Nathan's body fell to the ground lifeless. Nathan felt like he lost control over his body. No matter what he tried to do, even a single finger refused to move. It was as if he was stuck inside a corpse.
He could feel the sadness, anger, despair, exhaustion, and fear. It plunged directly into his heart, clouding his mind.
However, it all stopped when the last sentence was spoken.
"Thank you… Teacher, for granting my wish. Sorry, I can't fight until the end."
That last voice was filled with relief. How could one feel such a thing? What did one experience to make his sadness turn to joy after getting killed? What fueled his anger for it to disappear without a trace as though it was all over?
What caused his despair for it to vanish without overcoming it? How exhausted he was that death became his salvation? And… who inflicted that fear for it to feel as though it was a burden, not a challenge?
"Haaa!" Nathan gasped for air as he suddenly got the control of his body back.
