That Bastard

Juny, who was just getting ready for the upcoming Troop Meeting, froze.

Her eyes moved to her left arm, squinting.

Her arm was gone.

Or, to be clearer, it was unable to hold its shape.

It shifted and changed.

But that was not the only body part.

As a Body Double, every time her Main Body sustained damage, the Body Double would glitch and become chaotic until it would eventually disperse.

Juny looked down at her torso and sighed.

If this went on for any longer, she would be unable to keep her body together using her spirituality.

Meaning she would disappear for good.

Juny placed her palms on the table before coming to a freeze.

The table's surface cracked as the whole Pocket Dimension rocked.

Juny instantly stood up, alarmed.

She looked around, trying to connect Self Telepathy along the way.

After failing twice, a loud explosion rippled through the space as something broke into the Pocket Dimension.

It was a forcefully opened portal, shattering the Pocket Dimension like glass.

Juny's eyes narrowed as the crack disappeared as soon as it was created.

Her gaze then moved to the bloody mess which just flew in.

She was in utter disbelief to see her Main Body scrambled on the galaxy-like floor.

She moved closer, feeling the subtle shift of the elements in the air.

But she soon came to a pause, seeing that her Main Body was ignoring her.

The Body Double watched as Juny's Main Body stared at her own, rotting arm.

The rot and death spread from her hand to her elbow and continued towards her shoulder.

With such speed, it wouldn't take long before it would reach Juny's torso.

Body Double's eye twitched as her Main Body solidified a Violet-black, flaming sword.

The Body Double had only a second to get a bad feeling before Juny cut her arm off without hesitation.

The Body Double's jaw dropped as her own left arm completely disappeared.

She didn't feel any pain from it, just a bit of discomfort, but that couldn't be the case for the Main Body.

Oblivious to the Body Double's stare, Juny exhaled.

She stared at her severed arm which was already nothing but skin and bones.

Her eyes then moved to the bleeding wound right beneath her left shoulder.

Quickly, Juny drew a Recovery Rune, watching as her hand slowly began to regenerate.

It was a terrifyingly slow speed.

Juny was quite sure that if left like this, it would leave a scar.

She sighed deeply, both in relief and exhaustion.

'I managed to get away in time. Who would've guessed that bastard would put up a Rule against opening Pocket Dimensions?'

Just as she had that thought, her eyes finally registered the bewildered Body Double and the floating, silent balls of light.
