The Geometry of Death and the Echo of Resonance
The knight did not move.(SSSSSSSSSSSSHH!!!)
His obsidian armor remained anchored to the marble floor like an eternal monolith, but his serrated sword became a blur of dark violence.
(SH-SH-SH-VROOOOM!!!)
With a series of short movements, almost lazy but charged with seismic power, the guardian began to unleash bursts of transverse slashes.
"!!"
But those slashes were not simple energy projections; they were rifts of void imbued with inextinguishable black flames...
(KRA-SHHHH! FROOSH-ZAK! FROOSH-ZAK!)
Creating gusts that flew with an erratic cadence, expanding in the air like cold-fire guillotines that devoured the light in their path, leaving behind a trail of miasma that hissed upon contact with the air.
(I perceive it...!)
In that situation Shija, trapped in his three-year-old body, felt the survival instinct of a thousand battles awaken, opting for evasive maneuvers.
(FSSSSSSSSSSSSHHH!!!)
His eyes, now imbued with an emerald glow, did not look at the trajectory of the slashes, but rather at the energy flow—or rather, the lack of it—that they left behind as they moved through the air.
(ZIP... SWISH... DASH!!!)
Thanks to this, the first slash passed within millimeters of his cheek, cutting a lock of hair that disintegrated before touching the ground as he stepped aside to evade the direct impact.
(VHOOOM! VHOOOM! KRA-FROOSH! KRA-FROOSH!)
Immediately after, Shija leaned back at an impossible angle, his infant body moving with the grace of a leaf carried by a storm.
(A single blow is all it takes to erase me...!)
There was no wasted movement.
(If that's the case... then...!)
In a dynamic and frenetic sequence, Shija began his evasive dance.
(SSSS-KRRRRR!!)
He spun on his own axis to let a vertical gust split the floor right beside him, using the shockwave to propel himself into a lateral leap.
(I won't let him land a hit!!)
While mid-air, three crossed slashes in the shape of a net sought to trap him; however, Shija tucked his limbs, passing through the only safe gap in the geometry of death, rotating like a spinning top of emerald energy.
(KRA-SHHH-KRA-SHHH!!!)
Every time the black fire grazed his skin, Shija's tattoos emitted a pulse of light as a warning.
{Get away!!}
Unfortunately, seeing the situation, the knight increased his speed, launching gusts with his right hand while the shield in his left acted as a gravitational anchor, warping the trajectories to make them harder to predict.
(VROOOO-PUM!!!)
Fortunately, at the last instant, following the doll's warning, Shija corrected his stance, landing on a single hand and propelling himself upward again as a low-grazing slash turned the marble beneath his feet into a sea of flames.
(He changed his pattern!!)
His movements were a choreography of pure perception: a step to the left, a shoulder roll, a controlled fall.
(He’s not letting me go on the offensive!)
Shija was reading every attack and predicting the exact moment to evade before the slash could connect...
"Dodging isn't enough!"
But such a strategy was not viable in his current state, as he felt his lungs burning from the effort of maintaining the pace.
"If I don't break his stance, he will eventually close off all my escape routes."
The air was freezing in Shija's lungs...
(Yet, I'm getting more and more used to his attack speed!)
Despite that, he kept his mind calm, analyzing every attack to the limit.
(I can win!!)
But just when he thought he had decoded the pattern of the gusts, reality distorted.
(HUM... THUMP!!!)
The knight, who only a moment ago seemed like an immovable statue, executed a thrust so explosive and silent that his metallic mass vanished from sight, only to materialize, in a fraction of a second, right in front of the boy.
"¡¿?!"
It was then that the gears of Shija's mind, accelerated by the flow and concentration of combat, clicked with terrifying clarity.
(Damn it... the slashes... they weren't meant to kill me!)
He realized too late that every evaded gust, every acrobatic spin he had performed, had been calculated by the guardian.
(This thing... It was guiding me!)
The knight wasn't missing; he was herding Shija toward that exact spot, narrowing his escape options until he was in a position where his feet had no purchase and his guard was wide open.
(Damn it...!!)
Realizing it all too late, Shija witnessed in a painfully slow fraction of a second as the serrated sword, shrouded in black flames, began its final descent toward the boy's neck, in an absolute decapitation trajectory that left no room for error.
(SHHHH-IIIIIII-VUT!!!)
