{Severe Conditions: Heavy Bleeding}

I must say, it is quite the 'breath-taking' experience being decapitated. A person donned with a black robe stood there next to my body which had yet to realise the important part that it is missing. "Clean this up! It will leave a bad taste in the kind mistress's mouth to see this gruesome scene" The person then proceeded to call over one of the guardsmen I had recently passed.

"You could have just cut him more cleanly."

"What did you just say? you prick"

Funny how they are speaking over my dead body as if a simple occurrence. I may be quite old, hell, I still vividly remember seeing Before Christ change to anno domini, well to be honest saying 'vividly' would be a lie, this memory too, is also hazy. One thing that stayed with me though, is my emotions. So to kill me and hinder my enjoyment of life for but even a second...Truly ANGERS me.

It is easier to make my body regenerate if my blood rate is higher, to this I take part in something known as 'muscle tension' exercises. Here is where it gets complicated, while the rest of my body is near the vicinity, I can still somewhat control it and my head will just reattach itself while flushing out any harmful diseases that have penetrated past my natural barrier, the skin. Anyways to speed up the reattachment process I need my blood pressure to be higher, Normally I would rely on my adrenal glands but since the hypothalamus (the detector and stimulator of hormones) is in the head of mine...you can see how it would be difficult. I don't entirely understand how my body can be still controlled since there is nowhere for the signals to originate from but it just can move for some reason. I suppose it's like a spasm after death. Anyways I tense and release my gluteus maximus... or in laymen's terms, my buttocks.

The blood started to move quickly as it slowly dragged my head closer to it. They were too occupied in their speech to realise. Well, I guess the assassin was trained enough to sense me somehow though.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I could see some purple circle form around his legs but it didn't matter now. CLICK! my spine had finally reattached. I could see the assassin turn into a blur before his blade could reach my neck once again, it stuck to the metal. A large, oddly shaped sword was in its path. The recoil injured his wrist and he was left unbalanced mid-air. Using this chance I coiled lightning around my fist, it came much more naturally to me then I thought it would. At the same time, I recalled the blade to my inventory. I followed through with a combo of punches, making sure to hit his liver at least twice and his left ear once. I followed his immobilised body as it flew through the air, despite his inability to move due to the current running through him and slight scratches, he seemed mostly unharmed. Quite a tenacious person, huh? I took my blade out its inventory once again, there seems to be a 3-second delay if I put something In my inventory and then call it out again. Thankfully he was paralysed for longer than that. I could now wield the blade much more easily due to the thunder clad around my arms.

The trajectory of the blade changed as It was much lighter than I thought it to be, I missed the person's vitals and cut off the robe covering their face instead. Red hair and green eyes, it was a woman. Knowing it was a woman I couldn't bear to kill her...Just kidding! I corrected my posture and cut into near the top of her spine it was much harder than I thought as part of the blade even chipped, stats are not to be taken lightly, successfully severing her ventral root. She should be paralysed for life. I don't plan on killing her as my level is locked and she could be a source of valuable experience. If you believe me to be cruel and you yourself believe in the false ideology of isekai heroes, just know that I am not like you, I will kill those who choose to kill me. Well, I say that, but it depends on my mood if I am being perfectly honest. I wonder if regeneration can heal paralysis.

The guardsmen had fallen to the ground with weak knees.

"That glow a-around your blade...you're a Sword Knight..."

"That would be one of my titles"

"Please! Please! Find it in your noble heart to let this insolent one go"

He didn't seem that High of a level and carrying two people is a burden so I quickly separated his head from his shoulders. I couldn't place him in my inventory, so I searched his body and found a map and a few coins, I left the coins on him, found a safe area away from the entrance and sent the current through his body. I used enough of it so that only his ashes remained. This ability is usable of lower levels but seems to only be able to immobilise higher levels, whom I assume don't have electricity resistance. Carrying the woman, whose neck seemed to start to regenerate, to the nearest town depicted by the map.

I guess my excitement filled life can finally start...

"Oh wait...How do I explain the body?"
