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 passed by, I can feel the important function in my body started to shut down . I don’t know if I can keep doing <
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 assaults come and it is followed by other multiple assaults .
I avoid all of it .
Everything else has become a trivial matter for me .
The boisterous dance of Naginata assaults 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 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 assaults 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 passed 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 <
Soon after, the Armour warrior is sending a slash attack . To avoid the attack, I bend my body to the very limit . My knee is nearly touching the ground . However, instead of slowing down, I use both my feet and hands to speed up my movement . This is one of the arts which I saw Jin used before during dungeon exploration . <
After I safely avoid the slash attack from the Armour Warrior, I raise my speed even more to the maximum with <
Armour Warrior . You have missed the last chance to kill me .
--This fight is my victory .
Then I make my escape from the room without looking behind .
