Chapter 50
Translator: Masakibluei
My vision is blinking in black and white . My eardrum is shaking by sharp noises around me . Rapidly, my all senses of the world is starting to return to me .
-------Aa the limit is coming .
As my senses start to return to me, my <<Fake Shadow>> art starts to dissolve . Although I am tempted to give my worn out body some rest, I cannot stop moving yet . When I take a step forward, my whole state of mind is shaking . A shock starts to assail me to the point of having delusion and I am also stumbling on my feet . Suddenly, I feel an intense pain that I cannot ignore anymore . Then I collapse and slide to the ground .
It’s hurts .
Hurts .
Incredibly hurts .
Someone helps me…
I’m dying . Dying .
What’s this .
It’s so painful .
The pain is unbearable .
Not only my feet . I feel pain all over my body . My arms and throat are hurting too . I feel so painful like my limbs are ruptured . The pain is incredible . I don’t even feel about the pain from my falling to the ground anymore .
Due to the exceeding pain, I can’t think about anything else except the word ‘PAIN’ in my head . I even cannot scream about the pain because my throat feels like burning . It hurts and I cannot let out a voice . My lungs feel like being crushed . My heart is also hurting . It is probably going to explode soon .
My head feels like being pressed .
My field of vision is starting to be dyed in white .
Other than my own heartbeats, I cannot hear anything else .
This is probably the payment of using <<Fake Shadow>> with my worn out body . I pushed my body too much . My body does not keep up with my mental vision . Now I feel the backlash of pushing it too hard .
My bones, muscle fibers, and all cells in my body are screaming the pain .
In the first place, it was a miracle that I was able to invoke the <<Fake Shadow>> art . At that time, I moved my body relentlessly while relying on my survival instinct to project my surroundings and acted accordingly . If I was negligent of my practice with Jin or if my will to live was weak, then I would not be able to shake off the Armour Warrior . I want to thank Jin for showing <<Fake Shadow>> art, as well as Erin who give me the meaning to stay alive and go home together .
Note: “Ah, but those are my thoughts if I do get to go home alive…”
I mutter as I am laying on the ground like a caterpillar . I confirm once again that I cannot even move one fingertip . I even doubt that I really muttered those words with my mouth . I might be speaking in my own head . At the same time as I gradually losing my consciousness, I start to wonder if I am going to die now . I presume if my overworked body is going to end now, while I am on the verge of dying and lying motionless on the ground, a monster might appear and find me here .
Ultimately, what awaits me is death .
Although I am unwilling to die, my heart has already felt satisfied .
If I die here, everyone in the Arrivers would be sad, Erin especially would grieve even more . I absolutely do not want her to cry . If I die here, she might even lose her chance to stand on her own feet . So, I don’t want to die .
‘Isn’t it enough that Erin is the only one who able to get out from this floor?’
This thought comes to my mind . At the very least, the minimum objective has been achieved . Don’t I deserve some praise for this? I who is powerless without any power, have done so much and made this through .
Right now, I can’t even move my body . It will be extremely difficult to realize my promise to Erin to go back together to Purith town . If that’s the case, it makes sense to feel satisfied that I make it until here .
As I start to give up on living and my state of mind becomes calmer, I feel something is touching my shoulder . My shoulders are shaken . Even if I could not see it with my eyes, I know whose it is . This warmth belongs to Erin .
Erin: “……………………”
I can’t hear what she is saying . My worn-out brain has refused to accept any sounds .
Erin: “………………………”
Albeit strangely enough, I can understand that Erin is giving me some affectionate words . She came here to help me .
She pulls up my body . I’m not really sure what’s going on, but perhaps, she is trying to carry me . The area around my chest feels warm . She might be carrying me on her back . It feels slow and awkward . Although she is taking slow steps, we are moving ahead . She has to keep taking a step forward to go back to Purith town .
Both of my feet are dragged and grazed against the ground . My body sways to all directions . The comfort of being carried is absolutely worst . Despite the zero comfort level, I feel relief at the moment . This feeling probably comes from being in contact with Erin .
While I’m being absent-minded like that, I suddenly lose my consciousness .
When I open my eyes, my views are completely wrapped in black . A thought rises from the bottom of my heart, ‘It does not seem like I’m going blind’ .
As my eyes are slowly adjusted themselves to the darkness, I could see walls and some furniture . This is that . This is my room . It’s a familiar sight . I immediately realize that I have returned to Purith town .
It has been so long since I was here in this room . The nostalgic atmosphere makes me unable to calm myself . I wake up right away to check the time . Apparently, it’s 3:00 am in the morning now .
Just as I thought, when I open the curtain, the view that I can see through the window is dark . Up until this point, I finally take notice of my body condition . My body is light and I don’t feel any pain anymore . I turn my shoulder, raise my feet up and no matter what I look, there is nothing wrong with it . Not even injuries, I do not feel any slightest of discomfort at all .
Most probably, Neme had healed me with her healing spells . I have to thanks her later .
Then I immediately start to feel bored . The first thing I do next is to take a bath . I have been stuck in the dungeon for more than of month, so this is a natural matter . I have to clean off my body and wear new clothes . Although I’m not a bath lover, just for today I want to submerge myself in the bathtub for a long time .
Because it is late at night now, the light on the bathroom on the first floor is off . Perhaps, everyone is sleeping at the moment . It would be inconvenient for everyone if I accidentally wake them up, so I go to the bathroom without making any sound .
After the long bath, I go up the stairs to the 2nd floor to head back to my room . When I reach on the top, there is a light coming from the 3rd door in front of me . It’s coming from my room .
