Well now, I was feeling that I was nothing but a crafted doll in front of a wild beast, tearing me limb from limb while skinning me alive.
Surely this was how I felt back then, but surely the reality wasn't any better than this; the pain of broken ribs and swollen muscles was getting to my head, as Antak surely was a true beast. Whenever he got excited, he just got exponentially powerful and ruthless.
But I knew one thing for sure: if I kept hanging around him, then surely I wouldn't be able to ever escape this stupid loop, so it was time to use this bastard's insanity against this dumb loop.
So while spitting the blood, I rushed towards the path, and seeing me leave, he also started following me, but now I had a clear idea about what I had to do; it wasn't to fight him or subdue him.
But rather, I had to use his force to bring destruction to this stupid loop, but it wasn't even looking easy because the antak wasn't a child who could be easily used in such a game, and after being engulfed by his bloodlust, I wasn't even sure that he would even cooperate with me, so on the brink of death, my evading journey started.
The first attack was soul-shattering, and despite evading it, I could clearly feel the intensity, which was making my instincts scream in terror, so I had nothing but my courage with me and used Vardhan as a human shield for deflecting direct hits.
The moment Antak's first attack landed at the nearby wall, screams started to echo in the entire surroundings. Hearing this scream was pretty relieving and gave me comfort, but my body didn't have the privilege to enjoy these screams because of a single slip-up in my evasions, and I would be at the place where even death won't ever find me.
Soon seeing his attacks not working, the antak started getting frustrated, and it was grave news for me, like I was giving a red signal to a bull.
But I could feel that the loop was barely even intact; only one fierce and decisive blow could end it entirely.
But my condition wasn't any different from this loop; despite avoiding the attacks, my body was at its limit, where I couldn't even feel my body anymore, and Vardhan had some serious cracks on it.
So now I was feeling like betting on my life, whether I would be surviving his attacks or the loop, but this nasty antak bastard had no regret of putting me in such a state while I was wishing Kid was here so that I could save my ass from every creep.
But after coming to this stupid cursed place, I didn't even feel his energy, so it must be some kind of creepy paranormal stuff that must be holding his ass from us.
But as I was hoping for such things, I heard this creep murmuring a few words: The first stage curse: 'jioga natsu!'
Hearing it, my eyes turned wide because I was in no condition to fucking tolerate any sort of curse; this creep was literally using a curse on me, as if I didn't ever pamper his ass after kicking him out, BASTARD!
But it was seriously more than enough to make me lose hope of survival, and just as I was about to serve myself as a buffet to him, I heard a voice: 'Brat, see? That's why you shouldn't jump out from moving vehicle!'
Hearing these words, I looked above and saw my lovely car, which fell on this nasty bastard, crushing him below it. Seeing my survival in front of me, I was looking more like a helpless heroine from old movies than being called a protagonist.
Bona, with a flick of his finger, teleported me into the car, where Imu and Nona were still present. Seeing my condition, both of them could understand the graveness of the situation, so without wasting time, Imu started creating some strange symbols on my forehead while Nona helped her.
As for Antak, just as he was about to stand up, bona again drove the car upside and spoke: 'Senior, finish this quickly, or you might left behind like a little kid!' Hearing it, Antak somewhat came to his senses, but it was still too early to let him in the car, so it just flew to some height while he started destroying everything in its path in his rage and bloodlust.
So now we all could enjoy the screams of many people, and I could finally rest while enjoying such painful screams.
While Antak was busy destroying this stupid cursed place, I felt that the divine energy of Imu and Nona was unable to properly heal me because of this stupid place, so I now only had two options: the first one was to ask Bona to create an opening for us, or the second was to let that creep out.
The demon bastard who only helps me in most grave situations, but this was the least favorable thing that I wanted to do, so I looked at Bona, who was thinking about something, and spoke: 'Hey, why don't you just end this stupid curse only now? why drag this shit?'
Hearing my words, he looked at me in the same indifferent manner and spoke with a deep tone: 'Nope, this curse is way too strange to find loopholes. Despite defeating more than half of the pairs, this thing is still holding itself together, so that means something other than those pairs are controlling this thing and i can't just recklessly use my energy before knowing the proper situation!'
Hearing his words, I sighed and began to rest, as this was the only thing I could do right now, or I would be the one who would be crawling out of hell for revenge, but this place was really stinging with creepiness; every shadow seemed alive, and every scene felt like a monster.
