The Fake Shadow

Translator:Masakibluei

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 <<Withdraw>> 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 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 <<Withdraw>>, 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 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 1^st 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 20^th 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. 

--<<Fake Shadow>>

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 <<Search Enemy>> art. My <<Mapping>> skill also give information about the exit from this room. In short, nothing will go wrong.

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. <<Sinkwalk>>.

After I safely avoid the slash attack from the Armour Warrior, I raise my speed even more to the maximum with <<Fake Shadow>>.

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.
