(Robert's perspective)

We started going down the stairs as fast as we could, although there were too many and I personally needed to save energy to fight the skeletons, so the girls went ahead while I went down at my own pace.

While I was going down I noticed that the warriors had a little trouble fighting against those skeletons, even though they are just bones moving, I think I will support them from a distance. From what I see from here, those skeletons are almost as good as the warriors, that just means that I won't be able to beat even one of them in hand-to-hand combat.

Before going to fight Mizuki ordered the guards to bring our weapons and equipment that were in the temple where we were staying.

They brought me my bow and the magician's suit that I used in the concentration camp, I hadn't used it in a while, it looks a little worn out, but it can still be useful

There was a quarter of the stairs left to reach the bottom. So I stopped at a good shooting distance, prepared my arrows and began to analyze the situation.

Hmm... I couldn't think of anything to help, I highly doubt that simple arrows would affect a skeleton.

While I was thinking I saw that Alice was casting lightning spells to support the warriors, an idea occurred to me when I saw her.

Robert: Alice, can you by any chance put magic into my arrows?

Alice: I think so... Although I've never tried it.

Alice took an arrow to try, she slowly began to pass magic of some kind on it, after a moment she gave it to me.

Alice: Try to shoot.

I readied the bow, I saw a skeleton that had a warrior against the wall, I aimed it at him and shot, the arrow hit the skeleton, freezing it, the warrior took advantage and broke it thanks to the ice.

The warrior looked at us and nodded in gratitude.

Robert: I didn't know you could do ice magic anymore, last time it didn't work very well for you.

Alicia: You learn from mistakes, these days I was trying to better mix the different elements to refine my magic.

After saying that she took the bag of arrows off my back and began to imbue them.

Alicia: I don't think the effect will last long, so take advantage of it while it lasts.

Robert: I'll help you support the warriors here.

We began to support the warriors from a distance, she with her spells and I with the bow along with the ice arrows, at least that's what I called the arrows, sometimes I felt in an unreal world with this kind of thing, I guess I'm still not completely used to this new world.

At one point a warrior was about to be killed by a skeleton but someone kicked him very hard and completely destroyed him.

Is she Danny?

She had too much strength, after that she started hitting the different skeletons that had weapons, while avoiding their attacks.

So she was holding back in training... I don't think she gained strength simply from the military art that I taught her, the reality is that she was always strong, but she is too shy, so she was just learning the different types of techniques that I taught him, to use them in a situation of this type.

We heard some pretty loud screams, a large horde of skeletons were approaching, it was going to be impossible to stop so many of them, the only one who could is Alice but she could hurt someone.

I needed to think about what the best option would be.

Out of nowhere something flew towards the large horde, a bag I think... Bella screamed after me.

Bella: Robert! Shoot him!

Mmm... This girl thinks that shooting something in motion is easy... I tried to hit it but I failed, I still needed practice with the bow.

Before the bag hit the ground, Alice shot a very thin light from her finger and managed to hit it.

A strange dust began to disperse throughout the large horde.

Bella: Everyone stay away!

The warriors understood and walked away.

Out of nowhere all the skeletons began to melt...

What was that?

Robert: Why are they melting? What was that you threw?

Bella: It is a powder made from a very dangerous plant, if you touch it carelessly, it will disperse its spores and they will pass through your skin to eat your bones or in some species melt them.

Ah... It was fascinating to hear explanations of things I don't understand.

But thanks to Bella the large horde decreased and we were able to continue supporting without losing many people.

After a while we managed to repel the skeletons, and we began to retake the entrance.

I felt a strange smell, I looked back, I noticed a shadow above us, I look up and something was falling towards us.

I pushed Alice being careful not to make her fall all these stairs and took the impact.

God... What was this? I was a little dazed but I smelled a strong smell of blood, I looked closer and there was a body on top of me, he was completely disfigured.

I felt very nauseous watching that.

Alicia came to help me but someone appeared behind her very quickly, and as if everything were in slow motion I saw how he ran a sword through her from behind.

Robert: NOO!

The hooded man lifted her from behind with the sword with which he had impaled her. But Alicia, in a quick movement, concentrated all her magic in one of her hands and touched her face.

The hooded man's face literally caught fire, because of this he dropped the sword and Alicia fell, she was very hurt.

With all my strength I pushed the body off of me and ran to help her, shit, that wound is very serious, she was losing blood faster than she thought. it was best to leave the sword where she was so that the wound wouldn't open.

