THREE TENTACLES ARE missing, and then we move to phase two. I'm running like a madman around the flower — I must have left my footprints for how many times I've trodden the ground, and I'm getting tired of this ridiculous merry-go-round. I know my thoughts are rudimentary and lack Gaz's refined grace; my body is still human, and I only have my normal abilities. With electric discharges, I would have taken him out in two seconds... my usual luck. My power that doesn't want to awaken is as lazy as the Demon on the flower. All this makes me laugh a bit.

The wound on my side has stopped pouring blood onto my pants and is crusting over... I see the pink new skin, the red outline marking the tear of the old skin, and the blood solidifying. It will get infected if I don't hurry, Holy Dragons. The deep burning doesn't stop and sometimes compromises my clarity.

I'm covered in scratches on my neck, back — the hooks, trying to grab me, have torn the fabric of my one-shoulder shirt — and arms. They blaze on me, but this pain keeps me active, unleashing my killer strength.

The situation is different with the worst wound, which starts to tire my next run. Three left, three left. I've lost a lot of blood because of the hook that went inside me and my barbaric way of removing it. I don't hide that I screamed when I did it.

I need to change strategy. I'm spending too much energy running in these conditions — considering the considerable weight of my sword. I need to come up with something new.
