Chapter 43: The Shadows

Fear - an instinct that living beings are born with, in order to protect themselves from the depths of their souls.

Human beings are inherently self-interested creatures.

Therefore, there is no such thing as good and evil in the world.

All actions that harm one's own interests for the sake of others are hypocrisy.

People who put their lives on the line for all sorts of inexplicable reasons are either conspiracy plotters with ill intentions or retarded people with brain problems......

Well, in any case, of course, I will not be the latter......

…………

A little confused thinking, maybe it's just because for the first time in my life I feel a little scared.

Probably not the fear of death, after all, for various reasons, I haven't confirmed whether I will have the feeling of 'fear' because of death......

The only thing that is confirmed is the source and direction of that pure killing intent......

…………

If you die in front,

So the guy behind ...... -

'Da~'

'Da~'

His feet stepped on the ground.

The remnants of the body have probably been exhausted long ago......

The physical condition that is on the verge of the limit, the trauma of blood loss that has not stopped until this time.

It's not so much a bad thing as a terrible situation.

Something that is approaching is different from 'man' and different from any living being in the world.

A tiger in the mountains, a giant shark in the sea, or a prehistoric giant beast called 'Dinosaur' that once ruled the world with its huge body......

All living beings in the world, even the most ferocious predators bred by nature, are only as fragile as ants at this time.

Even armies equipped with the most advanced equipment can be crushed to dust in an instant.

The essence of 'it' may be,

It's just to destroy the existence of a qiē......

…………

In front of me, all the buildings in the city were crumbling and crumbling, and even the wreckage was gradually falling apart and disappearing into nothingness.

Criss-crossed cracks spread on it, a trace of expansion spread, and the sky echoed with the aftermath of destruction.

There was no obstacle in front of him to obscure his vision, so he had already seen 'it' at this time.

What kind of storage is that......

If you don't actually see it, you may never understand it.

The nightmare of this world, the aggregate of wills, symbols, imprints......

In other words, what I saw was only the destruction of Miè itself......

…………

At least I can recognize the posture of the 'human', the hands and feet, slightly higher than the ordinary person, and the face is ...... Unrecognizable.

It's not because I can't see it, but I really understand it after 'seeing it' -

That's a completely unreasonable existence.

I couldn't stop trembling, and my body instinctively began to tremble before I began to fear it in my heart.

Flesh, bones, cells......

As an instinct of a living being, as an instinct of a 'human'.

Irresistible, that fear engraved in the depths of the blood.

The legs that stepped forward came to rest on the ground.

Hundreds of meters away, 'it' is walking towards the front.

Nothing can stop 'it' from moving forward.

Even the extremely tough city walls, the mountains that hide the sky, and the vast and endless oceans, there are no obstacles in the world that can deter them.

The existence of zài, which is so powerful that it cannot be expressed by common sense, is just a celestial-like existence zài that was born to destroy miè a qiē.

With the power of human beings, there is no way to stop 'it' from moving forward.

Understood from the start.

Unlike the world in the story and the novel, there could be no miracle in the first place.

The end of the ants in front of the wheels is simply to be crushed to death.

Any struggle is in vain, and there is no chance of any chance.

That's a barrier that can't be crossed no matter what.

But......

"A ...... that won't let you pass"

Standing quietly on the cracked earth, the shadow that was getting closer and closer reflected in the pitch-black pupils, a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'd love to say that...... But it seems that no matter what, it can't be done, so ......"

He took another step forward and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I won't let you pass until I die."

'Da~'

'Da~'

At this moment, a bone-chilling chill soaked through the limbs.

It was as if he had fallen naked in the polar snowfield, and countless Senhan blades cut through the skin and embedded them in the flesh and bones.

That's 'it's sight'.

Hundreds of meters away, its eyes were silently staring at what stood in front of them.

It's not like what any creature should see, it's an indifference somewhere 'humans' can't reach.

Cold, indifferent, violent, and ...... Extremely powerful.

Immobile.

Just a glimpse of 'it' may be heavier than a mountain.

It was as if a large, invisible hand was on the heart, and then, suddenly, clenched.

Suffocation, like countless invisible chains winding and contracting from all sides, tightening the neck until it breaks until it shatters.

It's not like it's in the same world, and even saying that it's a mantis arm as a car seems a bit arrogant.

Although I have long understood that it is not a being that 'humans' can resist, I still really feel it at this time-

A barrier that cannot be crossed in any way.

'It' looked faintly at something not far away.

For 'it', it is something so fragile that even zài cannot be defined, but it stands in front of itself, and the only way to remove it is to remove it.

There's only one way to clear what you're looking for......

'Click~'

Criss-crossing cracks spread across the ground beneath his feet.

…………

Breathing, vision, and body were concentrated in an unprecedented moment at this moment.

Even if you know it's useless, at least you don't want to do nothing and die the next moment.

So, do your best and be at the last moment......

The fist, which humanity possesses, is also the only weapon left now.

The moment the figure disappeared in the distance, he clenched in vain, his feet clasped to the ground, and swung in front of him.

…………

Consciousness fell into a brief darkness......

Sobered up again, and quickly understood the situation.

Lying on his back on the ground, his eyes reflecting the gray sky.

"The agreement, probably can't be kept......"

The guy's face came to mind.

The memories that gradually regressed after the meeting, and there was no time to sort them out, which seemed a little disorganized.

The palms of your hands are slowly propped up to the ground.

'Da~Da~'

…………

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Looking at the back of the person walking into the distance, he staggered to his feet.

Half of his body was soaked in blood, and his right arm and entire shoulder were gone.

The empty body, the rage raging in the body, was like the sharp pain of the whole body being torn in half.

The internal organs shattered in part under the unimaginable force, and the viscous liquid trickled down the corners of his mouth.

A very clear judgment of the status quo.

Even if you don't do anything, you probably won't live long......

"I'm not dead yet......"

smiled lightly, but there was an extremely calm look in the eyes.

"Come on again, you can't kill me just now."

…………

Turning around, the pupils of 'it' reflected the crumbling figure soaked in blood.

I don't know if it's an illusion, at this moment, with a bit of humanized feelings.

An even more violent killing intent followed.

The Grim Reaper shadowed the sky.

The loss of blood makes the body more and more cold to the touch.

The boy stood quietly in the midst of the shattered world.

His legs, which had long been unconscious, barely supported his body and did not fall.

The remaining left hand clenched again.

The vision has begun to blur a little.

Consciousness is gradually dragged into the endless abyss.

The afterimage with the breath of endless destruction pierced through the heavens and the earth and swept in.

Before the final comes......

Even the fist, which looked extremely weak, was swung out again.

Facing the shadow of death......