While I was somewhat in shock, I didn't realize that the murderer had already put out the fire, his face was all roasted, you could see horrible burns, he pulled out a knife and attacked me with great anger.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

But Danny appeared and kicked him towards some huts and destroyed them.

Danny: Are you okay?!

I tried to cover Alicia's wound a little, but I needed something to temporarily seal the wound, otherwise she was going to die.

Danny: I'll go finish that guy off.

Robert: Danny wait!

He didn't listen to me and left.

Robert: Damn it, Bella come on!

Bella stunned due to the scene but managed to react when she heard my scream.

Bella: What do we do!?

Robert: There's no time, do you have any herbs that will seal the side of his wound?

Bella: Do you want me to seal the wound with that stuck sword!?

Robert: If we take out the sword she will bleed to death quickly, if we leave it like this it will take longer that will give us some time, we need time to get her out of here.

She nodded and started using various herbs to do something.

I spent the entire time helping her carefully put the grass, apparently Alicia had fainted, but I could still hear her moans.

Bella: Well, everything was ready.

When we were about to lift Alice, I saw in the distance that there was a girl with some kind of daggers, some warriors ignored the skeletons to attack her but in the blink of an eye she managed to cut them all. But she didn't kill them, she left them all wounded, while the skeletons killed everyone.

I didn't even notice at what moment she made the cuts, she was as fast as Mizuki, out of nowhere she looked in our direction, before I knew it a dagger was coming straight towards me.

But a sword blocked her, it was Mizuki.

Mizuki: Take Ali...

Before I finished speaking the girl appeared in front of us and tried to stab Bella with Alice but Mizuki stopped her, so I took advantage of that moment to stab her with one of my arrows but she realized and pushed Mizuki to the side for a moment. and with an incredible maneuver he turned and kicked me so hard that he sent me flying up the stairs towards the temple, I crashed into the temple wall and collapsed a part of the wall... Impossible... I think something broke inside me...

What kind of person has such monstrous strength to kick me and send me flying up the temple when there were like a thousand stairs away?...

I felt my consciousness suddenly disappear...

(Mizuki's perspective)

I acted quickly and wanted to cut her but she was faster than I thought. She dodged it and while she was dodging it she took the dagger that she had thrown at us at the beginning and walked away from us.

I hope Robert survived that blow...

Mizuki: My girl, take her to my sister quickly, she will help them.

Bella wanted to say something but realized that it was not the time to speak and hurriedly picked up Alicia carefully and went upstairs.

Well, now I just have to defeat this girl... She looks very familiar to me... I shouldn't lose concentration, I realized instantly that she hit Robert, she is faster than me.

Listening to my instincts, I decided to remove the blindfold.

That aura... I feel like I've seen it somewhere... I can't remember where.

The girl without any waste of movement attacked me, in less than a second she was behind me to cut me, but I could see her every move, so I blocked it.

We began to exchange several attacks at a speed that no one should be able to see what is happening, it is the first time in my entire life that someone is on par with my speed.

I had to use some techniques, I felt that if I didn't fight with everything I would probably lose.

At one point I blocked her attack and pushed her, at that moment I concentrated and started making some movements.

The girl didn't quite understand what she was doing but she couldn't hit me, I dodged each attack with elegance, at one point I managed to cut off her arm and hit her.

That was my "Moon Dance".

Although I realized something... My power was decreasing... And it was not recovering...

I looked at the red moon for a moment, then looked at the girl, her wounds were regenerating.

I see, the red moon gives power to the girl and not us, we only have whatever lunar energy we have at the moment.

It was a very bad situation, I had wasted energy that I was not going to get back, if this dragged on I would lose to her.

When the girl saw her cut, she got angry and started attacking me faster than before, Can she still fight faster? This was not going well at all.

Every sword blow we exchanged brought me a second closer to my defeat.

I had to ensure victory in the next move, I deflected her attack and filled my sword with energy, and with one move I attacked her.

She blocked it with one of her daggers but it broke, my sword was going to cut her but in a fleeting movement she managed to dodge it and my sword continued towards the ground, I only managed to cut a lock of her hair. In one swift movement She hit me in the face with her fist and with a kick she sent me flying towards one of the temples that were in the distance.

Incredible, I manage to block and dodge my "Edge of the full moon" that shouldn't be so easy.

