Chapter 196 of Section C: Memory Loss (The Awakened)

Incredibly, he saw another person in front of the fog gate again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The man seemed to be worried, too. He held his head as if he was lost.

...... And just as he sat down on the ground in discouragement, the figure of the man blurred.

...... That was just ......

Although he didn't quite understand what he had just seen, he sighed and didn't care anymore.

It seems that he was disheartened by the petrified guards...... And no wonder.

He's really strong enough. Although there are not many moves.

This time it's time to get real...... I've almost figured out the details of him!

Thinking like this, he took a deep breath and stepped into the fog gate.

After approaching the enemy, the petrified guard once again broke through the petrified restraints unhurriedly and slowly stood up.

Soon, the stalemate of the battle was marked after the enemy actively petrified.

This time, instead of emitting only fixed petrified smoke or diffuse petrified clouds, the enemy did both at the same time, as he had done in the previous cases. Not only did he let the clouds appear next to the carved gate, but he also tried to petrify him with the smoke that was sprayed at a fixed point.

Naturally, the man's tense nerves allowed him to dodge these attacks. He rushed forward nervously, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's movements were now extremely slow, and decided to hurry up and look for an opportunity to kill him.

His plan was to pierce the weak points of the armor with the head of the sword.

...... The most desirable is the armpits.

Why didn't he attack with all his might at the beginning of the fight? It was because he was afraid that the enemy would suddenly release the active petrification that might not be used at any time. That move can't be dodged if it doesn't leave a certain place with it in advance.

You have to keep a little distance from the enemy in advance, otherwise you won't be able to get that far before the debris collapses.

It must also be deducted reaction time. If you concentrate on how to attack your opponent, you will be unable to react when the enemy is petrified, and you will die repeatedly.

While it's unclear whether petrification will occur again after the enemy has actively petrified and entered a new phase of combat, it's impossible to think about it: just make sense.

In case the enemy has a third battle phase, think of other ways to fight.

...... Although it should be thought this way, it would be too shocking. As expected, the battle will get tougher and tougher.

But it should come to an end.

The battle continued in an orderly manner, and the man was always careful to keep his distance from the enemy. Just after the Petrified Guard missed another jump, he suddenly fell into a petrified state, and after bursting, the next round of combat soon began.

The petrified cloud was released step by step, and the enemy began to approach the man with murderous intent. And he hurriedly took the initiative to approach the other party and observe his movements: very good, the movement speed is not very fast.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, the enemy suddenly took a step back and made a gesture of preparation for throwing.

Oops! He wanted to throw the axe! Despite some panic, he quickly calmed down: Wait, don't panic! Watch the direction of the axe, as long as you dodge, I will win.

How the arms are curled...... Presumably aiming at the left side of my chest?

That is, the location of the heart.

In an instant, the enemy threw the sharp axe. However, it suddenly turned around in the air and flew somewhere else.

What? Angle changed?

The man was shocked, completely unexpected.

The petrified guard's spun axe smashed the broadsword in the man's hand, causing a huge tremor.

And the man, too, sprained his arm because of this sudden huge impact. The enemy shook his body slightly, and after a quick approach, he slammed into his eye sockets with a punch.

I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and the man's instinctive common sense swung his fist back, but he also broke his arm and was knocked over by the enemy's head hammer. With intense pain, his ribs were broken by a kick, and bone fragments pierced into his internal organs.

The pain gradually drains - along with the consciousness.

And when I opened my eyes as if I was waking up from a dream, I was still a familiar sight in front of me.

...... How many times did you die in this hour?

I can't count them.

What's the point of me dying like this...... For this abnormal environment, the man was really a little breathless: Damn! Why am I so unlucky!

...... That being said, it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation.

The other party actually killed me empty-handed!

The man tried desperately to deny this reality.

And the reality is that I just died once.

Even, the death is not technical at all. It's just that the other party's simple show-off skills have succeeded.

Despite this, he was resurrected for unknown reasons. He began to think that maybe the resurrection was just for him to die again.

So, he began to suspect again that it was a dream.

...... Subconsciously pinched his face, and after feeling a burst of pain, he agreed with frustration: he was really not dreaming.

That's true...... The pain before was real.

......

Damn, how do I go home! There's still a wife waiting for me at home!

It's okay not to think about this, but when he thinks about it, he can't help but be stunned.

...... My wife......

He was terrified to find that his memory was a little vague: before he died last time, he clearly remembered what his wife's name was.

Call...... What's it called?

............

A great sense of fear began to surround the man, and he clearly recognized a problem: this death has a price.

Some memories will be lost.

The method of retrieval is not clear at all.

But he began to panic at the realization that his memories had been taken away by the petrified guard.

...... It's as if my path has been blocked.

Because the only thing I can do at the moment is to challenge the guard.

And the memory is also blurred because he killed it. Therefore......

...... Gritting his teeth, the man tried to calm his fears. However, this feeling of suffocation still welled up in his chest.

It's like the kind of person who just grabbed his neck and is now letting go for some purpose.

I still remember my name. The fortress forgot about it......

The man felt a wave of fear.

............

No, can't think about it anymore.

If you continue like this, you will just scare yourself, and the more you think about it, the worse it will become.

I...... Just think again.

Despite his attempts to take a step, he panicked at the fact that he could not control his body: fear was pressing on his nerves.

He was already a little disheartened and sat down on the ground.

His mind was full of despair. Until, suddenly, his eyes swept to the phantom that had reappeared.

That was the third time he had seen the phantom. The first two times ended with being scared and both of them being scared.

The phantom was standing silently in place, holding something in his hand.
