Reality Sucks

The young man reborn in this new world found himself faced against death immediately upon his entry. The golden armored for strapped to its gallant speed towered over him with animosity driven eyes glaring at Kaylo.

"Tsk." He gripped the cover of his sword and flicked the sword guard with his thumb. Click! The collar is unsheathed. His free hand withdraws the sword with a swipe. "It's not like I can run from it anyways."

The tree sentinel circles the area on horseback, gaining momentum as it continues to accelerate higher and higher.

Kaylo shifts his blade to his side. With the tip pointing to the opposite direction of him, he began to run as well. "This is still a game though. I can use the strat I usually use against them to beat him." He followed the pattern of the mini boss. Travelling in a circular manner.

"First, continue making him take the initiative to exploit his openings. He's slow because he's so big so it should be easy to dodge."

The horse races at him indirectly.

"Now!!" He stopped his own movement and charged at the horse. The pole arm slides against the ground as they grew closer to him.

Now in reach, the slash at his torso with the over six foot armament. Kaylo jumped up and covered his body, dodging the attack. He lands perfectly and immediately slashed at the Tree Sentinel with a slash from over his opposing shoulder. He hopped at the Tree Sentinel while doing so to reach the large man. As the blade closed the distance TING!! His blade matched a metallic material.

"You're shittin me."

The mob blocked his sword swings with its large weapon.

"It must've used the momentum of swinging his arm to bring it around and block my attack. But that's not a part of its mechanics!"

The armored assailant adds a bit of force to the opposing weapon and sends its opponent flying. "This guy is unreal!!" His body tumbles against the ground aggressively. The pain of hitting the plain was was awful but bearable.

"I can't beat him. Not right now." His free hand grips the dirt on the ground as the opposition approached him at devastating speeds. With another overhead slash befalling Kaylo, dirt reached its arms which stopped his assault.

A loud neigh comes from the horse they rode due to the sudden halt. It's arm covered it's eyes as blinked many times to get rid of the dirt in its eyes. With clear sight, he surveyed the area and Kaylo was no longer around.

Hiding amongst the bushes, the newly born Shinobi watched as the horse back knight galloped away.

A sigh of relief left him. "He's gone." Yet he noticed his hand shake almost violently.

"What the hell is this!! This gotta be one of those lucid dreams right? Right?" The pain in his rib disagreed. That feeling of air forcefully grinding against his skin and clothes were too vivid to be a dream. He peeked out to look at the tree sentinel. "I really am in Elden Ring."
