Unexpected Outcome
Vincent reverted back to his human form, gasping for air as the exhaustion of battle took its toll. But he didn't let it show, not in front of the small creatures that still posed a threat with their sharp claws. They might be weak but he was too exhausted to deal with them .
"I have to appear strong, or they'll surely attack me," he muttered to himself, trying to steel his nerves.
Forcing himself to stand, he walked slowly over to the huge creature's corpse, his eyes scanning for the fragment he had risked his life for.
"Maybe that fragment would instantly heal my body ?" He couldn't help but chuckle at his own thoughts. He hoped he was like one of those video game characters who automatically get a full health bar after leveling up. He wished it was that easy in real life, but alas, no cheat codes could fix his current predicament.
