Axel could not help but pant heavily, grunting in the severe pain coming from his mangled two hands; though his mind was now much calmer and more serene, almost as if being freed from something that had been secretly influencing him all this while, ever so slightly. He naturally knew what it was; the very thing Lord Gilderon warned him about.
Despite that, it did not help much; strangely, he did not want to think about it at this moment; rather, he just enjoyed the newly earned mental clarity. He felt truly himself. Then he observed the notifications from Prime Nexus, which pleasantly surprised him. He looked at Heinz, who was also sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.
Axel asked, "This is??"
He remembered some things about it, but not the full details; the guy also seemed somewhat shocked, maybe even more than he was. He looked back and forth between Axel and the notifications Prime showed.
