Moments prior.
I previously assumed that it wouldn't be long until I found the boss.
That the new types of 'anomalies' were the next step for me to meet it, but...
Spurt!
'Still, nothing.'
I stood in silence while staring at the decapitated head on the floor.
My thoughts were empty. Gripping onto the handle of the knife, I just had one thought.
'...Kill. I need to kill the boss.'
No, it wasn't just the boss.
I wanted to get rid of everything that stood in my way of the boss.
SPURT—!!
Thus, moving from room to room, I started going on a killing spree. The anomalies that I encountered became stronger with each room that I passed, but so did I. Or to be precise, the knife.
Although temporary, each anomaly I killed with the knife caused its power to rise, sharpening something deep within it for a short while.
Each slash became smoother, anomalies falling under a simple slash of mine.
