around him.
However, that hadn't happened to him at all. He wondered why that was.
Was it because his body was special? Was it because his mental strength was quite stronger than most people? Or was it because of the Undying Physique which made it so that his body wasn't truly dead even with his head cut off?
Any of these possibilities, or a combination of these possibilities could have done what had happened to him just then.
However it had happened, his soul had gained consciousness, and through that soul, he had realized that he could still control parts of his body.
