Once again, I released the built-up steam from within my body in one long exhale, the atmosphere in front of me turning slightly foggy.
"Huff… huff… huff… huff… Finally… I managed to-"
My eyes rolled into the back of my head, and from my neck down, everything went completely numb, my body collapsing onto the ground.
[You have tamed the Angel Core]
[You have gained your second ring]
All of a sudden, my mind went blank, and as I attempted to sit up, I found myself just falling further down, a searing pain once again wrapping itself around my heart.
I couldn't hold onto my consciousness any longer, and before I knew it, everything in my mind had been taken away.
I was left standing in a plane of open darkness, a single white bead of light floating gently in front of me like a wisp of fused aetheric fairies.
