"…Huh?"

That was the first word to escape my lips as I regained consciousness.

I just stood there, holding a sword in front of me—its blade pointing towards… Lucas?

No.

More like the lifeless body of Lucas.

Wait.

Is he dead…?

What the fuck just happened?!

[DING!]

I looked down at my watch.

[Your opponent is now deemed incapacitated. You win.]

…Really?

I glanced around. Everyone else was still fighting.

Weird.

Well, whatever.

With that, I walked away, leaving him to his fate.

'Ryan…'

'Nelia?'

'…You're dead.'

'Wait… what?!' My eyes widened as I tried to process what I had just heard.

Dead?!

'Hey, Nelia!' I called out, but there was no response.

It took a moment, but I finally understood.

Fuck.

Is that what happened? Did my blessing take control…?

…Come on, Nelia. I really had no control over it.

…Nelia.
