NIGHTMARE ♰ CITY

EP 2: Driven Fate

<Driven Fate>.

This was a glowing longsword that had a shape like a cross.

Ava stared at the sword, thinking about how and why did I have this blade.

Unfortunately, I could not answer the question either.

As I was reading the book, I saw an item that kept appearing in the storyline.

As this item was shown in the 3rd scenario, I questioned where he had gotten <Driven Fate>.

Actually, he had it all along with him.

The 'Star Streamer' seemed shocked that I didn't run away, and that I had a really powerful weapon.

An item this strong shouldn't be able to be held in the first scenario.

"...Where did you get that."

"No time for small talk."

"...You're right."

[The duel begins!]

"Let's see if you are worth your talk."

A building like a colosseum was being made in front of our eyes.

The countdown started.

[Begi-

Before I realised, Biuyones was flying towards me with a glowing paw.

"Status!"

[Status window opened.]

I barely dodged the first shot.

I was slow.

"Use 78 coins each on strength, durability, and speed!"

[Strength Lv 1 > Lv 12]
[Durability Lv 1 > Lv 12]
[Speed Lv 1 > Lv 12]

[Stronger muscles support your body.]
[Your skin becomes stronger.]
[Wind is felt behind your feet.]

[234 coins used.]

If I am slow, I just need to use the system.

I managed to block the next blow.

"Urk!"

Even with an overpowered weapon, it wasn't easy to block a 'star streamer's hit. In reality, they have lived much more than us, and built up much bigger tales than us.

CRASH!

"Urgh..."

The next hit was even more fatal. I could taste the blood that splattered inside my mouth.

But if I started this journey, there was no going back.

Metal bangs against hardened fur.

Biuyones managed to get a hit on my body.

"AGH!"

A fatal shot.

It felt as if my soul itself was torn.

I immediately realised that Biuyones had attacked my 'tale', not my body.

And tales were the baseplate of my soul.

Without them, my being itself can cease to exist.

"Is this it? You disappoint me..."

"Shut up."
