82 82: No Hope

With abated breath, Corey in his focused state gripped his spear tighter as he focused intensely on the Right Guardian walking calmly towards him.

A drop of sweat dropped unto the floor from Corey's forehead, showing the extreme level of focus he was exerting.

He dared not to blink as he watched the Right Guardian take calm and steady steps towards him and with every step the Right Guardian took, the pressure on Corey increased.

As the Right Guardian got closer and closer to Corey, he felt an urge at the back of his mind to flee, to just run away and abandon his sister, that there was no way he could defeat the person in front of him.

This urge, this feeling, was fear.

Fear started to creep into Corey's heart causing his focus to waver slightly but the instant it wavered, a fire which rarely appeared, appeared in Corey's eyes and heart, dispelling the rising fear in him.

His breathing became calmer and his eyes became slightly sharper.
