Another: Memory of Another World
Ch. 21 Light
After that day, suddenly this world turned gray and dark. The light from the torch could not dispel the darkness in the basement. The coldness in my chest felt far beyond the coldness in the room. Although there was more than one person there, but the room was quieter than the grave. Where every sound made made us thump and fear. // A long-lost feeling suddenly reappears today.
Whether it was because he met someone who was the same as him or because of the opponent he was facing right now. What he was feeling at the moment, was similar to the sense of helplessness he felt before. 'Is this the difference between the realm of heroes? between a strong individual and a weak individual?' thought.
The master is not a good man, nor a bad man. He knows it because he interacts with her often. Despite her childish demeanor and childlike appearance, she knew that her master was like a monster that felt no emotions. His smile and vulgar behavior were just masks to cover his true self. Therefore, his master never let out the slightest oppressive aura.
All this time he had never met someone stronger than him who really intended to kill him. As a result, the feeling arises once again. 'feeling weak and helpless is indeed easy to make people addicted' Saga smiled after knowing the reason for her anxiety.
He was not afraid of that red Orge, despite the huge difference between the two. Because he had reason to stand firm and die proudly. Yes, Saga has had that excuse for a long time. Actually this was quite pitiful since his master had never ordered anything to him.
"Are you ready? Even if there's no difference between already or not, after all, I can beat all of you easily." Said the Orge with a wide grin.
Saga only smiled in response to the comment. In fact, he was indeed not strong enough to defeat the red Orge without using [Night Watcher] mode. If it was someone else, no, one's way of fighting usually depended on the entity contracting with it. In dominant dreams and secrets, there is an unwritten rule whereby one must fight with his own strength to solve a problem, to the point that he cannot fight anymore. Only then will they use the [Night Watcher] mode.
Uniquely, that's what Ren's servants always do, Saga and Antares are no exception.
"Well, no matter what happens, I'll be safe, until I think it's all a curse. Forget it let's just get started, [Where Burst]." There was actually no reason to say the name of the technique or skill used. But in this case, it is like a warning to the opponent if anyone one of the parties has finished.
"Then I hope you can comfort me, [Where Burst]." The Orge took out a spear made from a dense flame.
[Mana Burst] is a basic skill that everyone learns. Improving your attack power is one thing, but more importantly, increasing your endurance.
The saga shot out like a thunderbolt descending from the sky. Although he had just entered the realm of heroes, but the speed attribute he had was automatically at number 31, because [Diverse Parameters]. Coupled with the buff that Thalia gave him, he was already two steps away in the realm of heroes. In other words, he could move as fast as a thunderbolt with sheer physical strength.
Each movement should produce a sonic wave that pushes the air around it, but the physical phenomenon is muted by the mana that coats its body. The magical energy also serves as a lubricant so that a person can move freely at a constant high speed.
(Clang!)
The two weapons clashed against each other. The sound was like iron meeting an iron, revealing how hard the weapon made by the Orge was. Saga did not blink an inch, he immediately pulled back his sword then attacked him a few more times. (clang! clang! clang! kang! ..)
Thick dust formed above the ground as Saga passed through it with intense pressure. He slightly raised his heels to relax his muscles, then immediately took the stance of the horses again. // He's an amateur in close combat, but he can see my weak spot. Maybe it was his special skill? This time use [Light of Dawn] then...
[Flow Acceleration]...
A golden light immediately enveloped Saga's sword, then Saga shot up to create a glowing tail behind her. His eyes focused entirely on the target, the neck of the Orge.
[Severing Blade]!
Saga shouted in silence.
The young man arrived in front of the Orge in just a split second. The sword swung with all its might to the point where it would cut through the air itself. But an object suddenly appeared in front of him, stopping the swing of the sword forcefully. With sound (Clang!) aloud, energy and light gushed out from the clash.
"Even I would be hurt if I received the Attack directly, especially when directed to the neck. You're really brave, ha." A thick aura gushed out from the Orge's body, suppressing everything around it. Even the battle down there was forcibly stopped because everyone was on their knees, unable to withstand the pressure. Saga himself felt like he was thrown into a magma. Circumstances that make him feel burning, while sinking little by little.
Sweat pours profusely on Saga's forehead while her teeth crackle vigorously. Using his sword as a pedestal, he looked up with great effort to look at the monster.
"Aren't you making a good expression? The weak must crawl on the ground." Those words were much colder than the coldest night of winter. The mixed feelings and opposite each other seemed to tear Saga's body from within. The monster is like a predator playing around with its prey.
I have to do something! What am I supposed to do!? // Saga doesn't know what to do. Without looking back he could imagine what had happened to his comrades. Normally Thalia would strengthen them with a certain spell, yet it could not be done at this time. Sigur can be a good distraction, but it's hard to bring him here in the current situation. Antares is obviously very strong, but he's crucial to stopping the mob.
Should I use [Night Watcher]? No, it's not time for that yet. I need to get stronger!
As Saga was still struggling to get up, Si Orge slowly walked over.
