The screaming energy was gone.
The plaza was dead quiet.
The crimson rage faded away, and my eyes went back to their usual cold, silver color.
Man, I was tired.
So tired I could barely stand.
That berserker thing had totally burned me out.
Then the System chimed in, cold and clear like it always is.
I didn't even have to think about it.
Ten points went straight into my health.
The other ten went into my willpower.
I needed to be tougher, and I needed more control.
The System also told me I'd copied a new skill from Kazuki's soul.
Okay, a decent defensive skill.
But then a warning popped up.
Great.
