Chapter 20 - Chapter 20:The Altar and Akira's sacrifice

**************

bam!

the impact from the feet of the knight statues was so strong that it produced a loud sound

there are ten knight statues that Akira and Karina have to face

soon the statue of the sword-carrying knight began swinging his sword to kill them both

whoosh!

'dodge!

'kyaaa!

boom!

Akira hugged Karina and jumped back to avoid the attack

The swing of the sword was very slow but did great damage to the altar wall

baam!

it didn't stop there, giant arrows started flying towards them and immediately Akira dodged while carrying Karina who was still in his arms

'shit we must do something about all of that statue!

'should we just run away?

'we can run but now we are in the middle of the altar surrounded by these statues!

Akira could just run away from there

by using his metamorphosis skill and turning into a fly and leaving from there but Karina's existence is a burden for him to use his skill, plus if he uses his skill at that time his identity will be revealed and leaving Karina the main character will definitely have a very bad impact on the world future so he had no choice right now..

'hmm?

'what are you looking at?

soon Akira saw the black box again.. he wondered if the black box contained something that could be used to fight all the giant statues

'for now we won't be able to fight all these giant statues, so we have to find something in that black box that might change our situation right now..

Akira pointed to the black box

'the black box?

Karina turned to the black box while saying in her mind

'the black box contains a magical relic..so that might help..

Karina said that in her mind while wiping the sweat from her face

'lets do this..but how?

'we must force our way into the crowd of statues!

'are you crazy! you gonna die!

'Then i die!

Karina stood frozen when she heard those words from Akira, she realized that Akira was not at all afraid to die to achieve his goal

'tch..you damn asshole!

bam!

'gurgh!! what are you!

Karina who just realized started punching Akira's stomach because she felt cringe while Akira just made a confused expression

'I will help you with my magic! so fight! don't die! promise me!

'I promise..but since when did I feel so close to you?

'you...

Akira frowned while Karina felt angry at Akira's arrogant behavior

'argh forget it just go!

'alright!

tap..tap!

'butterfly effect!

Akira started running while Karina started chanting support magic to speed up Akira's movement

at that moment the giant statues began to move to slash Akira who began to run towards the black box as if desperate

whoosh! bam!

Boom!

creak!

A giant arrow flew towards Akira followed by a sword swing from one of the knight statue's swords

whoosh!

Boom!

'Urgh! damn that hit was so heavy! I will die if I get hit by that sword swing!

Akira ran as hard as he could as he started to pass through several of the giant statues

but suddenly!

Swoosh!

'urgh! this time spear?

Boom.. Creak!

one of the giant statues holding a giant spear threw its spear at Akira at a speed that almost hit Akira and managed to be avoided by Akira which produced a large crack.

whoosh!

'damn!

Boom!

Akira who was still standing was startled with

the statue of a knight holding a sword suddenly swung his sword while adding a large crack to the altar

Akira reflexively jumped and got on the spear that still attached to the floor of the Altar and started jumping forward again

tap! tap!

Akira ran and reached the location where the black box was located but his path was blocked by a statue of a knight holding a giant shield

'shield? how do i go through it? damn it!

Akira found the situation difficult for him to face alone as he turned to his back where there were several knight statues starting to move towards him.

but suddenly

'lightning strike!

Whoosh!

Booom!

Karina launched a medium-level lightning bolt spell that split the giant statue holding the shield in half

Akira looked behind him and found Karina riding a stone golem spewing blood from its mouth

'blergh!

'Karina!

'i-its o-okay! ju-just go!

Karina said that while cleaning her mouth full of blood as she began to be surrounded by the giant statue

'damn..I have to hurry if I'm late Karina will die!

Akira bit his lip as he gripped his hand tightly and ran as fast as he could

whoosh!

'A-Ah!

Akira managed to reach a few meters in front of the black box but he was surprised because the support magic that Karina had prophesied for him had run out

'damn!

'hurry!

boom!

Akira ran forward while Karina tried to hold back the knight statues around her by controlling her stone golem to punch the giant statue

the punches from Karina's stone golem had no effect on the giant statues but she still tried to hold the giant statue to buy time for Akira

Akira runs and grabs the black box but suddenly

Zap!

splat!

'Urgh! Aaarrrgh!

'Zuko!

a red laser was launched towards Akira's hand which caused Akira's wrist to be severed while giving Akira extreme pain at the time

a lot of blood came out of Akira's hand but Akira's left hand began to move quickly to open the black box even though his right hand was seriously injured

'god damn it!

Akira looked in one direction and saw a giant statue that was bigger than the other statues that emitted a red beam from its eyes to emit lasers once again.

'not a chance!

Akira opened the black box and suddenly

chuff-chuff!

black smoke came out of the black box and Akira found a golden clock

'A clock?

[Clock Of desire ]

[Ability:??????]

'what is this? huh?

crack! snap! crack! snap!

Akira was surprised by the discovery but was stopped by a loud noise that indicated an earthquake was taking place inside the ancient temple

Akira saw all the giant statues begin to stop moving and collapse followed by the altar he was standing on began to crack and create small and large holes

'Zuko! What happening?

'I don't know either!

Karina asked that anxiously while Akira answered weakly

'you.. are you okay!

Karina asked that from afar but suddenly..

crack! snap!

the altar that Akira stepped on began to crumble

'Quick! run!

Karina was on the main road that they went through to enter the altar while standing and waiting for Akira's arrival from afar

Akira started to walk slowly.. he couldn't run because his injuries were too severe to make his movements weak

'Quick!

Karina said that anxiously as she started to hold out her hand for Akira to reach

Akira walked slowly towards Karina until he could hold Karina's hand but..

creak! crash!

'Urgh!

'Zuko!

the floor that Akira stepped on collapsed and Akira started to fall but was held tightly by Karina so that Akira could climb up..

'hold on!

Karina held Akira's weak left hand followed by Akira who made a weak expression on his face and looked at Karina

'Karina.. the time we spent was not too bad..

Akira said that weakly while making a smirk

Akira soon Akira began to release his hand from Karina's hand causing him to fall down in the hole surrounded by darkness

'Stop! Nooooo!!!!!!

Akira fell with a happy smile while Karina made a sad and scared expression when she saw Akira who was dying but was happy with the situation

'hic...hic.. why are you doing that...

soon Akira fell and disappeared

in the hole of darkness followed Karina who shed tears at that time
