Side story: Dream or Reality 2

"Huh.huh...." My breath was so breathless, when I opened my eyes, I was already in a place somewhere out of nowhere.

Was that a dream? I stood up, watching around. This place looked like an old building with pale blue walls. On the wall there is a torch as a light, could this place be the same as the cave at that time?

Ah, whatever, I don't understand what the reality is and what the dream is. My head was so dizzy, it was unable to absorb much more information.

No matter what else, my legs carried me forward down the hallway. The floor is so arid, rough like beach sand. The sound of the foot creaking echoed within the hallway, breaking the silence that enveloped me.

"It seems I won't be able to get out of here as soon as possible."

Even though my legs were tired, my heart did not stop calling for surrender, I still continued walking. Maybe a lot of time has passed since the moment I got in here and haven't gotten the exit yet.

My gaze glanced over here and there, the breath no longer matters. His head was so dizzy as if it was about to explode. Don't tell me that the oxygen in this place is contaminated by something, but what?

Suddenly my vision blurred, around it looks swirling then blackened.

***

How long ago I lost consciousness. The whole body ached, I slowly opened my eyes, glancing around. Nothing, just like before.

I woke up, the head still felt heavy, and this really interfered with concentration. I exhaled a long breath, while the right hand propped up to ease the pain.

"Actually, what makes me like this?" I wondered, but no one answered.

As the moment passed, the pain in my head slowly disappeared. I stood up, then stepped again down the hallway with the lighting from the torch. Right hand grabbed, rifle, ready if the big monster appeared again.

Although it was useless to fight him with only a rifle, but it was still better than having to give up. After all, I had already managed to defeat a monster using my black mode.

It's true that now I don't know how to activate the technique, but I'm sure that soon I can use something of a heart. Keep walking, my gaze sharpened, fed up with fighting, but still had to do it. Actually, why did fate drag me into this endless trouble?

"Well, now maybe I'm ready to fight that monster." Long shotgun I returned to my back, my mind calmed as I stepped.

"Hey!" The voice of someone echoed within the hallway. "Can we talk?"

My steps came to a halt, I slowly turned around to see who the person who was calling was there. "Do you have to be with me?" my, flat.

The man I see now is covered in black robes and hoods, so that even his face cannot be seen.

The silence went on for a while, because it was too boring, I decided to speed this up immediately. "Are you wrong to call people?"

Upset at being constantly ignored, I decided to immediately turn around and leave. But suddenly I was pushed forward until I hit the floor.

My head hurts, blood starts pouring from the wound on my forehead. My patience is over, this guy is going to insult me. If that is the case, I should immediately teach him a valuable lesson.

I jumped, spinning while pointing the long shotgun around. "He ... disappeared?"

What an unexpected situation, how could he possibly disappear in such a short time. Moreover, who is he really?

I resisted the urge to shout out to him, because this place is still a mystery to me. Where am I really now? Is it on a path to eternal fire?

It was no surprise that I was heading towards the place of eternal fire, for I was so weak that I could not save my friends. Endless torture, maybe it was a suitable place for me after fighting a big monster back then.

After the situation, I walked back down the hallway. The air temperature here is quite hot, probably due to the thinness of the incoming air. Ah, no matter, now what matters is what's ahead there? Hope or despair? Whatever doesn't matter, I don't care anymore.

Suddenly, a punch struck my stomach, sending me bouncing far back, rolling on the floor several times.

"Ak—"

The voice of the person who attacked me earlier can still be heard even though it is not so clear. "Aragh!" My stomach hurt so much that I couldn't stand up anymore.

As I tried to stand up, the pain spread all over the body. But .. where is it possible that this could hold my footsteps.

As much as I could stand, I ignored the blood that was now coming out of my mouth. Seen faintly by my eyes, the person was pointing his right palm at me.

Blood came out of my mouth, the body crumbling as if it was being stepped on by a monster. However, my determination is still strong, so this is not a heavy obstacle.

"Argh! It hurts!" Really, the pain is no joke. It's as if my body was disassembled into some fragments, although the reality is not.

In a short time, a very comfortable warmth enveloped me. The pain was completely gone by this feeling. From the front, I felt someone touch my shoulder.

A whisper was chanted softly into my ear, "Leon .. Come back, we need your help."

His voice was like no stranger to me, but who was the one who whispered it? Why does he know my name? Is she a witch? Or maybe a super-powered person?

Whatever it is, I don't understand. Then, why did he ask for help if his own strength was already so great? And one more thing, he asked the wrong people for help, because I was weak.
