[Bump World] Erosion [Ruijin]

- Gray!Gray! ——

—Wait for me! ——

The voice burst out from the chest cavity, desperately, so the air was inevitably sucked in through the mouth.Obviously it exists to maintain the physiological function, but——

Throat...trachea...thorax...

It hurts.

I kept running, chasing, and shouting, but——

The figure that was drifting away in front of him still didn't look back, nor did he slow down a bit because of this.

The body is so heavy.

I really want to close my eyes.

so tired.

So tired.

It was as if some indescribable sharp thing was being dragged in the chest cavity, rubbing against the soft and fragile inside, stinging, burning, and continuous, making it unbearable.Jin felt that he was being completely torn from the inside by this terrible feeling that could not be relieved, and maybe he would eventually be torn apart...

not yet.

but…

out of breath.Or... I can't breathe anymore, it's—

Have you reached your limit?

Gray has been walking in front, just chasing himself, he can only chase and chase, and then he sees the figure of his older playmate with a broad knife on his back, becoming more and more in his sight. Farther away, smaller and smaller...

Jin was vaguely aware of this fact, but the implication made him avoid thinking about it altogether.

No.

not like this.

Don't want to be left behind.

To... catch up!

But what if you catch up?

Jin froze in place suddenly.

Ah...he remembered, this happened when he and Grey were young.At that time, I finally chased after him and held Ge Rui, preventing him from leaving.So, Gray told him:

——Go back, don't follow me anymore. ——

- Don't get in the way! ——

—I am different from idlers like you! ——

was completely pushed away.

was rejected outright.

Relevance was completely denied.

The figure of the other party gradually drifted away, but Jin's feet seemed to be stuck by an unknown object, making it difficult to move.

Gray can't refuse like this. Jin doesn't want to accept this fact at all. After a long time, he finally has a friend again, a friend who can play with him... Gray is so strong, it's okay to pamper yourself a little, right?

What happened in the past, what my sister ordered, was completely overwhelmed by pure and cruel desire at this moment.

When Jin chased his floating thoughts again, he lowered his head and found that he had walked on the ice surface at some point, and the ice had frozen his feet, and the crystal shards of ice had condensed out of thin air. Ankle up.Jin couldn't feel the cold or the pain, and vaguely realized that there seemed to be something ahead.

what is it then?

The heart is beating, beating faster and faster, as if there is an invisible pressure oppressing myself, this pressure does not come from the outside, but...

fear.

What are you afraid of?

This fear...is not entirely unknown.

Jin raised his head, the dazzling color, and the familiar figure in it.

- Gray! ——

Kim couldn't move.Ghost Fox wasn't here, and his body wasn't being force-forced by anyone stronger, but Jin was completely immobile.

because of fear.

This is not the first time I have seen Gray like this.

It's all... because of... myself...

Gray in the distance raised his head, the dark liquid stained his pure white hair, and the indescribably beautiful violet eyes met his own, and Jin couldn't see any emotion belonging to the other party.

violet……

The moment Jin realized this, the ice surface shattered, and the ice water flooded over his head in an instant, which was bitingly cold.

"Grey—!"

Jin suddenly opened his eyes, and in sight was the warm-colored cloth tent. He was wrapped in a soft and warm quilt, and his body was also very comfortable. It seemed to be a cushion made of folded multi-layered quilts.

Then the door of the tent was opened halfway, and his little boy squeezed into the tent sideways, and then tried to keep the cold wind out quickly.

He looked a little tired, but his figure was still tall and straight - Gray was always calm and restrained, perhaps only a little bit of discomfort could be seen from his slightly pale face.The purple eyes that were close to ice blue looked at him. Jin couldn't understand the emotion in it. When he's perfectly fine, he's a reassuring blue-purple.

Not violet.

Jin tried to move his body, and at this moment he realized that his whole body seemed to have been crushed by something. There were no external wounds, but the pain was severe.

But this didn't hinder anything, Jin suddenly propped up his body, because of his reckless movement, he hit the support behind him to support the tent, and his head hurt.

This still can't hinder anything.Kim stood up with all his might, then pounced on him.

"Gerry—! Gray—!"

When Ge Rui opened the door of the tent, he heard his little boy pounce on him while calling his name in a protracted voice. To hide the fact that he's still a little weak.Thinking that he was still carrying the air-conditioning that wasn't in the tent, Gray turned his body slightly, but as if this angered the other party, Jin bumped into him completely.

The force was so strong that it even caused Gray a little pain.The opponent's skin is very hot, perhaps because his body has long been soaked by the cold air of the ice lake. Gray felt that Jin's skin was so hot that he felt anxious and scalded. His overly urgent and demanding behavior made him I think gold is a bit...

disturbed.

