The scattered red pixels gathered once again.
The entire battlefield trembled.
Khushi stepped back slowly.
"…It's reforming again?"
The pixels fused together—
Creating an even larger Goblin King.
Two massive swords appeared in its hands.
Kay's eyes narrowed.
"…This is dangerous."
The Goblin King roared.
And attacked instantly.
BOOM!
Kay pushed Khushi backward.
"Stay back!"
CLANG!
He blocked the first sword strike—
But the second blade slashed across his chest.
SHHK!
Pixelated blood scattered through the air.
HP: 78 → 63
Kay gritted his teeth.
The Goblin King attacked again—
But suddenly—
SHOOT!
Khushi's arrow pierced the monster's arm.
The Goblin King growled in pain.
Its focus shifted for one second.
That was enough.
Kay jumped directly toward its neck.
SLASH!
But—
CLANG!
The second sword blocked Kay's attack midair.
The Goblin King roared furiously.
Then both swords began attacking relentlessly.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Kay defended continuously—
But slowly…
He was being overwhelmed.
Khushi fired multiple plasma arrows.
SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT!
But this time—
Nothing happened.
"…What?!"
The Goblin King ignored the attacks completely.
Khushi's expression changed.
No…
At this rate… Kay will lose.
She tightened her grip.
"…Then I'll use that skill."
A special arrow appeared in her hand.
Wrapped in flames.
"Flame Arrow!"
FWOOOSH!
The blazing arrow flew forward—
And exploded against the Goblin King's arm.
BOOM!
One of the giant swords fell from its hand.
The monster screamed in rage.
Then—
SLASH!
Its remaining sword struck Kay across the chest.
Kay crashed onto the ground.
HP: 40
The Goblin King turned toward Khushi.
Its killing intent intensified.
Khushi stepped back nervously.
The Goblin King attacked again—
But suddenly—
CLANG!
Kay stood back up.
Blocking the attack.
The Goblin King roared and unleashed another strike.
Then another.
And another.
SLASH! SLASH!
Pixelated blood spilled from Kay's body.
The Goblin King grabbed him—
And hurled him against a wall.
BOOM!
HP: 20
Kay coughed heavily.
The Goblin King slowly walked toward Khushi.
Khushi fired arrows desperately—
But they barely slowed it down.
Then—
SLASH!
A cut across her shoulder.
SLASH!
Another across her side.
Her pixelated blood scattered onto the floor.
Khushi screamed in pain.
HP dropping rapidly.
Kay watched from the wall helplessly.
"…Stop…"
The Goblin King kicked Khushi violently across the ground.
BOOM!
HP: 10
Kay's eyes widened.
"STOP!"
Silence.
Then—
The Gemini Glitch Watch began glowing.
Neon Blue.
Dark Black.
Energy exploded around Kay.
His hair turned neon blue.
His eyes glitched with bright light.
Blue lines spread across the edges of his jacket.
Khushi looked at him weakly.
"…Kay…?"
PHANTOM DASH.
Kay vanished.
And instantly appeared in front of Khushi.
CLANG!
Both Goblin swords were blocked by a single blade.
The Goblin King froze.
Kay slowly looked toward Khushi.
She was barely conscious.
His expression darkened.
He pushed the Goblin King backward violently.
"This girl…"
"…is under my protection."
He pointed his sword forward.
"And touching her…"
"…means touching my sword."
A cold aura filled the battlefield.
"And nobody touches my sword…"
"…and survives."
The Goblin King laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"Then I'll eat her in front of you first!"
"And after that…"
"…I'll kill you."
"You cannot defeat me."
"I will simply regenerate again!"
Kay's glowing eyes sharpened.
"…Then I won't defeat you."
The Goblin King paused.
Kay slowly raised his watch.
"I'll rewrite you."
BOOM!
The fight exploded again.
This time—
Kay moved over ten times faster.
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
The Goblin King struggled to block the attacks.
Kay's body blurred constantly.
PHANTOM DASH.
Again.
And again.
And again.
The Goblin King tried counterattacking—
But Kay disappeared every time.
Then suddenly—
GRAB!
The Goblin King caught Kay's sword.
"Hah! Got you!"
It threw Kay across the battlefield.
BOOM!
Kay slid across the ground.
Then slowly stood up.
"…Perfect."
He dismissed his sword.
And began typing glowing code into the Gemini Glitch Watch.
The Goblin King charged forward laughing.
"You abandoned your weapon?!"
Kay jumped toward it empty-handed.
The Goblin King raised its sword to kill him—
But suddenly—
Binary numbers exploded around Kay's hands.
101010101
Pixels fused together.
A new weapon formed.
A massive upgraded sword.
Larger than before.
Surrounded by four glowing blue energy rays.
The Goblin King's eyes widened.
"…Impossible."
Kay gripped the weapon tightly.
Then swung once.
BOOOOM!
Both Goblin swords shattered instantly.
The battlefield shook violently.
Kay pointed the blade forward.
"Hundred…"
"…in one minute."
PHANTOM DASH.
For one minute—
Only blue flashes could be seen.
SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH!
100 cuts appeared across the Goblin King's body.
The monster froze.
Kay appeared directly in front of it.
And drove the massive sword through its chest.
CRACK.
The Goblin King shattered into pixels.
Silence filled the battlefield.
Kay immediately rushed toward Khushi.
He pulled out a glowing chewing gum.
"Health recovery item."
Khushi weakly chewed it.
Her HP slowly increased.
She finally opened her eyes.
But then—
"…Kay."
The red pixels were moving again.
Reforming.
Kay looked back calmly.
The pixels gathered—
But this time…
Only a tiny goblin the size of a hand appeared.
Kay crushed it under his foot instantly.
CRUNCH.
He looked toward Khushi.
"I rewrote its regeneration skill."
"Every time it dies…"
"…it becomes smaller."
Khushi stared at him silently.
Then—
Kay's glowing form disappeared.
His hair returned to normal.
The Rewrite Mode ended.
His body swayed.
And he collapsed.
"Kay!"
---
A while later—
Kay slowly opened his eyes.
"…This pillow is surprisingly soft…"
Khushi's face immediately turned red.
"…Pillow?"
Kay blinked.
Then realized—
His head was resting on Khushi's lap.
Khushi crossed her arms proudly.
"So you sleep well on my lap, huh?"
"You can sleep like this every day if you want."
Kay instantly sat up.
"T-That's not what I meant!"
"I was just comparing it to a pillow!"
Khushi giggled softly.
Then slowly leaned closer toward his face.
Kay froze.
"…Khushi?"
