The Well
Hyaa!
Asherah attacked fiercely, and I thought I also succeeded in pushing her back.
Alright! That blow definitely landed—
Asherah, behind!
Kyah?!
But after that exchange, all that remained was a fallen Asherah and a still standing enemy, unfazed in the slightest.
How disappointing, [Captain].
...No, for Saviors who have yet to finish the [Journey]... this is expected.
...How boring.
Kgh...!
Asherah!
I rushed to Asherah and checked her condition.
Fortunately, the attack missed her vitals, but it was no light blow.
I-I'm fine. It's just a scratch. Nothing serious... Agh.
Can you stand?
Y-yeah...!
I supported Asherah to her feet, but that was all she could do.
...We're suppose to dance together.
That is the sole pleasure granted to me.
To think I can't even enjoy that...
...
...How unpleasant.
The room filled with suffocating malice.
This time, I will end you all.
Stop.
You've played around enough.
...What now?
You dare stop me?
Did you not wish to escape the [Cycle]?
If you can't even control your emotions and wish to run amok like a lunatic, go ahead.
But you will be trapped in this endless Cycle forever. Like a rat.
...
If not, end your little game and follow me.
I will lead you out of this cage.
...Fine.
I don't know what you're planning, but I'll play along for now.
Of course, fail to entertain me... and you will see no mercy.
...As you wish.
The two girls clad in black turned their backs to us as they walked deeper into the chambers.
While I was thinking of my next move, the masked girl turned to look at our direction.
...
For some reason, I felt like she was staring directly at me through the mask.
But with a flash of brilliant light, the two girls vanished.
