Artorias sighed in relief, sitting on the floor, feeling relieved his foe was vanquished.
He had once more surpassed his limits.
"What was that? Who was he…? The Original Nightmare Curse? Could that be… the speculated origin of all Nightmares? Is such a being attacking us right now? But why was he talking like he knew me? This is… beyond bizarre. Especially because… it feels like I've fought that thing more than once, and it is as if today, it's the first time I actually won."
Artorias was shocked by what he was beginning to discover: the truth of the world, the origin of the Nightmares, and even of the lost timelines reset by humanity's last savior.
Those who survived until now, such as him and other students, those who possessed the strongest Fate, were finally here, in the very last loop.
And it was time for them to seize their own Fate and no longer let this monster decide for them if they got to live or not.
