Blade Online Chapter 10

「Tsk.」

I clicked my tongue as I see the swarm of Huge Bees chasing behind me. I was careless. I never thought that this monster’s nest is nearby.

Killer Bee is a monster of Huge Bees. I was able to see its name by the time I passed level 40 and It seems that its not that strong. Because it always acts alone, I have not thought that it would call its comrades that was near the nest. I would be able to take care if its one or two but the bees behind me is easily exceeds 30. Its impossible to win.

I have not yet been caught up by somehow making full use of Agility, I’m currently running in the exact opposite direction of the cave. I’m in a state where I don’t know where I’m going. No, the meaning is different.

I avoid the tree approaching before my eyes and earnestly run forward.

I ran out of breath. This is dangerous. Stamina would not last anymore. My running speed is also getting slower, its a matter of time before they caught up.

What should I do? Shall I prepare to fight to death?.

I confirmed when I looked back behind is a Killer Bee with an orange body and like a big hornet is approaching. A grating buzz and chinking mouth sound is approaching.

When I decided to fight and draw the『Bloodstained Sakura』 in my back, I noticed that the scene in front of my eyes is different from before. Not a soil but a stone pavement in the ground is verified a few meters away. Perhaps, It might be the place where there is a boss monster. Its better to fight the boss than certainly waste a piece of Soul’s Fragment fighting Killer Bee. I stopped drawing the Long Sword and run towards the Stone Pavement while mustering my remaining strength.

Its on the mark. The Killer Bees does not approach the part of Stone Pavement and somewhere, a frustrating like buzz was heard.

Well then, Shall I defeat the boss and escape this place?.

I go ahead and a shrine like thing made of stone came into my sight. There is a stone gate ahead and from there is covered in darkness and can’t be seen. There is a vine entwined in the wall and It shows so much mood.

I go into the Shrine through the gate. I felt the atmosphere suddenly changed once I enter. The atmosphere became tense and making my skin sting.

〈doshin〉(thud), something falling sound is heard in my back. The gate is closed when I turn around. It seems like my escape route disappears. Bracing myself, I draw 『Bloodstained Sakura』 and gaze to the space in front of me.

It suddenly came.

A breaking eardrum like volume of roar shakes the Shrine. My body froze. A blue flame appears and it changed into a shape of something huge. Its a Bear. A  Huge Bear covered in blue fur. A size and intensity that can’t be compared to Bloody Bear. I was completely overwhelmed by the boss. My legs trembled and power does not come into my hand that has 『Bloodstained Sakura』.

Aa…….

Why I forgotten that very simple thing.

Isn’t it the boss’ level setting can only be won when a bunch of player form a group. It is given that to fight this guy in front of me is to assemble players whose level is the same as mine. Isn’t it there is no way to win by Solo.

The Gigantic Bear roars once again and its eyes glares at me. “Did you come Alone?”, is what it seems to sneer.

「Hi, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!」

The bear is approaching slowly. I can only do nothing but running around while screaming. The Soul’s fragment is not yet used since then. However, I feel like I won’t be able to defeat this guy even if I revived nine times.

It brandish its sharp claw that sprout in this long hand and its going down towards me. that alone is a terrifying power. Still by easily receiving that much, it does not mean that I gave up. I look at the attack prediction line with 【Mikiri】 and evade with 【Step】. The Bear’s hand strike against the wall of the Shrine and it greatly shake. I’ll immediately die if I completely receive that.

My teeth is making a sound by trembling and chattering just now. Its no doubt that I might wet myself if its reality.

The Bear glared at me. With that alone, I fall into a feeling that was like a blade is thrusting into my neck.

I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die;.

「Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」

I jumped using 【Quadruple Jump】 and aim for the head of the bear. I have no choice but to aim for vital points to instant death to win. However, 【Quadruple Jump】 does not even reach the head. I change the target and aim the heart.

I swing a thrust towards the heart while screaming. However, I was sent flying by the bear’s hand before I hit it. I sense that something is coming at the back of my body. I crashed into the wall of the shrine. Severe pain strikes my back. My consciousness is becoming dim. There is only just several millimeters left when I checked my HP.

Damn…. I don’t want to die. Though I’m going to take out the recovery medicine from the Item Box, my sight is becoming blurry and I don’t know which is which. Even if I take it out, I need take it by hand and carry it to my mouth. Since I don’t have strength to move my hand, either way is impossible….

Am I going to die?

In a place like this? Alone? Without doing anything?

I don’t want it. I don’t want to die.

There is still something I want to do.

I want to apologize to the people who brought up a useless human being like me. I’ll properly study for university after going home in real world, I’ll find a Job and earn money properly. I want to buy something for my grandmother with that money. As for the cold Shiori, I’m sure she’ll return like before if I become diligent. I’d like to play a game like in the past with her and laugh together.

I saw the bear raising its arm.

I don’t want it. I don’t want to die.

I’m going to return to the real world.
