Chapter 07: A Red Player... Again
Toffi was able to block both our slashes while making the both if us land on different sides of him. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Asuna once again charched at Toffi, staggering him by breaking trough his block "Switch!"
Switching. In bossfights or even normal fights against npc monsters, there is a switching system. One member of the party staggers the enemy by breaking his block, says switch, and the other member deals a blow to the enemy using the time the enemy's staggered to deal massive amounts of damadge. That this would ever be used for a player... It was really interesting and stupid. I still followed along though.
I bend my knees to get into a dash position, and with all my force dashed forwards, using the handle of my katana to give Toffi a hard blow, sending him flying right into the wall.
Unsuprisingly enough, he stood up like nothing happened. "That guy's fucking tough..." His health bar was reduced to the 50% point, but he looked like nothing ever happened
As i was about to go in for another blow, my chest suddenly felt tight, and started to hurt. "Why?! Why now?!"
Since i was born i was constantly at risk of a heartattack. That this would bother me in such a moment...
I fell to my knees, and held my chest, "It hurts, it hurts" i mumbled to myself. Even Toffi asked me "Are.. Are you okay?". It was unexpected, but it looked like i wasn't the only one who didn't become a red player because he wanted to.
"It hurts.. so.. much..." i mumbled once more, before collapsing on to the floor.
When i came back to my senses, the pain was gone, but Asuna and Toffi were still fighting. Both Asuna and Toffi were low on health, but Asuna didn't want to kill him.
"Haha. Come on girl! Kill me already!" Toffi mocked Asuna for being unable to kill him. "I wont!". I knew, that if that would countinue, that Asuna would probably die here.
"I hate people..." that thought crossed my mind, as i stood up an picked up my katana. I gave it my all to hide my presence, and be almost invisible to the human eye.
I stood behind Toffi, raised up my sword "Wait! Don't!" even though Asuna told me not to, i swang down my sword, and made Toffi's hp sank to zero... I killed him.
By the look Asuna had on her face, i could guess what my expression looked like. My expression most likely, was as cold as ice, and didn't have the slightest bit of regret. I probably looked like i didn't give a fuck about what i just did
My by the amulete green colored crystal, changed to red and i could see Asuna's hand gripping her sword tighter.
I just countinued looking at her and started to walk towards her. She didn't move, but i could see that she had to hinder her reflexes to attack me as i walked passed her towards my groupleader.
"I want my money. This is uncomfortable" i said to him. I could see Asuna' body shaking for a second through her shadow. "Well... That's to be expected" i thought.
The groupleader gave me my money and i started walking away, when i saw a sword appearing in front of my throat. "Wait..."
A/N: Sorry that this chapter got uploaded three days after the last one, but i recently turned ** and because of Covid-19 we couldn't really celebrate, so we did that yesterday, that's why i didn't have the time to upload this chapter, and decided to upload it today.
