He shot towards me while trying to cut me in a vertical slash with his sword in his left hand, I deftly dodged to the opposite side

He wasn't caught by surprise when he threw his shield towards me, I flew to the wall of the arena, my consciousness going back and forth

'You promised me you would be strong'

I quickly looked to my right side where the boy I had buried with his mother was.

'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT'

The intoxicating sound of the child's voice began to repeat itself in my head as I walked towards the giant who was slamming his sword against his shield as if

 To provoke me, I gave up the spear that would take away all my advantage since he was taller and stronger than me when something came to my head

'what if I...'

I imagined a long, thin sword that would give me the speed advantage I needed

he looked surprised as he changed his stance to the nearest shield

'So he's smart huh'

I felt my insanity leaving as I heard screams from the boy in my head asking me to dominate him to kill him.

'Kill him in the worst way possible, how about leaving him blind for the rest of his life? HAHAHAHA'

a smile appeared on my face even without my consent

making the giant drop his shield and face me seriously

I unconsciously placed my sword in front of my body in a pose I was unfamiliar with but felt comfortable using it.

We started exchanging blows while I dodged his and craters appeared on the ground, I hit him with small cuts, when he hit me with another punch and I heard the sound of ribs breaking, making me lose my breath.

he didn't give me time to rest when he ran towards me

my pains becoming numb with the madness in my mind

I smiled at him coming towards me when golden particles shone around me and everything became slow, I ran towards him and saw all his movements as I dodged and hit vital points trying to subdue him

 I got it right

 several small cuts in the vein in his forearm

as I dodged and continued slashing as I felt my body getting weaker

I saw the sword in his hand coming down, I dodged to the left, when he tried to hit me with the shield,

 I dodged to the other side again and tried to get to his back with my speed, when halfway I realized that he was following me with his eyes.

I felt my speed returning to normal when I lost strength in my legs

I saw the smile on his face when he threw his shoulder at my face with all the strength in his body, I flew out of the arena and found myself falling.

falling from the cliff I started thinking about ways to save myself, I tried to create the spear and attach it to the wall but it didn't come together in my hand, even though I tried several times

'Dammit dammit dammit'

"AAAAAAAAAH"

After long moments I fell and felt the ground around me fold and suck me in.

When the salt water started to burn all my injuries, making me come out of my intoxicated state, I started to swim upwards and looked at how far I fell.

From above I saw the big hand and what seemed to be the giant's smile as he mocked me

'Son of a bitch'

I looked around and saw that it was dark, very dark, making me uncomfortable, reminding me of the demon that trapped me in the middle of the darkness, suddenly giving me a shiver.

I started walking towards the clear side of the lake, looking for some way to get out.

'Why always a dark place?'

I felt my back and all my muscles hurt but I didn't stop walking, refusing to give up

when I sank and fell into the water, drowning

I felt like the water was pulling me under as I lost my strength,

fatigue taking its toll from me abusing my body so much in consecutive efforts

When I opened my eyes it was in the brightest place I had ever seen, clearly uncomfortable for the eyes.

I got up in fear of some imminent threat

When I saw that there were only mirrors I looked around to try to find a way out, nothing more, it was as if I was teleported here.

After a long time looking for a way out I didn't find anything, not even a hint.

'Why do these things always happen to me? why'

despair starting to eat away at me

'So many promises, so many sacrifices for nothing, for me to die like a worm in a random place'

I started to give up on leaving and sat where I was and summoned my spear thinking about ending my life myself before I went crazy.

'If you kill yourself, you kill yourself, if you kill yourself, you kill yourself'

the child's voice screaming in my head I put my blade to my neck when the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I opened my eyes

I saw Victor with a smile in my direction and his twin axes drawn

he flew towards me, not giving me time to think as I threw myself to the side, hitting one of the parts of the crystal place.

I continued to dodge while more wounds appeared on my body and I tried to react from Hermodium when out of nowhere he opened the distance

"You let me die, and now I'm going to take you with me, you worthless!"

the voice in my head started laughing at the image of my friend

'he died then...'

I faked a confident smile on my face as I worked out my emotions along with the guilt consuming my insides.

"Then I'll have to kill you again to go back to Aqua"

He frowned as his axes began to catch fire.

"I will destroy you TRAITOR"
