Everyone gasped, watching with wide eyes as my lifeless body lay splattered on the ground. Aria widened her eyes in shock, and Seylith narrowed his eyes, not trying to hide the mysterious smile on his face.
The upper half of my body was separated from my torso, lying in my own pool of blood; overall, it was a very gruesome scene.
To them, at least, from my point of view, everything felt a little different.
I knew it.
I tried to speak but failed to move my mouth, instead being forced to watch the carnage around me. The defenses on my uniform had activated the instant it had come in contact with that monster, encasing me in a defensive golden cocoon.
It was quite a shame that it had taken me so long to realize this. I looked at the sight of a panicking Aria lunging towards the beast, trying to make an opening for the mages behind her.
