I was struck by Xir's ultimate magic—one of the deadliest of all: [Death Count]. It was a curse unlike any other, one that marked the countdown to oblivion. I had only ten seconds left to live.
Ten seconds to defeat Xir. Ten seconds to survive. No time for fear.
"Stay calm, Envi... I'll defeat him. Ten seconds is more than enough." I whispered this resolve in my mind, hoping Envi could hear me wherever she was watching from.
Then, without warning, a glowing red notification flashed before my eyes:
[DEATH COUNT HAS BEGUN!!!][10 Seconds Until Absolute Death]
I didn't waste a single heartbeat. I activated one of my most powerful speed-enhancing techniques—[Kasoseki 2X], doubling my velocity instantly. Several other buffs I had accumulated surged through me, layering on invisibility at high speeds. To Xir, I was already a blur—if he could even see me at all.
In the blink of an eye, I appeared behind him.
Slash!
