Tales Of Schaduw: The Half - Elf

Ch. 123 – Me, Off?

[Not Edited]

“Who are you really!” I haven't seen Saigiri yet, I'm trapped in a world of illusion. A world filled with mist everywhere. There was not a single person around me, even the caravan was left empty without any interesting horses. Actually I was, why did everything suddenly disappear.

“I? I'm the figure you're looking for,” his words were swept away by the fog.

“What I'm looking for, so you're the monster that caused all this mess.”

“Iya,” the answer is light and ends with a booming laugh in every corner.  For a while in the cave, but from the eyes that see, this room has no end, and everywhere there is a very thick fog.

I prepared the horses and both hands prepared to draw the sword. If necessary I will attack first. Unfortunately I can not afford it, because I do not know what figure I am fighting now, at least I have to dig up information first about his figure.

“Do you want to attack me?” he asked with intonation underestimating me.

“Which way maybe I can attack you, if you yourself are still hiding in the shell. If you dare here to fight with me,” my reply defiantly, my hand is getting tighter holding the tip of the sword and anytime ready to release a single slash.

“Hahaha. How dare you challenge me, you don't even know who I really am.”

“If you are really strong, why don't you just appear in front of me and kill me right now. Basic coward!” I emphasized my words in the last sentence.

“Interesting once...” That was all he spoke and his figure disappeared without leaving even the slightest trace of life energy.

Instantly the ground split in two, the sky was filled with cloudiness and rumbling, several times the lightning struck the boulder with great force. Not until there, now began to appear strange monsters with a terrible look. Deep inside his blackened red eyelids, it was clear that the monster horde had a grudge and was eager to kill me.

“This must be just an illusion?!” I snapped at the sky, instantly disappearing and changing sounds from the lightning explosion.

Damnit. If this is really just an illusion, why do they all seem real, and even the energy emanating from them is not a lie. They were real, there could be no illusion like this.

Will I be able to defeat them all, then where are the other troops. If this is real, the troops will not disappear either. In the dark my heart twitched, clashing with an increasingly gripping atmosphere. I shouldn't have been standing here alone. Where am I now.

It seems like I have to fight alone again, at least I can confirm whether they are really real or just an illusion. If my sword is capable of blasting or stabbing them, it is certain that they are real. But if they were real, I might not have been killed. Fighting against those monsters at once, was impossible for me.

Damnit. This illusion is real.

One by one the monsters approached me slowly, step by step growing bitter in my heart. Flashes of lightning often blocked my view, earth shocks made my horses waver, and strong gusts of wind awakened me to a fast approaching death..

“This is going!” lantang.

I refuse to back off. Swings of the sword broke loose in the boulder, leaving black dust that instantly disappeared in the wind. The monster took turns attacking me, but I directly confronted it with a slash. I don't know how many monsters I managed to defeat.

It turned out that they were not too difficult to defeat, even with just a single puncture I was able to defeat these monsters. I felt they were created from the shards of magic energy from the Forward figure that had greeted me, because these monsters were too weak. Nevertheless, they are still capable of inflicting attack damage on me.

My stamina was also getting depleted, fatigue was growing, and slowly eroding my fighting spirit. Nearly a hundred monsters I killed, but they didn't run out. As if every second a new monster appeared, from behind the fog came monsters with similar faces. Highlights blackened red eyes clearly visible behind the fog.

“Until when will you keep popping,” muttered as I re-strengthened the sword in hand.

***

For a moment I was struck by a heart-slapping fact. ‘What is this?!’ Maybe I am hallucinating now. Why am I able to come back to life and witness all this slaughter, many bodies were suffocated with wounds all over, blood was flowing mixed with the ground.

‘What this time I really in the world of illusion?’ Even words alone cannot describe the horrors I see today.

I looked at her blankly, for some reason my body felt so heavy, my mind empty, my mouth silenced. This. this was exactly the same as the situation during the village massacre. I remember for sure, the blood flowing at my every step, the blank stare of the corpses would be the real sight.

“Hey you realize! It's not time to give up!” He patted me back on the shoulder. He looked scarred and bruised, no matter how many times he got up, and kept raising his sword.

Yet I can only reply with an empty glance.

“Hey!!” He slapped me hard.

“Do you want to give up now!! What about the slain knights!! Are you willing to let them die in vain! We will protect you with all our strength, so..”.

Every word so seriously went with a very sharp eye, every word that was spoken from him little by little resuscitated me. I'm not dreaming, it's a real fight. Then why? That's all I'm asking.

“Mati?” gumamku.

“Hey! Speak clearly, I can't hear you.” He shook my body. Suddenly a wolf monster came wanting to pounce on the two of us, Adellia suddenly pushed me, and ended the monster with a single slash.

He then looked at both of my eyes closely, remaining blankly unfolded.

“Did I just die?” I asked him, my mind was really messed up.