The girl appeared in the building and attacked me without letting me breathe. At one point I dodged her attack but I didn't realize that behind me was the boy that Robert found.

I wouldn't arrive in time to save him... But the boy's eyes shone yellow, before being hit by the dagger he dodged it... What? As it did?

The girl, ignoring that fact, took out her dagger that had been stuck in the ground and continued attacking me.

Each time she attacked with more fury and her power increased, I tried to surpass her in a fight, but my power had already decreased too much, I could no longer beat her in combat, while she recovered all her strength due to the red moon and increased her power even more.

At one point I thought she had left an opening and attacked her but I fell into her trap, she stuck her dagger in one of my legs, then she took it out and with a big fist she sent me flying towards a temple that was nearby, I crossed the entire temple due to the force of his blow, breaking everything when i hit the temple.

I was getting tired, in the blink of an eye the girl was in front of me, when she was about to cut off my head I managed to avoid her, the girl continued attacking me, she never stopped.

I began to receive many wounds, and the ones I gave him regenerated.

In a last attempt, I concentrated so I could finish her off with a single blow.

But as soon as I tried to hit her, she began to dodge my attacks elegantly... And just as if nothing had happened, I received a big cut on one of my eyes and then my arm.

Impossible...

Then she received me with a kick.

She kicked me and I went flying towards the main stairs and broke them... I had copied my Moon Dance...

While I was somewhat dazed, I managed to look at the sky and a silhouette was descending at full speed. I managed to move my head in time and a dagger stuck into the floor of the stairs.

I got up and tried to stab her but she grabbed a piece of rubble from the stairs and deflected my attack to the side, When he deflected my sword, he took advantage of that moment and grabbed me from the horse and pulled me and held me with one hand. When he was about to stab me with his dagger in his other hand I managed to block it and in one quick movement I cut my own hair with my sword to get out of that situation, she gave me a very hard kick in the chest, I flew towards the temple that was in front of the stairs of the main temple.

I started coughing up blood.

I didn't have time to get up as I was greeted with a knee to my stomach.

This is what I get for trusting my strength too much... maybe I could have figured it all out beforehand... possibly I would have won... if I didn't feel so superior to everyone...

She took all the air out of me with that blow to the stomach, then he grabbed me by the neck and threw me very hard against the floor of the temple entrance.

She jumped with her dagger in her hands, and stuck it in my stomach, but my image disappeared, she was confused, I took advantage of that moment and attacked her with “Heavenly Lunge” from behind her. When I was about to cut off her head, she moved her body quickly and because of that movement she managed to avoid me and I pierced her shoulder with my sword. I didn't stop there and brought the sword down with all my strength and when I was about to reach her heart, she stopped the sword with her hands from the other side.

I tried to put her down but she had more strength than me... she forcibly turned around and I had to let go of the handle of the sword, otherwise she would break my hands. She took her dagger with a fleeting movement pierced my stomach.

They couldn't get their hand out, it was too strong, with the last of my energy I gathered energy in my hand and with a fist, I hit the edge of the blade.

This managed to pierce her heart in half.

The girl began to lose the red color in her eyes.

Selene: I'm sorry sister...

It just can't be...

Mizuki: Selene...?

As I could have forgotten her, her eyes looked at me one last time with tears and then she fell to the side.

No... Because... I tried to touch her but my body didn't respond, I was losing a lot of blood.

I wanted to stand up, but I couldn't, while I was kneeling I looked up the stairs, my sister was going down with Robert in the distance.

I stretched out my hand so I could touch them one last time, even if they were far away.

But something crossed my back into my heart... What...? My vision quickly became blurry.

I'm sorry I can't say goodbye to everyone... I really regret not having been able to say goodbye... I couldn't hear anything anymore...

Robert I sincerely hope that they manage to move forward...

(Robert's perspective)

Mizuki looked at me smiling while something transparent crossed her chest and with a kind of witch behind her.

Her sister, seeing this, screamed so loud that it broke my eardrums... I only heard a beep after that, I saw how the witch who was stabbing Mizuki also covered her ears.

Artemis removed the blindfold and with a single look made the witch explode.

However, due to Artemis's anger, she did not notice a man who appeared out of nowhere behind her... When did that guy get there?

This man was missing an arm, but with his only arm he touched Artemis and before Artemis looked back, this man threw her to the ground, then picked her up and kicked her as hard as he could.

Artemis collided with me and we were thrown upwards, breaking part of the temple and falling into the river that was at the back of the temple.
