Chapter 146: Day 5 (iv)

I heard heavy footsteps approaching us at a fast speed.

"What is that sound?"

"It's that monster! Run!"

"The bridge is too thin! We can't run, if we do, we will fall down!"

"We will fall down even if we don't run. That monster will break the bridge--he already started breaking it!"

"We won't make--!"

She fell down. I grabbed her hand and swung her to the exit.

"Now I have repaid all your favors!"

The bridge broke, and I fell down.

Sigh~~

When I fell down, the monster jumped too.

Seeing it from below made me realize how big it was. Or maybe it got bigger when I slashed it?

"Say, Lily, will I die?"

I never died in the game. I wonder how it feels.

I feel more pain than others do. Maybe it's because of No Restriction that the pain limiter doesn't work on me?

I am sure it will hurt more.

[You won't die]

"Why is that?"

[There is a floor down]

"But I am falling from such a height"

"Cushion it, huh?"

The monster grabbed me when he passed me. I grabbed my sword and used sword skill, slashing its hand. 

I am free now, and the monster is below me, stretching its body to grab me.

Slashing won't work. He won't die.

If I slash it, it will just regenerate.

I need to burn it down.

If I can do whatever I want by just thinking about it, then...

I activated Excalibur skill, and my right hand absorbed the fire.

This has happened before when I was fighting with the manticores. But that was unintentional. 

I need to smash it with an intense force that its body can't regenerate.

I am already falling down. I can use my levitate skill to jump once, but that's not enough. I need more.

I will surely die if it grabs me again in its body.

Some pieces of bridge were falling down with us.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. There are seven pieces.

I used my levitate skill and jumped on the nearest piece, jumped from there, used my levitate skill again to jump on the next one. I did the same with all the pieces.

I got a 2x boost when I jumped on the first. 4x when I jumped from the first piece.

8x, when I used levitate skill to jump on the second piece.

16x, when I jumped from the second piece.

64x, when I jumped from the third piece.

128x, when I used levitate skill to jump on the fourth piece.

256x, when I jumped from the fourth piece.

512x, when I used levitate skill to jump on the fifth piece.

1024x, when I jumped from the fifth piece.

2048x, when I used levitate skill to jump on the sixth piece.

4096x, when I jumped from the sixth piece.

8192x, when I used levitate skill to jump on the seventh piece.

16384x, when I jumped from the seventh piece.

I couldn't even control the sudden boost in the speed. 

I smashed that monster with a 32768x power punch and passed through it. Its body burned into thin ashes.

{Note- He jumps 15 times. 1st when he used levitate to jump on the first piece, and 7 * 2 = 14. 14 other jumps. So 14 +1 +15 jumps in total.

15 jumps. Each jump boosting 2x. So 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * = 32768}

I was told to cushion the fall, but I boosted the fall by 32768.

If I die, I will automatically be disqualified from the event.

Sigh~~

Even though I was the first, I lost.

If I lose, I will lose Lily too.

That's the one thing I will never let happen.

"Hold on tight, Lily"

[Okay]

The pieces of the bridge were still falling down. I swayed to the closest one and grabbed it.

When I was about to hit the floor, I climbed on the piece and jumped, and used levitate skill just before I hit the floor. 

I safely landed on the floor.

"Are you okay, Lily?"

[Yeah, I am fine. What about you?]

"Nothing happens to me. As long as you are fine I am fine"

Diamond orbs rained down. 

"There are too many"

[It was the final boss]

"Final boss...do you mean we cleared the event?"

[If we pass through that door, then we cleared the event]

The diamond orbs gave me enough points to double my score.

"Now there is no way anyone can beat me"

Not only am I 1st to clear the raid, but I am first in the ranks too.

"Hey, Lily"

[What?]

"Don't you think something is weird?"

[What do you mean?]

"I don't know but I just feel like it"

Something weird...in my body...no, in my mind.

The whispers and screams have become more intense. 

I was sure that the whispers and screams were in my mind, but I feel like now they are more close. Like they can see me, touch me.

What is this feeling?

I suddenly feel worse.

My stomach feels so tight.

My legs are trembling.

[Das?]

"Let's go"

I just have to go climb those stairs and open that door, and I will win.

Just a little more.

'Why?'

"Huh?"

What was that?

'Why?!'

What is that voice?

What is going on?!

'Why did you do that?!'

Are these the whispers in my mind?

Why can I understand them now?

'No!'

My legs gave out and fell down.

That scream.

[Das, are you okay?]

"I am okay--not. I am...not okay. Help me"
