The dwarf left the vicinity after a few searches, on realising that there were no living creatures around for him to vent his hatred for the machine race fellows out on.
Kailen, having come to terms with his current situation—that this was no longer just a simulation, and that a single carelessness could literally cost him his actual life—was about to vacate the vicinity and begin his harrowing journey out of the city, when...
" Nyk, is that you?"
A pained, yet relieved feminine voice wafted in Kailen's ear.
The moment he heard the voice, he turned to look in a particular direction. He saw a feminine figure laying half dead on the ground a few distances from him.
The figure looked like some sort of humanoid creature with a metallic body. However, her body was currently torn into two halves with her upper body lying a few walks away from her lower body. Her eyes shone with blue light.
" Ny-k..." Her voice glitched as she stared at him. " I- couldn't protect you."
