Hey, author here, sorry for the long wait, decided to take a bit of a break from porting. With NB having officially ended in fanfiction.net, I'll have more time spent on porting from now on.


I used my sword to block another wave of arrows.

Mimicking what I saw Dia do, I swung them back at the Lunarians, taking down multiple Lunarians.

Another relentless wave of arrows came and went.

"Phos! Are you okay in there?!"

No response from the box.

"Phos!"

I narrowly dodged a stray arrow, which bounced off the gold box like it was rubber.

Damn, I can't do much when I'm supposed to play the defensive instead of the offensive. So little room for manoeuvre...

Blocking yet another wave of arrows, I felt my sword begin to significantly crack.

I can't keep this up. If only I had those daggers with me right now...

"Mmmph!"

That came from inside the box.

I swiftly turned around.

"Phos! Can you hear m-"

I felt something go through my chest from behind, the impact breaking off my limbs.

Looking down, I could clearly see the arrow protrude out of my chest.

Before I could react, I felt another arrow go through my neck.

I saw my own torso as my head was thrown leftwards, before hitting the ground and rolling for a bit.

Everything started to feel light.

So this is what it feels like to be broken...

-----------------------

I couldn't move while the Lunarians came down.

I couldn't move while they collected the parts of me and Antarc (I could hear them).

I couldn't move when one of them picked my head up and placed it into a basket.

I couldn't do anything while I was being carried to the Lunarian ship.

I was on the brink of passing out, yet somehow I haven't lost consciousness yet.

Is this the end of me?

Is everything that happened in this world going to end here?

Phos...

I'm scared...

Please... help me.

Please...

I felt my basket drop.

My head fell out and faced where Phos would be.

All I saw...

... was Phos emerging from a golden ball that was opening like a flower, looking very pissed.

Then everything finally blacked out.

----------------------

White room.

Well, not really a "room".

White world then?

Yep, white world.

I looked around. Absolutely nothing.
