Sebas - Killing Intent

Climb pointed the sword at Sebas’s eyes, and Sebas stared at him.

“Okay, here I go. Do your best to stay conscious.”

And the next moment...

...it was almost like blades of ice had shot out from him in every direction.

Climb had no words.

What was really swirling around Sebas was a killing intent.

A thick, dark presence surged over Climb like a wave, almost enough to crush his heart at that moment. He thought he heard a scream like someone’s soul being broken. It could have come from close by or far away, or it could have spurted out of his own mouth.

Tossed on the murderous black torrent, Climb felt his consciousness beginning to white out. There was so much fear that his mind was trying to let go of consciousness to avoid it.

“...Is this how much of a ‘man’ you are? I’m just getting warmed up.”

“...You’re lucky you didn’t die of shock. It happens sometimes. People become convinced they will actually die and give up on life.”
