The salamander started to attack again. With a limp walk, I avoided its pounced. There were several moments when its attacks almost hit my body. Even so, because of my experience, I could dodge it in a crucial and critical moment like this.
(Must... avoided... those... attacks!) I concentrated fully on every attack it served.
Even so, my consciousness began to slowly decrease. My Vision started to blur suddenly. My breath began to rush like I was running. Even so, I tried to endure all of this. Enduring based on the determination I had... based on that feeling...
(Relax... remembered your revenge... misery... agonized!) I started to re-strengthen and focus on my mind and body.
At this time, my body strengthened back. I gripped my balisong in my left hand. Tightly gripped I did. My mind began to focus on one goal...
Endured... Survived... Kill!
As if the salamander understood my current condition right now, the salamander started to attack again. This time, the salamander started to open its mouth widely. As if the salamander was ready to pounce on me. The salamander did that while running toward me.
On the other hand, I remained in my current position. Calmly, I waited for the moment. The moment that I started to choose wisely, especially at this crucial time!
(Focus! Not now!) I started to wait.
The salamander was already seven meters away from me. On the one hand, I waited patiently. Waiting for the moment to counterattack...
The distance between us started to close by about five meters. Its mouth gaped widely at me. At that moment, I saw the gap...
(That!) I avoided its attack sprightly.
I dodged the attack by taking the left salamander side from my point of view. That moment coincided with it already occupying my previous position. With alacrity and careful calculation, I avoided the salamander attack.
(Now!) I executed the next plan I had.
When I'd avoided it, I stabbed the salamander in the neck. With my balisong, I slashed sharply while holding my breath from its poisonous.
*Stab!* Slashh!*
From the neck to the stomach had been slashed longwise. Not only that but also deep. As a result of the attack I made, blood from the salamander started to spurt out. Not only blood, but some of its organs started to slowly come out.
As a result, the salamander fell instantly. The moans of pain sound like a baby who didn't feed for days. Its cry turned into a deafening monster scream.
(Must... kill... it!) I continued to slash and stab its body while enduring my pains.
As a result, I could injure the salamander's body. The salamander's body bled profusely already. Its internal organs came out everywhere. Slowly but surely, the salamander's voice began to groan slowly. A sign that the salamander started dying.
Realizing this, I rushed up on top of the salamander's body. However, my body almost fell because of losing a lot of strength. This made me hard to walk.
(Close... so much close... kill!) I forced all of my strength to walk again.
After a few steps I forced myself to take it, I was finally in over its head. For a moment, the salamander moved a little as if it wanted to knock me down. Even so, I maintained my position by sitting on top of its neck while stabbing my knife at its neck. So, I wouldn't fall from that area.
After my distance from its head neared, I started to stab the salamander's head. Continuously stabbing its head like a mad person.
(Die... die... DIE!) I muttered as I kept stabbing its head.
After a few minutes of I did that, the salamander didn't move again. Realizing this, I immediately got off its body slowly. Walk while leaving the salamander's body left behind.
I walked slowly. Tracing every path that I had previously walked. Although I killed all that salamander, my eyes weren't seeing clearly as if my eyes blurred. The energy I had seemed to run out. In the end, I fell to the ground.
At that moment, the moment of drowsiness heavied. I wasn't able to hold back that drowsiness. Until finally... I fell asleep on the ground.
***
A few moments later, I began to open my eyes. This time, I started to wake up. While blinking and rubbing my eyes, I looked around.
As I looked around, I saw several bodies of salamanders had been lying motionless. Realizing this, I also accidentally looked at my right hand. When I looked closely, my right hand had been separated previously, was reunited as before.
(Did I die before....) I sighed for a second.
Realizing this situation, I immediately confirmed some of the salamanders. Slowly and carefully, I started checking their conditions.
When I checked, I didn't feel any body movement from them. Apart from that, I also hit them with the handle of my balisong. However, all of this yielded absolutely zero results. More like... creatures had been dead already...
(So, they were already died, huh....) I started to understand this situation.
Even so, I still held feelings of worry about the last salamander. I didn't really remember whether I had already killed it or not. Based on that feeling, I finally checked its condition... condition of the last salamander...
After a while I walked, I saw the last salamander. Carefully, I checked its condition. Just like the previous salamanders, the last salamander didn't move again at all.
"Fiuhhl!" I was finally relieved. "I thought the last salamander...." I started to fall at sit position on the ground.
When I sat down, I heard Nostradamus clapping his hands from above. Hearing that, I immediately replied,
"What's funny, asshole?!" I spoke with an annoyed tone.
"HAHAHA!" he started to laugh. "What a dramaturgy thou'rt! Did thou realize that thou already killed all of that in the first place? But... I can't control my laugh!" he started to laugh again.
"Fuck it!" I was annoyed again. "I thought I had been killed first. That's why I'm concerned about those salamanders!"
"Hah??!" he started to bust laughing. "Did lose thy mind? Thou'rt already killed it! All of it. Thy expression! Thy eyes! Everything! What a glorious-vengeful spirit thou'rt!"
"Did I??!" I started to shock after a second.
"Well!" he started talking again. "By the way, I got bad news for thy!"
"What is it?? Is it kind of your nihilism joke again?!"
"No, actually!" he started talking again. "Did thou think that I kind of that person?!"
"Honestly, no. More like an asshole for your description right now!"
"What an honest man thou art!" he started to talk again. "Furthermore! I started to speak about that bad news because it related to thou!"
"What is this!" My curiosity started to rise.
"Because something unexpected happen before!" he cleared his throat. "Thou didn't have to finish all of the floors. Thou started to wake up less than five minutes again!"
"What??! You mean... I started to wake up... the "real" wake up???" I started to confusion.
"Of course, bird brain! Thou started to wake up. Did you know about wake from sleep, ain't?!"
(I didnt expect that much. But, is it "bad" news for him???" I started to confusion again.
"So.... what I must do? Sleep or did something else???"
"Nah! It's okay for you to did something or whatever. When the time had come, you started to fall asleep!"
"Okay.... so, how about the good news???"
When I just said that, I started to feel heavy drowsiness suddenly. Because of that too, the balance of my body seemed to shake. With fast momentum, I started to fall to the ground because of my drowsiness.
"Of course! I almost forgot about that one!" he started to speak with a joyful tone. "Of course, The good news is... thou began to apply those experiences directly to them. O embodiment of avenger spirit!" he said with a deeper tone.
After he said that, I lost consciousness and began to sleep.

My eyes started to open slowly. At the same time, I began to get up with a heavy dizzy sensation. I held my head reflexly.
(Shit! It's more like jet lag after I flew with a plane!) While hissed.
At that time, I looked around reflexly. When I noticed, I was in my living room. The same living room as I used to have before. Some items are still neatly arranged as before. Not only that, some of the furniture had been arranged too. From these conclusions, I concluded that... I had returned to my original world.
Not long after that, a welcoming voice sounded to me,
"Welcome back, my dear Besper!"
When I searched for the sound, I was shocked. I saw a gorgeous woman. The woman had skin as white as milk. She had shoulder-length hair with silver as its color. Her beautiful eyes occasionally moved as if greeting me. Even so, she only wore a brown towel when she met me. The drops of water after a shower wet her body. Just like... she finished taking a bath before.
"Wh-wh-wh-who are you?!" I started backward crawling to the wall.
She replied,
"It's me, bird brain. Nostradamus! The seer of future who loved you so much!" she said with a joyful tone and smiled at me.
