A Single Clap

I woke up. No, it felt like I woke up, but I probably wasn't out for that long.

The battle with Noir was still ongoing, as could be seen by how the god tamers were having a hard time blocking his attacks. The earlier divided tentacles were now focused solely on them after I fell.

"Ugh...!"

I tried to move, but my body refused to budge. My wounds were severe, and the energy I had was slowly slipping away, dissipating together with my life force in the form of blood. The ringing in my ears never stopped for a moment.

"..."

Slowly, memories started flowing into my mind. They were so fragmented that it was hard to explain in words what the things I recalled were. However, as soon as those memories flowed into my head, my body started moving by itself.
