Dozens of Void Beasts stood before Rin.
Their red eyes glowed in the darkness.
Every single one of them was focused on him.
The prey… was him.
Rin's heart pounded violently.
[SURVIVAL CHANCE: 3%]
"Only… 3%…"
he muttered.
This wasn't just a battle.
It was a death sentence.
But—
He didn't step back.
Rin tightened his grip on the sword.
"If I'm going to die… then I'll fight until the end…"
Suddenly—
All the Void Beasts moved at once.
The ground shook violently.
They charged straight at him.
"Now!"
Rin threw himself to the side with all his strength.
The first attack missed him—
But the second…
Cut across his arm.
SLASH!
Blood spilled out.
"Ahh…!"
Rin fell to the ground, but quickly stood back up.
"I can't stop…"
Another Void Beast rushed toward him—
Rin activated his skill.
[BASIC SWORD MASTERY ACTIVATED]
His movements became faster.
He stepped forward—
And delivered a sharp strike.
SLASH!
Another Void Beast collapsed to the ground.
[ENEMY DEFEATED]
[EXP +50]
But this time—
There was no relief.
Because the rest were still alive.
And now—
They were even more furious.
Rin was completely surrounded.
"This… won't end…"
His breathing grew heavy.
His body weakened.
Blood continued to flow.
[WARNING: HP CRITICAL]
Rin staggered.
"Is this… the end…?"
A larger Void Beast stepped forward—
Stronger than the rest.
Its eyes glowed with an eerie light.
Rin tried to raise his sword—
But his hand trembled.
The Void Beast attacked—
And this time—
Rin couldn't dodge.
BOOM!
He was slammed to the ground.
His vision blurred.
"Did I… lose…?"
At that moment—
The system screen flashed violently
[HIDDEN CONDITION MET]
[UNIQUE SKILL UNLOCKING…]
Rin's eyes slowly opened.
"What… is this…?"
A strange power began to surge from his body.
The air froze.
Even the Void Beasts stopped for a moment.
And then—
The system's voice echoed:
[SKILL: ??? ACTIVATED]
