“Chapter 255: Rebirth 2”
※
(Narrator’s POV)
Roar found himself in the darkness of a dead silent ocean.
Though in reality, he was only on top of Takaya, not literally in him.
It was a fake image created inside his own mind.
Roar was slowly sinking deeper into the ocean, struggling to move by himself.
– Is this what he saw? Man, I’d go nuts if I was him.
His legs were trembling. His instincts told him to run away.
Takaya must’ve felt like that in the past too. Yet he pushed forward. All for the sake of the guild and his friends.
Now, it was Roar’s time. If he failed here, Shiori would kill everyone.
Besides, if Takaya was incapacitated, Roar would have to bear all the workload at the guild.
– He’s the one that deserves to be at the center.
Suddenly, Roar bumped into something.
– Huh? Is this a wall?
It’s hard to see, but something was definitely blocking his path.
【――……―#$】
– What now?
【――……―#$】
The voice wasn’t coming from outside. It was inside his head. And it didn’t sound human. It was the phenomenon Takaya told him about.
Every second he analyzed the situation he got more and more scared.
【――……―#$】
– Ah, shut up…
But he couldn’t back off.
– It’s fine… I can do this.
Roar closed his eyes. He had an idea to break through the wall.
All he needed was self-confidence.
– Meirir, Dyke, your time to shine.
【――……―#$】
– I said shut up already!
Roar charged against the wall with all the strength his trembling muscles could muster.
【――……―#$】
And then he disappeared.

――――?
What happened?
I’m sure he was there a second ago.
…He used a skill, huh? I should’ve been more careful.
Who would’ve thought?
He actually made it through.
Or should I say, “He skipped through the barrier”?
He was the first one to ever do so.
And it was someone from this world.
Well, I was waiting for someone to do it eventually.
Still, an unexpected development for sure.
Interesting.
I was getting fed up with this world, but it looks like I can still have some fun with it.
