Heaven and earth

Mizeya: - Stand back Aika.

Sinaka: - It's at least a top-class B creature.

It looks like a bear, but it has 2 huge tusks sticking out of its mouth and big claws, which can be found on both its paws and legs.

Mizeya: - We will attack from both directions, I will go from the right.

Sinaka: - Okay.

Reaching one side of the creature, I tried to use my most effective cut as quickly as possible.

Mizeya: - Hyacinth of helplessness.

Sinaka: - Straight cut.

After the attack, it was as if their blade bounced off the creature's back.

Mizeya: - As far as I can see, we haven't scratched it yet.

Sinaka: - What then?

Mizeya: - We will continue to attack, let's find his weak point.

Unexpectedly, the creature that was in front of the two boys started to zigzag, then suddenly disappeared.

Sinaka: - Where are you going?

Aika: - Above you.

Mizeya: - What?

The creature in the canopy of a huge tree just stared upside down at the two boys, then moved in front of them with a quick movement.

Mizeya: - How can he move like that?

The boy didn't have much time to think, he was already attacking Sinaka

Mizeya: - Be careful!

Sinaka: - Diversion cut.

He almost cut the boy in half with his huge claw but managed to block the attack with a quick swipe of his sword, which he did before the creature's eyes.

Aika: - What are you doing? At your back!

One of the boys who was about to attack turned around to look at the girl.

Mizeya: - What are you talking about?

He couldn't finish saying it, because a huge animal pushed him away, thanks to which his helplessly flying body tore up a few trees.

Sinaka: - Mizeya!

The boy hurries there, then helps up the boy, who was coughing up blood, and who was just writhing on the ground.

Mizeya: - Kuuhkh, what happened?

The girl also ran there, stumbling because of her clothes, but she successfully stood up and then went to the boy.

Aika: - Are you okay Mizeya?

Mizeya: - I was better, he pushed me too far, wait, WHERE IS HE?

There was no need to look for the creature, it was already in front of them.

Sinaka: - We won't get away with this easily, it seems.

Mizeya: - Stand back Aika.

The girl hides behind the trunk of the thick tree behind the boys, then observes what happened, how will they defeat that creature?

Mizeya stopped suddenly.

What are you doing, you idiot? Sinaka thought to himself.

Sinaka: - What are you doing..are you sleeping?

I can see now, the drops of sweat on his head flowing evenly to his neck, this great concentration and calm emanating from him, like a calm after a storm, only here there is a strange feeling about to explode.

With all his might, the boy roared his strongest technique, which he had acquired through incredibly difficult and painful training.

Mizeya: - Perfect flower.

Look at me now boy, am I coming? So be it, here is my strongest attack.

Sinaka: - Clearest cut.

When the two attacks collided, a huge vacuum was created between the monster and the blow, which turned into a repulsive force in seconds. The two boys were pushed back by the force created by their attacks and then flew into the trunk of a huge tree.

The worried princess rushes over to the boys.

Aika: - Are you okay?

But unexpectedly, the creature that the princess thought had already died from Mizeya and Sinaka's attack got up from the ground and in the blink of an eye slashed the princess to the ground with its huge claws.

Mizeya: - Ai...ka

I can't feel my arms anymore, but I have to get back on my feet, I have to.

Get up, but immediately, you can't let him kill the one you've protected at all costs until now. Mizeya's thoughts.

Do I even have to turn my back on my inner voice? I should be able to kill that creature, but Faina has been sleeping since my occupation, I've run out of options, I'm not enough.

I wish I was stronger, I crave strength just to protect innocent and powerless people, I just can't stand this degenerate society anymore, the way it treats other people, especially those who don't come from a noble family.

I was able to move my neck a little, taking advantage of this I turned to Sinaka.

Mizeya: - H...elp Aika, ple..ase.

Where did he go? He was lying here next to me before, where are you?

Sinaka: - HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

The creature was blown away by Sinaka with his sword, then rushed to Aika, who was just lying on the ground with bloody claw marks on her arms.

Sinaka: - How are you?

The boy can barely stand on his own feet, so he leans on his sword and tries to help the princess up, but unexpectedly the animal gets back on its feet.

Sinaka: - Get up Aika.

The girl is just lying face down on the ground, just as she was created there.

Look at the boy, who is also lying on the ground.

Did you pass out? Why aren't you moving anymore Mizeya? I am weaker than you, you are much more robust, but then why?

They stand in front of each other, looking wolf-eyed at the creature.

Sinaka: - Then it seems that I have to finish you alone, such luck.

The creature's legs assumed a running position as if trying to push itself off the ground.

The boy takes out his sword and points it at the creature.

Sinaka: - Come.

He runs at the boy at such a speed that he only felt a very strong wind current on his sides, right where he swept past him.

Sinaka: - Diversion cuts.

It defends the series of attacks amazingly, which the creature's speed still allows.

Are you serious? And we're only dealing with an upper-class B, how strong can an S class, no, an A class!

With each deflection, I feel that the hand holding my sword wants to tear off, this weight and heaviness, which presses on my shoulders and legs, almost swallows me.

These sword strikes, but from whom do they come? Mizeya thought to himself.

With great difficulty, the boy turns his head, precisely in Sinaka's direction, where he hears the contact of his sword and the creature.

How is he still able to stay on his feet and still fight that monster?

I wouldn't be able to do this, am I all alone? Or am I just looking for excuses as to why I am so weak? I know that now even my inner voice is laughing at me, that I can only repeat these things, but I am weak.

I wonder why I can't live in peace and tranquility. I shouldn't be constantly injured or in pain after my unexpected fights, why can't I be uninjured for once in my life? No, am I asking a lot or rather a little?

I may not be the most determined or the strongest person in this world, but if one person believes in me, I can change the world, I know that.

Get up Mizeya, if you don't get up now, you will never reach your goal again, never.

Mizeya: - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Sinaka: - Aghwww.

Mizeya: - Wh..at?

He says with a trembling voice as he looks at his partner and only sees his body swimming in blood.

Where is your pity from before, you ridiculous hero, you are not capable of anything, if you have already become insecure about this, then how do you want to become a hero? You are ridiculous.

The boy started to cough up blood, as a result of which he was hit on one side. He flies right there in front of Mizeya.

Sinaka: - Not yet.

As he tries to get up from the ground, he collapses and his eyes close.

I can't move my legs or my hands, everyone is on the ground, so we're going to die here, is that it? Mizeya's Thoughts

The creature lunges at him where the two boys are lying, then stops suddenly in the air.

Unknown: - How long have people been walking in the second zone?

Another unknown: - That's a good question, master.

One of the younger ones jumps up in the air, where the creature is almost frozen, and then smashes the creature with a powerful blow.

Is Mizeya projecting his last thoughts or is it more of a wonderful idolization? I wish I could be as strong as if that boy had jumped from the sky, he is much stronger than us, why do I always have to rely on another person, why?

The three young people with tired bodies, who just lay on the ground helplessly, stiffly, surely they will be able to continue fighting for their goals, or rather a goal?

Another unknown: - What should we do with these anyway?

Unknown: - We will be forced to take them with us, take them.

He picked them up on their backs and they set off on another path through the forest.
