[Remaining time 5 minutes]
Two knights against me who turned out to be merely regular human hunter or a hunter who occasionally hunts monsters. Which talent do I possess? Is there a way to defeat two monsters stronger than me and win?
Nonsense…
Really, nature is teasing me I suppose all I have to do is hold out against these knight monsters. I can sense a strong sense of killing intent and power emanating from this aura. That induced fear in my brain, and the feeling of fear flooded my body. Can't I just win once? If we don't try, they say, we'll never know.
This is either the beginning or the end for me.
Clash….
'hhheeeeeee….eee…eee…'
Knights' swords and Ray's scythe clashed against one another. As they try to push me back, my body gradually starts to feel lighter. I feel as though my heart will eventually break through my body.
[level up 2 ---> 2.2 ---> 2.5 ---> 2.7 ---> 2.9 ---> 3]
[you have level up]
…?
[your strength has been increased]
[your speed has been increased]
[your intelligence has been increased]
[skills have been improved]
[unlocked new skill (level 1 black flame energy) allows you to use a flame energy ball to attack an opponent.]
'not the right… time to… get a new ability.. ekk…kkk.'
The knight starts to push the boy away. These two are extremely difficult to block; you can't even move them apart.
[To release it for better use, Loyal Scythe requests permission.]
'huh?! Why does that matter? Is this object alive or what?
[Yes/No]
'…'
'hek..'
The knight was pushing Ray farther and farther back. The boy's hands and leg shook as a result of the pressure. His heart was beating frantically as he stared into their terrifying eyes. He could feel the fear of dying in his mind and the drops of sweat on his face.
'…yes!'
[Permission has been granted.]
[After being released, the weapon can now move as it pleases.]
'whoaaaa!!'
The scythe applied intense pressure, which caused the knight to recoil.
Step…step…
A miracle of nature gave Ray another chance. This is my chance to win, if there is a way to do so. But despite the fact that this scythe was only at level 1, it was still holding them well as the knight applied more and more pressure.
The boy was completely unaware of the dagger in his other hand when he suddenly remembered it. It was as if the dagger was completely hidden from view. Using even one hand to combat the knights.
'weird When I was holding the dagger, I didn't feel its weight as much as I should have.
The boy threw the dagger at them after moving his hand backward and exerting pressure. This time, the knights could see the dagger approaching them.
[weapon speed enabled – speed of weapon increased up to 4%.]
It grows by 4 percent with each level up. Interesting.'
The dagger movement was somewhat harder to see. The shot was missed as a result of the incorrect direction of aim.
"How did it miss? No way!" '
Meaning that there is only one choice, so why am I looking for other options when I already have one? What's the matter with me? having a death wish? or as a result of another reason.
[ 2 minutes: 56 seconds] slows down
"This system is making things harder and harder for me," said Ray.
I was thinking about death in this situation. It is a simple method for getting rid of suffering, pain, and never-ending negativity. My will was on the verge of giving out just as things were about to go well. I recall that my motivation for living was to preserve something, not because I wanted to live. I made that person a promise. I can't go away. I CANNOT DIE...
'I can't die now!!'
Ray uses force to cause the knights to retreat, and as they do so, he charges them and uses his scythe to attack them.
slash…
The knight reconnected the slashed area with its body after being struck by the scythe.
'They really irritate me.
Even if I manage to push them back, they will continue to attack. From behind, the light knight attacks the boy, but Ray flips backward and leaps over him.
He attacks the knight as soon as he touches down on the ground. The light knight uses his sword to try and stop the scythe.
Snap…
The knight is split in two by the scythe as the sword breaks. The dagger struck the other knight in the chest as he attacked from behind.
'it's easy now.'
Most of the time, they move in the same manner. It appears as though they keep saying the same thing after every two moves. Even those are predictably simple. Even if it does exist, that is.
Suddenly the knight completely disappears.
…?'
Where have they gone? Ray's expression is perplexed.
appears in front of the boy with his neck as the target. They moved quickly toward the boy, as if Ray had been a toy in their previous interaction. Both knights were staring at him with those deadly intent eyes as their swords were at his neck.
Drop…drop
A small drop of blood fell to the white floor before turning to dust. He suddenly realised that they hadn't been operating at full capacity from the outset.
[Time up]
[Congratulations on escaping the conflict unscathed.]
[you have shown your worth against the right]
[he whom your worth matter will appear]
A red portal opens, and a black hand emerges from it.
'it can't be…'
Ray's eyes widened in wonder as he noticed that person's identical black hand.
Is he actually there? There isn't a hint; it's just an arm; I have no way of knowing if I'm correct. If it's him, I have a lot of questions to ask.
The same man approaches the boy as he exits the portal. [Be ready for the last exam]
"Final exam? Is he also my enemy?
He strikes the position to signal that he's prepared to face him as well. Yet can he?
