The Gap Between The Worlds (English Version)

17-The Blood Moon

(Anshul's perspective)

The moonlight barely illuminated the snow-covered path as he moved forward on that cold, lonely night. The creak of my boots echoed in the stillness, and my breath condensed in the cold air. It wasn't my best time to reflect, but life has a funny way of making us question our choices.

The cold, that damned cold, seeped into my bones and made me curse every step I took. As I moved forward, the shadows of my past mixed with the snowfall, reminding me why it all started. A revenge that burned inside me like a ravenous fire. But in the midst of the storm, something changed.

Selene. His name resonated in my mind like a soft melody. When had it stopped being just a means to achieve my goal? She was always there, by my side, enduring the freezing storm with me. My thoughts turned to her as the snow fell silently.

"Should we continue on this path, Selene?" I murmured into the chilly air, as if the wind could carry my words to her, wherever she was. At that moment, revenge began to lose its luster, and the warmth of his presence became more valuable than anything else.

Footprints in the snow stretched behind me, marking the path we had traveled together. The decisions we made, the battles we faced, it was all etched on that white canvas. Selene and I were like two souls lost in the storm, searching for answers, but maybe, just maybe, the answer was in leaving the darkness behind and embracing the light that manifested in our union.

So, as the snow continued to fall, freezing time around us, I set out to discover if this path was meant to be just a path of revenge or if it could be transformed into something more, something that would transcend the cold of the night and warm our hearts. 

While I was lost in my thoughts I arrived at the western entrance.

So this is the entrance they assigned me, I couldn't see anything but I knew that the guards were hidden.

The real problem is that my power is limited at night, if I took a single step I wouldn't be able to defend myself from so many attacks.

Out of nowhere a red light shot into the sky and began to change the color of the Moon... So that's what he was referring to.

Well it's time to move on, I just have to do what I always do, cut everything until I get to where I want, I will have to use almost all my energy for this situation.

I took a step and several arrows headed towards me, I made a big cut in the air and damaged them all quickly, but they didn't stop shooting. I ran towards the middle of the road covering myself, some arrows managed to hurt me while I was running, when I was about to reach the halfway point I raised my hand and created an incredibly strong glow.

The archers couldn't see in my direction because of the sun glare effect that my shine has, I took advantage of this moment and took my axe, it was going to be the first time I would do something like this. I concentrated almost all my energy and power, began to channel it on my axe, I had to make a clean cut and in a single movement, I closed my eyes and concentrated, when I felt that I was about to overflow I released all the energy around me towards the forest with a big cut.

Many of the trees around me several kilometers away were cut in half, the area was now clear, I hope I killed most of the archers, this wouldn't be a problem if it were daytime...

When I was about to take a step I almost fainted, I had to kneel for a moment to try to calm myself down, I had released almost all my power and energy in a single movement in that "Solar Cut", I tried to breathe to calm down, but it was difficult for me to breathe. Some warriors appeared out of nowhere and headed to attack me.

I barely had time to get up and started fighting them, even though I was too tired I could last a little, the attacks of these warriors have a lot of coordination and are quite strong, it is incredible that they are just simple warriors.
