The figure stood in front of the two dumbfounded teenagers and raised its black scythe.

Only the sound of wind could be heard as the blade swung through the young man, who did not have time to react to it.

It [swung through] in a different sense than what he expected.

“…It’s a shadow?”

At least, it didn’t have a physical form.

After the scythe swung down, the shadow disappeared as if it had melted, leaving Svin and Flat alone in the forest.
