Gruntar's expression shifted—subtle, but unmistakable. His tone grew more serious.
"The last ability utilizes something called pulse energy."
"…Pulse energy?"
The unfamiliar term made my excitement pause, replaced with curiosity. "What is that supposed to be?"
Seemingly catching the confusion written all over my face, Gruntar continued his explanation without missing a beat.
"Simply put," he said, crossing his arms proudly, "you can shoot lasers."
"…Lasers?"
My mind instantly replayed the image of the steel golem from earlier—the blinding beam fired straight from its chest, melting everything in its path.
You're telling me… I can use that?
Before I could stop myself, excitement surged through me. I thrust my hand forward on instinct, my eyes practically shining.
Then—
Thud.
"Ouch!"
A sharp pain bloomed on my forehead as something heavy smacked me.
"Are you insane?!" Gruntar barked. "Are you trying to blow my workshop to pieces?!"
"Ah—!"
