Confronting Fears

[Denzel is seen beaming with great excitement since he feels he has overcome his doubts and can now continue his training because doubts will no longer interfere with it.

He tells sky, "Hey, I am ready for our next training session."

In answer, Voice says, "You're not ready to fully realize your potential yet."

Denzel raises his eyebrows and asks, "What do you mean? I've already overcome my doubts."

Sky responds, "Those are nothing but doubts. Now things will heat up as you face your four big phobias."

As soon as he hears a voice, his body trembles with panic.

Denzel answers, his body shaking with fear. "What, I thought those had all of my fears fused in that experience, wasn't it?"

Voice responds, "If you had overcame your fears, Then you won't be able to feel fear."

Denzel remains mute because he knows Voice has a point.

Denzel says, "A-Alright, bring them out."

Denzel gulps frantically, and he begins to feel the presence of his fear.

Denzel finds himself standing in the midst of a large and wide-open colosseum as the atmosphere quickly shifts from a clear sky to a gothic ambience, with the air filled with fear.

Denzel begins to sense and even breathe fear as it flows through the air, forcing his nerves to feel even more fear. 

Denzel begins to feel severe rumbling in the Colosseum.

Denzel begins to sense an approaching creature.

With horror in his eyes, Denzel immediately rotates his body to the opposite side, and what he sees causes his eyes to widen so much that they almost explode out.

Denzel yells in terror, his heart racing as soon as he sees the monster, and begins to flee as fast as he can.

Denzel slips on a pebble while attempting to get away from the entity as quickly as possible, facepalms on the ground as he trips over.

As Denzel facepalms on the ground, a loud thud echoes throughout the Colosseum.

Denzel struggles to rise up due to the fear that the thing has induced him.

Denzel rapidly rotates his head to observe Spider, who is twice as big as him.

Denzel quickly throws a pebble at the spider, giving him time to flee, but the spider continues to approach him unaffected by the rock.

Denzel cries, "Get away from me!" and tries to slither away from the spider.

The spider throws its web at Denzel.

Denzel swiftly rolls to the side and stands up, ready to go as fast and far as possible.

Denzel starts running as quickly as he can.

Spider notices this and chooses to follow Denzel.

Denzel slightly turns his head back, only to find Spider pursuing him.

Denzel's eyes are wide open with horror, and he decides to raise the speed as much as possible.

Denzel tries to go as quickly as he can but finds himself imprisoned within fog.

Denzel realizes he is encircled by fog on all sides, causing him to lose track of Spider.

Denzel begins to back up slowly out of terror, assuming that Spider could jump him from anyplace.

Denzel's alertness rises as he becomes engulfed in fog.

Denzel begins to anticipate a surprise attack from the spider, while also considering all of the possible negative outcomes that could occur at any time.

Denzel glups in fear, thinking, 'All hope is lost, is this indeed the end?' In his internal monologue.

Denzel begins to search his surroundings for anything that could assist him battle the spider.

Denzel begins to check his surroundings for anything that could be used as a weapon and discovers three stones.

Denzel slowly begins to sneak up on pebbles without making a sound.

As Denzel tries to sneak his way to the pebbles, he hears a loud noise.

Denzel's eyes widen, and his pulse skips a beat as he wonders, 'Did that spider detected me?' 

Denzel rapidly, but without using his voice, picks up three pebbles from the ground and begins to ramble around in the fog.

Denzel begins to wander around in the fog, voiceless, when he hears loud rumbling again.

But this time, Denzel isn't as terrified as he was the last time.

Denzel carefully begins to explore the fog and discovers two figures staring at each other.

Denzel takes a few steps ahead, only to find two huge spiders.

Denzel Takes a step back and begins to consider, 'Should I battle these spiders now?'

Denzel is scared to even think and continues his inner monologue with, 'I-I-I have to face them, in the end, whether in the future or now. But how? There are currently two of them. What am I going to do now?'

Denzel then tries to calm himself by taking deep breaths and thinking, 'I should face them now. Let us see, How?'

Denzel then discovers he is in a dream state.

Denzel smirks as he thinks, 'I want an ethereal blade now, while gazing at the sky.'

The sword arrives out of nowhere, just as Denzel imagines.

Denzel immediately catches the blade before it hits the ground.

Denzel couldn't believe he grabbed the blade without making a noise.

Denzel smirks as he begins to scrutinize the blade from all angles.

Denzel begins to grin confidently, but his body trembles with anxiety.

Denzel begins to get bravery while standing up.

