"Haah," I exhaled deeply, letting the icy sensation dissipate. As it faded completely, the sword in my hand disintegrated into a fine mist, vanishing into the atmosphere.
Finally, those slippery creatures were gone. Turns out their brains were actually in their abdomens—how that works, I have no idea—but once I figured it out, it was just a matter of creating bullets and focusing on precision. One by one, I struck them down until none remained.
"Haah," I breathed again, staring at my palm. What was that feeling?
I couldn't quite place it… but there was another power stirring within me, something I couldn't yet understand.
"Status."
Silence.
Nothing appeared.
"Well… I guess I should find somewhere to rest," I muttered, glancing around before starting to walk.
I still didn't know exactly where I was. This place… it was unfamiliar.
And those creatures.
Hmm.
