Shadow Farms

"The Path of Advanced Psychological Battle"

It was something that happened when Lex walked down the hallway along with some subordinates.

A very strange phenomenon befell them as they searched for artifacts.

Lex's subordinate, who was walking in front of him, suddenly disappeared.

“Hah?”

Unable to understand what had just happened, Lex looked around, but nothing seemed strange.

The only thing that might be a clue is the sound of something cutting through the air.

Shunn, shunn, it's him again.

Then.

“……!”

The subordinate next to him disappeared.

But this time, he could barely see.

It was the figure of a teenage boy wearing an academy uniform, covered in blood.

He had crippled the subordinate with the heel of his palm, then had the subordinate leave.

Lex could barely see all that by strengthening his eyes to the limit and concentrating. That's how fast.

“Be careful, we're under attack!”

As soon as she screamed, Lex vigilantly scanned her surroundings.

“.....Ah?”

But he immediately felt shocked.

The other subordinates who should have followed behind him were no longer around.

Before he knew it, he was apparently the only person standing in that long hallway.

Later.

As soon as the voice reached his ears, Lex protected his heart with all his might.

“Kuh……! ”

A huge force hit Lex's arm.

Trays.

Along with the sound of a broken bone, Lex was exhaled backwards with tremendous momentum.

“Kuh...... motherfucker! ”

But he managed to immediately get back up and unsheathed his sword.

However, there was no one in front of him.

Lex tsks's.

With a single strike, his right arm, which was even protected by magic, broke.

If his guards were not on time, his heart would definitely be broken.

Shun.

This time, Lex is moving along with the sound.

Relying on pure intuition, he swung his sword towards the presence on his back. Perfect timing.

Yet.

******** this ...... He can be even faster ?!

After his harmless sword flies behind the teenager, Lex immediately shifts to protect his heart.

“Remember……! ”

But he lost his ribs in this exchange.

Lex lets himself fly backwards, trying to capture the teenager's clear gaze while slowly killing his momentum.

But there was not even a shadow to see.

“..... Ck.”

Lex spat out saliva that was stained with blood, then took a stance.

An enemy he could barely see. Counterattacks are impossible. He just kept quiet.

Objectively speaking, there is no worse difficulty than this.

However ..... he had safely overcome this level of difficulty several times before.

He is Lex, one of the Named Children.

“It looks like you used a pretty useful artifact there.”

So Lex said in a voice his opponent could hear.

He found his secret.

Through just this amount of fighting, Lex has seen through what's going on here.

The enemy's movements had completely surpassed what humans could do. Which meant that the other party had to borrow abnormal strength.

“At first glance, it seems like I am at a disadvantage. But the truth is, you also pushed yourself quite hard, right? ”

To obtain an inhumane speed would require an appropriate amount of sacrifice. The evidence was not slid by Lex's eyes.

“Sagam You've been soaked by blood, haven't you?”

Indeed.....it was thanks to the bloodstained uniform that Lex was able to solve this mystery.

His enemy used the power of an artifact to obtain that inhuman speed. But the cost was that his body suffered damage with each use.

Judging from the amount of blood on the uniform, Lex determined that his enemy was almost at his limit. And if Lex can make the most of that moment correctly.

Being able to strip his enemy with just a small piece of information ... This is Lex the Player Who Betrays, one of the Named Children.

“Based on my judgment, you only have two or three attacks left in you. That's your fucking limit! ”

Declare Lex with confidence.

“So I hit bullseye.”

The corner of Lex's lips curved upwards in a grin.

The victory is in sight.

However..... Lex's current situation is not as good as he makes it sound.

Another way to repeat what he just said was that he still had two or three almost invisible attacks that he needed to avoid.

“Hey, why are you silent?”

That's why Lex chose to come out on the strong front.

He should not let his opponent see him faltering.

This fight .... is an advanced psychological fight.

“Come catch me, You chicken!”

Shun.

At the same time as the voice, Lex avoids relying solely on intuition.

He tilted his upper body, shifting away from the trajectory of the incoming palm heel.

But.

Very fast!?

He suddenly carried his left arm forward in a guard.

“GAAHH!”

With a few bumps, his left arm was also broken.

Maintaining his grip on his sword through willpower, Lex retreated.

But the enemy is chasing.

The enemy that had only carried out the exploding attack so far was in pursuit.

This ..... should mean he is trying to finish this fight!

“COMING ME, You'RE APAN !!”

Along with a roar, Lex poured out everything he had to protect his vital parts.

The enemy is at its limit!

As long as he managed to withstand this attack, it would be his victory!

Immediately after, the heel of the palm crashed into his stomach.

“Gahah!! AAAAAaaaaahhh!! ”

Lex was blown backwards while spewing blood from his mouth.

He flew through the wall into the classroom, crashing into tables and chairs while stopping.

“Goho, goho……! ”

Holding her stomach, Lex could not help vomiting blood anymore. His ribs have pierced several organs.

But ..... He's still alive!

It seems that putting everything into defense has paid off.

“Hehe..

Lex laughed with blood still on his lips, and looked up.

But what greeted his eyes was ……

“A-, what is this ....”

The classroom was filled with countless corpses lying in indiscriminate piles.

Everything is wrapped in black.

And each of them bore only one wound.

Could all these children be ...... alone?

Katsu, katsu, katsu.

Someone came down the hallway, his footsteps sounding clear and crisp.

Katsu's. Katsu's.

Footsteps stopped in front of the classroom door.

Quiescent.

Lex realized that his sword hands were sweating like crazy.

Kachas.

The clicking sound of the door knob broke the silence.

Then ..... the door opens.

There's no one there.

But there was a shunn heard, in which Lex's right arm was chipped off.

Shun.

Shun.

Shun.

Each time the sound rang, Lex's body lost a different part.

“Ah, aa, aaH, aahh.

The last moment when the only part left, his head, is sent flying, Lex finally realizes that this enemy has no limits.

“You ..... amazing.”

It was the last thing Lex heard when all life left him.
