Simon remained seated for several breaths after opening his eyes.
Everything inside him felt heavier, faster, and far more complete.
His Infernal Heart beat with enough force for him to feel each pulse through his chest, back, arms, and legs. Every beat pushed purer Chaos through pathways that had widened several times during his advancement.
He slowly stood.
Then he looked at his right hand, clenched it once, then threw a short punch without using demonic energy.
BANG!
The air burst in front of his fist.
Dust exploded from the cave wall several metres away, and thin cracks spread across the black stone.
Simon raised a brow.
He shifted his weight and delivered a low kick.
WHOOSH!
The wind created by his leg swept stones across the cave. A broad piece of rock split from the wall and crashed beside the dried husk of the Furnaceback Centipede.
Simon stopped before he damaged the cave enough to bury himself.
