Chapter-2: The Regrets

What is that thing, how can there be something like that here.

Noriko run or we will die. (The murderous intent that Kazuki felt was not normal he was scared, his whole body was telling him to run away.)

 <5min before this>

Kazuki are you sure we should go out there.

yes, there is someone who is dying out there we have to save him.

(when they got outside of the mall)

Kazuki are you seeing what Iam.

how can there be such a creature.

[the creature that was in front Kazuki and Noriko was not a creature like ogre. It was something stronger and more dangerous than it was a shadow dragon]

(Shadow dragon it is a creature found in rifts. It is not normal monster you will find in rifts but if you see it you should run away as soon as possible because it has one of the hardest skins and you can't damage it until you use some kind of magic.)

Kazuki why is there a thing like this here, how would I know. But that's not the question right now, we need to find a way outside of this area or we might die.

"The shadow dragon swooped down, with its wing outstretched. landed in front of Kazuki and Noriko."

So that's how we got here,

how do we run from a beast this large.

Kazuki we must do something, that dragon is coming toward us.

what, where is the dragon?

look above you, " What? when did the dragon flew above me".

I was in the middle of the street, and the dragon is right above me, this was a situation which I never thought I would be in.

Kazuki run or you will be crushed by the dragon.

"In that moment, Kazuki felt what true fear is felt like it was the moment his body stopped reacting like before in the ogre attack."

But the moment before the dragon strikes him, he was pushed away by Noriko, "in his mind he thought, why this has to happen, why did you have to come in its way, why did you save me."

'When the dragon struck to the ground, Noriko was in his mouth covered in blood and was almost on the brink of death.'

Kazuki just hoped that Noriko was still breathing but how was he going to save her.

Noriko is still alive, but what can I do, I don't even have any special ability, nor do i have any special skill.

what should I do, no what can I even do how can save I her.

No, I can't just sit here, I have to do something this isn't right what can i use what is near me that I can use to save Noriko.

"Kazuki found some stones and a dagger like knife."

ok let's do this now, I hope Noriko is still alive.

hey dragon look here 'Kazuki throwed stones to attract its attention'.

the dragon flew towards me, I got chilled to the spine, but I can't back down now i have to this.

Kazuki pulled out a dagger like knife to attack the dragon.

the dragon opened his mouth to attack Kazuki, and Noriko fell down from its mouth and hit the ground.

Kazuki run towards Noriko to save her, but the dragon used a flamethrower attack towards Kazuki. Kazuki was surprised by the flamethrower attack of the dragon.

Kazuki reacted instinctively to that attack and moved out of the way of the attack. 

but he still got hit by the attack on one of his hands and got burned.

when he reached to Noriko she was barely alive, Kazuki said " hey Noriko you aren't dead right, stay with me, I will save you somehow. you will be alright".

Noriko was barely able to speak and was coughing blood. "Kazuki, I won't be able to survive this run without me or you will also die".

No, don't say that you will not die, what will I do if you die you are the only person who didn't treated me like a devil.

I will save you; Kazuki accepts it I can't survive this I can't even feel my lower body now.

In her last moment Noriko said "Kazuki even if I won't be able to survive don't lose hope stay alive and live a life that you want. Kazuki than you for everything you have done till now, and sorry I won't be able to get out of here with you."

(Norika hand fell down and she took her last breath)

"Kazuki was in anger and disbelief and started blaming himself."

why did this have to happen, why did I have to survive and not her. I should have been the one to die not her. if only I didn't act stubborn and listened to what she said. she could have survived this if it wasn't for me.

but the dragon is still alive and was attacking me.

I don't know what is happening, but I just knew one thing I have to kill this dragon, I won't let anyone suffer the same fate as Noriko.

I would kill this beast right here right now.

'Kazuki dashed towards the dragon and attacked it tail with the knife which didn't affected the dragon at all'.

whatever I do I couldn't even damage the dragon let alone kill it.

what should I do I need to defeat this dragon to survive. But my attacks don't even do any damage how do I kill it, wait if I can't damage his skin I should try to damage more vulnerable part of the dragon like his eyes.

that should work but how will I attack his eyes. I need to think of some tactic in the fight.

Yeah, that should work. ' He threw more rocks at the dragon to make him angry' which worked, and the dragon charged at him, then he tried to jump on the head of the dragon. 

he was successful at that and now was on top of the dragon. the dragon tried to shake him of his head.

but Kazuki was trying his to not be shaken away by the dragon. so used all of his strength to grab on to the dragon and climbed up to his eyes.

Kazuki said so how does feel to be hunted then being the hunter and He lunged, the knife aimed at the eye of the dragon, fueled by rage and desperation.

and successfully delt a fatal blow to the dragon. which ended the dragon from bleed out.

Then suddenly a message popped up and said…...