However, just as the edge was millimeters from his skin...
{I’ve got you!}
And just as he could feel the cold of death sucking the warmth from his throat, a sharp, dry sound sliced through the cavern’s tension.
(WHIP-CRACK!!!!)
In that critical situation, one of the ribbons from the doll's dress, imbued with an elastic and vibrant energy, lashed out like a whip from the shadows of the ceiling.
{Are you okay?!}
The loop coiled around Shija’s waist and, with a violent and precise yank, tore him from the slash’s path just as the sword sliced through the air where his head had been a heartbeat before.
(BOOOOM!!!)
As a result, the knight’s blow struck the floor, causing the marble to explode in a shockwave of miasma.
"Don't stop for that... Focus!!"
However, the guardian did not lose his rhythm.
(CLANG!!!)
Without even turning his face, as if he possessed eyes in every inch of his armor, he raised his tower shield toward a blind spot behind his back, blocking another stalactite—fired with the force of a ballistic projectile by the doll—which shattered against the black metal.
{THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING!!}
On the other hand, the doll, hanging from the shadows above like a rag spider, had maintained absolute vigilance. Taking advantage of the knight ignoring her to focus on Shija, she had become the anchor keeping the boy alive.
"Gf... hah...!"
Somewhat irritated by his words, the doll "released" Shija toward the ground, letting him roll to a safe distance from the knight as he barely regained his balance, cold sweat drenching his back.
{And anyway... You should stop focusing all your attention on him...}
Immediately after, the doll, raising her arm while still maintaining a grumpy attitude, pointed a rag finger toward the crystalline pool they had emerged from.
{"Mom" never usually lets a grudge go...}
In response, as if reacting to those words, from the pool...
(GLU... GURGLE... SPLASH...!!!)
They began to emerge.
"¡¿?!"
Shija forced his mind to release the focus he had on the knight and expanded his Qi perception in a full circle; that was how he finally felt it: a multitude of cold, viscous, and soulless presences sprouting like an infection from the water.
"They are surrounding us."
From the depths of the pool, humanoid figures made of the same black, oily pitch began to crawl toward the shore.
{That’s right...}
They had no faces, only empty sockets and elongated limbs that left a trail of rot upon the white marble.
{That’s why I’ll ask you... What do we do...?}
They moved with an erratic gait, like broken puppets, but their numbers increased by the second.
"...."
Facing the situation, Shija gritted his teeth as he saw the shadows deploying along the flanks, cutting off their escape routes, and continued his evaluation.
(THWONG!!)
The obsidian knight, for his part, as if he had been waiting for their arrival, struck his shield once more.
{Trap upon trap... This looks bad!}
The sound was not just a challenge; it was a command.
(Both flanks are blocked... However, the most dangerous opponent, without a doubt... is that thing.)
In response, the pitch figures accelerated their advance, emitting a collective hiss that resonated with the same hatred Shija had felt in the abyss.
"... I'm sorry... But... can you take care of the ones behind us?"
The scene had become a deadly mousetrap: in front, an executioner wreathed in flames; behind, an approaching horde...
"I will face that thing... So please... take care of the ones in the back."
In response to Shija’s desperate request, the doll landed softly by his side, her silk threads floating around her like the legs of a spider ready to strike.
{It’s a good plan... However...}
But as she stood back-to-back with Shija, the doll took a deep breath...
"BUT I REFUSE!!"
And with an explosive shout, opening her mouth wide, she rejected the proposal.
"What? If we don't move, they’ll corner us!"
Upon hearing such a response, Shija blinked, confused, while keeping his guard up against the beings crawling from the pool.
{Don't worry... I have a better idea.}
Saying those words, before Shija could react, the silk threads that were part of the doll's body and dress extended unnaturally.
(Swoosh-swish-swish!!!)
As if they had a life of their own, they shot toward Shija’s body, wrapping him in a cocoon of luminous fibers that glowed with a monochromatic hue.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
Thrown off balance, Shija demanded an answer; however, the doll didn't respond with explanations, but with a command that shook the cavern’s foundations.
"Using what I inherited... and being the ultimate Power-Up... RESONANCE!!"
Her voice, now an amalgam of thousands of mystical frequencies, echoed from the depths of her core...
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!)
Unleashing a sudden burst of light.
