Neutralization?

The method my inner self (?) told me about was pretty simple.

I just had to take up my sword like usual and cut down whatever obstacle stood in my way.

“Gwaaaagh!”

But when I came to, that guy was lying there, already cut up.

“…What? What’s wrong with him?”

Could my body in the real world have moved along with me when I woke up from the mindscape?

…But was he usually standing in front of me? And close enough to get cut when I swung my sword?

“Grrrgh! You wench! How dare you launch a cowardly sneak attack!”

“…? What sneak attack? You just happened to be standing in front of me and got cut.”

“Shut up!”...