Denzel turns around and emerges from the fog, sword in hand.

Both spiders instantly turn to their sides to see Denzel smirking while clutching his weapon.

One of the spiders begins to shoot its web at Denzel.

Denzel smirks as he grabs a stone from his pocket, hurls it in the air, and strikes a baseball posture, using his sword as the base and the stone as the ball.

Denzel blasts Pebble with his sword at Web, decimating it.

As Denzel performs this, he wonders how he is able to do it before realizing it is his instinct.

Denzel raises his sword and uses it to pull Pebble back, only to forcefully strike the pebble with his sword again.

This time going for one spider.

Spider is smacked in the face by a buffed rock, making a huge thud.

Both spiders analyze this for a few minutes before being triggered and rushing toward Denzel with great speed.

Denzel is initially cocky, but after witnessing what he sees, he begins to feel afraid by the eerie movement of spiders.

Denzel begins to feel terrified again, realizing that he has messed up.

Denzel begins to sprint the opposite direction, towards the fog.

Spiders promptly catch up with Denzel in the fog and surround him.

Denzel clenches his teeth in fear.

Denzel has no idea what to do right now.

Both Spiders fire their attacks with incredible speed.

Denzel sees this and becomes terrified to the point of losing consciousness.

The sound of sword clash is heard which echoes throughout entire colosseum.

Denzel suddenly finds himself in the air performing a handstand stance while avoiding one of the spider's attacks and blocking another spider's strike with his sword.

Denzel finds the POV frightening, causing him to lose his sense of balance and fly backwards on the ground.

Denzel tightens his closed eyes and slowly stands up, perplexed.

Spiders rapidly turn their bodies towards Denzel and stare at him for a few moments, processing what has just occurred.

Denzel stares back at them, still absorbing what occurred.

One of the two spiders begins to charge up and launches its web at Denzel with incredible speed. This time, however, Web was burning with fire.

Denzel clenches his sword and attempts to dodge the web, but is only barely successful.

Blazing Web collides with the ground, resulting in a flash of fire lighting up the ground.

Denzel begins to feel fear and continues to overthink how he would overcome these spiders to the point where his eyes turn completely white for a few seconds.

Denzel slips unconscious as his eyes begin to turn completely white. This happens several times before Denzel regains consciousness.

Denzel begins to overthink again, but this time with such intense terror that his heart begins to beat at an incredible rate.

Denzel begins to lose consciousness and falls to the ground.

Spiders look at the sight in complete confusion and begin to stare at each other for a few minutes before approaching the unconscious Denzel.

As the spiders approach Denzel, they realize he is not lying on the ground. 

They begin to search the area but cannot find Denzel.

While they are looking, one spider looks up and notices Denzel in a swing stance while airborne.

Both spiders grow alert and begin to blast webs at him.

Denzel swings his sword at a rapid pace, generating a horizontal energy slash that destroys all of the webs hurled at him.

Denzel lands with ease, his face expression emotionless. 

As Denzel approaches, Spiders slowly begins to walk backwards, only to sprint towards Denzel with incredible speed.

Denzel approaches them fearlessly, and then starts sprinting at them with incredible speed. 

As Denzel and Spider move forward, one spider swings its claw at Denzel, while the other leaps into the air and begins shooting its web at him.

Denzel easily blocks the claw assault with his sword and flips over Spider 1's body to avoid Spider 2's webs.

Denzel strikes Spider 1 in the back with his sword, injuring him, and then tumbles backwards with considerable speed, creating a large distance between him and the spiders.

Denzel instantly rushes at Spider 2 in mid-air.

Denzel grabs Spider-2's head and stabs his sword into its throat, causing blood to flow through it.

After stabbing, Denzel tosses Spider-2 to the ground and instantly stabs him in the head. While stabbing, Denzel drags his sword across Spider-2's entire body.

Spider-2 gushes blood all over Denzel's body as he does the horrible act. Spider-1 responds by blasting web at him.

Denzel, on the other hand, is so fast that he generates his own clone, which destroys all of the hurled webs and injures Spider-1 in no time thanks to his afterimage.

The afterimage of Dnezel continues to strike Spider-1 over 23 times in less than a second.

After a few moments, Denzel is standing with his sword, covered in blood and staring at the ground, while Spider's body cannot stop flowing blood.

As Denzel prepares to move, he hears tremendous and loud rumbling throughout the Colosseum.

Denzel remains there unfazed by the rumbling, showing no signs of fear.
