The B-rank boy heard the noise. He turned around, his smile fading to incredulity.
The pieces of my body, scattered on the grass, were liquefying into a kind of black, energetic sludge that crawled to gather around my head.
It wasn't my physical body that was regenerating. It was something else.
I had just understood, in that moment of impending death. Regeneration didn't just apply to the physical body. It applied to all the layers.
I had forced the dissociation. My spiritual body, the Aura envelope, was rebuilding itself, using my destroyed physical body as mere fuel.
In a few seconds, a new body, my body, was completely reformed, rising from the ground. I was naked, but whole. And more powerful than before.
A notification flashed before my eyes.
[Extreme survival condition met. Fundamental mastery acquired.]
[Passive skill unlocked: Spiritual Body Regeneration.]
The boy was looking at me, terrified. "It's... it's impossible! I killed you!"
