The Author's POV

Chapter 600

Clank!

A dull metallic sound reverberated throughout the air.

Kevin clenched his teeth and swung his sword with everything he had as he beat the white core in front of him.

Though his mind was a mess at the moment, he continued to strike with everything he had as he realized that the situation was serious.

'Things don't make sense. Why is Ren the only one that is remembering his memories of each regression while I don't?'

Clank!

He struck the white core with his sword once more.

'There is definitely something that I'm missing, and I feel like I'll get my answer right after destroying this core and finishing the mission.'

Clank!

Kevin had an inkling that the next synchronization would make things much clearer for him, though it was only a gut feeling at the moment.

He just knew.

"Let me help."

Beside him, Emma took out her short swords and similarly started to hack at the white orb.

Clank!

Hitting the white core, the sound it emitted was a lot crispier than his as it rang in the air for a longer period of time.

"Put more force into it."."

Kevin murmured while he took a glance at Emma who took a couple of steps back as a result of the recoil from the first attack.

"...It's a lot tougher than I anticipated."

She murmured in embarrassment before returning to Kevin and hacking at the white core with her shortswords.

Cra...Crack.

While the two continued to attack the core, it wasn't long before fine miniature crevices and cracks started to form around it.

"We're almost there."

Emma's eyes lit up when she saw cracks appear on the core. The two of them had been at it for more than ten minutes, and thus she was rightfully excited.

The core or whatever the thing was, it was extremely durable. More than they had originally anticipated.

"Yes. We're almost there."

Nodding his head, Kevin continued to slash with all of his power. He never lost focus once.

With each passing second, the sense of doom engulfing his body became more intense, prompting him to attack with even more force.

The cracks on the core only served to make him want to attack it at an even faster speed.

Ba…Thump! Ba…Thump!

The sound of his heartbeat accompanied the sound of his sword smashing against the core.

He could feel it and hear it inside of his mind.

With each second that passed, the faster his heart sped up and the more anxiety Kevin felt.

'…He's coming.'

That was because he knew.

He knew that death itself was coming.

Unless he did something to the core now, the only thing that would await him was certain death in the future.

Cra..Crack!

More and more cracks began to appear on the core while he and Emma continued to hack at the core, and the more hurried their breathing became.

"We're almost there."

"Just a bit more..."
