I ignore all the appeals from my body which has reached its limit .

One more second, 

wait for another second .

I need another second .

I don’t know how many times I keep on going like that . I recklessly keep pushing on my body over and over again . And finally, I start to lose control over my own body . My body has turned into my hateful enemy .

But you know what?

Enemy or whatever else, I will keep pushing you . You will live and die with me . If I die, then you will die too . So be silent, and don’t get me killed . I beat those senses into my body .

As each second pa.s.sed by, I can feel the important function in my body started to shut down . I don’t know if I can keep doing > anymore . I can’t think of anything else . Nevertheless, I use whatever I have left to move my feet and body .

My arm is about to break .

My feet are breaking down too .

My spine is making creaking sound and seems to snap at any time .

Nevertheless, I keep intentionally moving my body recklessly .

Why do I keep on going this far?

For what? Why?

Even my purpose has started to blur from my mind

For what reason do I have to keep going to avoid these attacks? I can’t seem to remember my purpose anymore . Hence, I start to question my own purpose .

However, those things do not matter now .

I drive all those questions away from my consciousness .

Multiple a.s.saults come and it is followed by other multiple a.s.saults .

I avoid all of it .

Everything else has become a trivial matter for me .

The boisterous dance of Naginata a.s.saults brings me closer to the brink of death . Despite that, I continue to escape from imminent death . Then, I start to lose the sense of my limbs and I understand the reason very well . The countdown to the end of my life has approached . The Armour Warrior will get a hold and strike me down soon .

How many seconds left until that happens? It might be only one second left . A minute? That would be impossible . I don’t have that much time left . I might have only 10 or 20 seconds left, not so far than that .

--------At that moment, I will die .

That’s why it’s already too late to give up . Without stopping >, I continue to move my body .

I cannot understand the reason why I’m doing this anymore . Any kind of logical reasoning has gone from my head . All I can think of is to avoid all the a.s.saults that are coming after me . Nothing more than that .

Suddenly, despite the decrease in my hearing sense, I hear an explosion sound . The sound wakes me up from unconsciousness state .

It was the signal that I have been waiting for . It was the sign that Erin has reached inside the barrier .

Then another dilemma sweeps over me . From now on, how can I get away from this ‘thing’? I look up at the Armour Warrior while holding the pessimism inside my heart .

Am I bounded to die in a few seconds?

How can I get out of this kind of situation?

Nevertheless, I leap forward with those unanswered doubts . I will die if I wait anyway . Since this is the case, I have to quickly get away from the Mid Boss before I exhaust all the little energy that I have left . I take a step without any tactic or plan . This reckless action naturally brings me a reward . The silver blade is swung down towards me .

-----Aa, I’m going to die .

Everything which comes into my view has turned into slow motion . At last, I am able to understand the movement of the Naginata which I could not follow before . This attack will definitely hit my neck .

Is that so? The last scene that I can remember is the scene of me walking .

-The Changze’s house, where I was born .

-I was walking in the wood while holding hands with Miya .

-The parting with Miya

-The encounter with Jin

-The lively Purith town .

-The party house of the Arrivers .

-The first time of diving into the dungeon at the 1st floor .

-In a dark prison

-The day when I went on a date like the situation with Erin to the weapon store .

-Rosalia and the radiance of the holy sword .

-The first time I saw the vastness of the sea .

-The repeated training against Jin .

-The incident in the bath with Neme .

-Then the days I spent in the 20th floor with Erin .

Important memories that cannot be forgotten are flowing out . Among those memories, a scene pops up to mind out of instinct . It was not a happy nor a sad memory . However, for some unknown reason, I feel something not right with it .

---That memory was my combat training against Jin .

 To be precise, it was his approaching figure which came close like a shadow . I had seen it a hundred times and felt it with my own body, so I feel like I can do it too . This was probably what Jin had expected me to do . To copy and learn it from him . Although this is only a wild guess .

I vividly remember his movement and move my body accordingly .  

-->

My field of vision turns black . No . Actually, my eyes are following my movement . I already know where the attack is coming . All that I have to do is to move my upper body part . I have to bend my upper body part to avoid the attack easily . Then at the same time, I take a step forward in order to make an escape from the Armour warrior .

Aaa . The wind is pretty strong . My body feels like being pushed back by the wind . I can’t even hear any sound . This is such a quiet world . And dark . The view in front of me is all black .

Despite all those things, I am still able to understand my situation . Right now, I have pa.s.sed by the Armor Warrior . Moreover, I also have started to create a gap between us . At least, the gap between us is larger than the length of his one footstep .

Although my sense of vision and sense of hearing has become dull, I still get to know the enemy’s conduct from
