Chapter 72: Let Go (1)

Gin let out a groan as Luna tended to his wound While looking at his slightly opened eyes, I watched as he gritted his teeth and his breaths got heavier eachout

”Even just for a single day, Captain Let your body rest for today,” Luna told hi of Luna's hand as she spoke, this was the first time she saw Gin with severe injuries like this

Suddenly standing, I told the this, Luna twisted her head toI parted the creeping vines ahead of reeted by the cold forest breeze

It was Gin who brought us to this place, it was about a kilometer away from the place where Luna and I slept previously It's a cave-like space between dense trees and two large stones in where Gin rested the whole night before weand heaved out a sigh The ht inside an illusion—the scenes back that ain Even now, I still can't settle ht that Luna wasn't by my side when I woke up but the truth was that I was the one who left her The deceiver from Kimmye had put ht I woke up inside it around dawn, though, and then walked along the forest without knowing the sitch ht in the dark But the roup were all an illusion

I walked endlessly inside the forest My mind ake but it was in another reality, in another world Until the illusion came to its peak(?) Luna said that deceiver are prone to people like me People with unsettled eroup… Gin…

Luna was right I almost stayed In the midst of the illusion, I doubted the situation a lot of times I saw the flaw in the deceiver's technique But I al I already reached the real Gin

The deceiver didn't expect that the process would take a long tio the sa me to stay He used all of my important memories, but he certainly didn't expect that it will take me to the place where our Captain was located Gin felt our arrival and he finished all that must end

It took me hours before I extractedall that had happened within it, but if there's one thing that sht left , the sadness of having so so perfect that just shuttered, the unfairness of having to wake up and go through it all again It's like waking up frohthed and stood fro at Gin from a few meters away from me Almost an entire day had passed since we met but his condition was yet to improve At first, I didn't notice, how frail he was, how he almost can't stand due to his numerous wounds

He had deep wounds that caht, but also from his own ability Some wounds were even untended and wasn't at least taken notice for several days Luna said that Gin's body was al his body I know him Gin knows his limit I know that he will stop when needed… But Gin used as left of his strength to save me And thus the consequence

I took a deep breath This is not what supposed to happen This is not inaround the area I still need to focus

Several days have passed and we didn't have any single clue on as happening in the arena We've passed the one week ames only lasted for a week

We were only few kiloes are seen Those will be activated when the countdown starts and during this ti participants in the arena will surely head toward that place Wherever Ethan, Cain and Victoria ht be, they will definitely head toward that pace too I just hope that they've met, already with each other's company

This is the phase where lesser is fatal We're all heading to the sa whoever we encounter Every point has becoathered points will be the sure target It will be known as to which group was leading when the countdown starts and every other group will not let the leading one to secure its hold because it will surely be the end of the game when that happens

Game over A bitter smile flashed ame will end

But now, Gin and Luna needed ether but we're in a vulnerable position due to the previous attack Even Luna needed to rest We could not afford another attack Not yet We needed time to recover Especially Gin We needed to be careful and to distance ourselves from movements that can lead to our location
