Brian opened his eyes to see the confused but worried Stagnant Water focusing on him.
"What happened? You were alright for a minute, next thing you blacked out, and now you're perfectly fine. Are you okay?" Stagnant asked, his voice laced with concern for his friend.
"I'm fine, just had a bit of an upgrade," Brian said, smiling victoriously.
"How long was I out, by the way?" Brian asked. He had lost track of the flow of time while fighting against the Sword Eater.
"Not much. You were out for at most five minutes," Stagnant Water muttered.
"Five minutes?!" Brian asked, surprised. He had lost track of time, but deep down, he knew he had spent a lot of time in that unique world.
[Of course, time flies faster in that world than in the outside world. And also, it's not that world. It's your world, manifested by your will.]
