"A choice?"
He asked but no answer was given to him.
The Reaper slowly approaches him.
He tightens his grip on the sword and then he felt a familiar sensation on his body.
"Isn't this? The magic similar on that world?"
He tried chanting words but nothing happened.
"Chanting worked before but why isn't it working!"
The Goddess looked intently
Lance looked above, there was Matsuda already awake.
Matsuda looked afraid.
While looking at him Lance began thinking
(The choice, is it something connected to him?)
(If I'm given a choice is it my choice if I want him to live or be completely-)
The Grim began rampaging leaving him no time to process his thoughts.
It gave off continues strikes with it's sharp claws.
And, Lance tries to fall back while defending himself.
"Tch, You stinky bastard!"
Lance began focusing on chanting magic
But chanting still doesn't work
The Grim tries to catch him and every second it's smell gets worse.
A minute has passed.
Lance head starts to get hurt because of the smell.
"Tch! Why isn't it working..."
(But I must save him! Save! Save?)
And at that moment
He thought of medicines, herbs and health.
His head soothens a little.
(Did my headache just got better?)
(Am I starting to get used to this smell or did I just? Used the magic?)
The Grim's eye turned red, it tried to perform a chant.
It's saying words that can't be understood.
Meanwhile,
Matsuda is scared that Lance might lose.
The Grim is halfway on finishing it's incantation
But, Lance is frozen in place while looking at the Scythe forming at it's hand.
Matsuda was also bewildered by it but then He noticed lance being unable to do something.
He shouted
"Lance! What are you doing! Fight!"
Lance got back to his senses when he hear Matsuda
"Oh haha right.." Lance said as he picked up the sword on the ground.
(If chanting doesn't work then what does?)
(My head has healed from the aches but Is this because of a chant?)
(Then what was that)
As he thinks of this, the scythe of the grim is almost at the end of it's form.
Matsuda shouts again
"Lance! What are you doing!"
"Ugh I'm thinking! Don't interrupt me for now" He shouts back
"You must hurry up you dummy!"
"What Dummy!? Ugh jeez shut up."
When the noice stopped, it was extremely silent.
A silent that were creepy.
The fog turned purple.
Lance came back to his thoughts
(Chant... Defeat this grim)
(Enhance!)
The smoke slowly engulfs the ground
(Lance! Hurry up!)
The Grim came out of the smoke
It was fast and was hiding it's scythe on the back
Lance got astonished and was too slow to react.
Yet, he was right in time to deflect it and avoid serious damage
But,
He was knocked back to the ground.
There was a scratch on his head and was deep enough for blood to come out .
He touched it and seeing it made him pissed off.
Seeing the blood made him remember a past memory
A memory from his childhood when he was getting treated by his mother after he got tripped.
(Huh? Who's that?)
A memory that was blurry at first but when It clears up.
It happened.
Green particles flowed from his hand
And then his wound has healed
(Oh man... It was so simple.)
(Haha... But, Thank you Mom.)
He got his hope back and was feeling happiness but at the same time he wants to cry.
As he run, he didn't notice that he is already crying. He shouted
"Grim! It's now my time to shine!"
When he noticed that he has some tears in his face, he immediately wiped it off. He then laughed.
And when he smiled his eyes were serious as they looked at the Grim Reaper.
(With this overflowing happiness, he began his imagination.)
"Grim! I Will win again, This time."