It seemed to be saying silently——Gerry, don't push me away——

When Kim said casually, 'Gerry, you're my friend! ''Gerry, you should be gentle with your friends! ''Gerry, we will be invincible together', Grey could treat the past with indifference, because at that time, Jin was only habitually showing kindness that was as warm as a blazing sun.

But when he didn't say anything - that's when he really needed something.

So he gently hugged Jin back, "I'm fine, all the wounds have been healed with points."

"Yeah." He heard Jin answer softly, and the softness almost didn't look like Jin.

The abnormal state actually disappeared very quickly after getting the other party's response. Jin raised his head, and the initial daze and urgency were no longer in the clear pupils, "Gerry, what about my wound?"

"The points ranking system has been stopped, but the points can still be obtained and used," someone answered Gray before him, "Our second eldest has contributed his points to help you heal the wound,"

The door of the tent was opened wide, and the cold wind blew in, making Jin, who had been in a warm environment all this time, couldn't help curling up.Gray's eyes on the woman who loves to stir up trouble have never been friendly, so this time the other party ignored it as usual.

"Kelly! That's great! You're okay!"

Jin let go of Grey's hand, and walked a few steps towards the door of the tent. The climate on Dengglu planet was erratic, so the sudden cold was quickly adapted to Jin except for the initial coldness. Seeing another person standing a few steps away from the tent, joy jumped to the brows, "Zi Tang, I knew you were our friend! Everyone is fine, it's great!"

"Don't confuse me with you guys." Kelly cast a cold glance at Zitang Huan, "Besides, Jin, I bet you are the only one here who considers that betrayer a friend."

"Kelly, don't say that, Zitang was just confused by the ghost fox at first..." Jin tried to explain to Zitang Huan, but Zitang Huan lowered his head while meeting his gaze, staggering Jin's line of sight.

Jin's explanation sounded unconvincing without the support of the person concerned, so even Jin couldn't help hesitating for a while, and Kelly directly interrupted his unfinished words.

"Hmph, I don't care about the friends and games between you," she said indifferently, "Ice Lake is a good place to repair the Yuanli Armament, and I just happen to be here to repair the Xingyue Blade. Although this tent is insulated The effect of temperature, but it also cuts off the abundant Yuanli of the Ice Lake to a certain extent, don’t you try your Yuanli skills?”

"Kelly, why do you say that! We have experienced so much together, we defeated the ghost fox together, we have been friends for a long time!"

No one went along with him.

Jin wanted to say something else, but Gray interrupted him, repeating Kelly's finish line, "Jin, try your Yuanli skills."

"Huh? All right."

Jin spread his hands in front of his eyes, "Vector Arrow!"

The vector arrow appeared normally, and as the Yuanli skill was summoned, Jin felt as if his body was being washed away by an inexplicable force. After the disappearance, whether it was his body or his strength, Jin felt that he had reached the best condition.

"Hey! My vector arrow is completely fine! Gray, how is your fierce cut? And Zitang, has your little Sparta recovered?"

"I..." Asked by Jin suddenly, Zitang Huan shifted his eyes guiltily again, "My little Sparta has been repaired."

"The Yuanli Armament was damaged again without being fully repaired, and it will take longer to repair. Our second place in the competition is still buried in the ice," Kelly pointed to the tent not far away. On the ice surface, a green shadow can be vaguely seen, "However, this has nothing to do with me. My Xingyue Blade has been completely repaired, and I have to go!"

While saying this, Kelly has already summoned the Moonblade, relying on it to float in mid-air, "Bye!"

She threw the star dart at Zitang Huan, but she didn't aim at it.Zitang Huan staggered to dodge, Jin's attention was also attracted by him, and when he looked up again, Kelly had already flown far away.

"Zitang, don't take it to heart, Kelly has suffered so much from Ghost Fox, it's understandable to be a little angry..."

Jin stretched out his hand to pull up Zitang Huan who fell down because he was dodging the star dart, but the other party let go of his hand very quickly, "I'm sorry... Jin."

"No--"

"Don't forgive me! Jin!" Zitang Huan's voice suddenly became louder, and the speed of his speech also became urgent, "...At that time, before I came to Ice Lake with Ghost Fox... I made up my mind, I will never soften my heart towards you. At that time, I... really had such vicious beliefs. I am not qualified to accept your forgiveness."

He sounded almost crying, "Kelly's right, a guy like me doesn't deserve to be your friend,"

"Purple Hall..."

"It's good you're alright, Kim. I should say goodbye to you too..."

He took a few steps back, then turned around and ran away with all his strength.

"Zitang!" Jin called out the name of his former friend, but Zitang's phantom seemed to have made a decision, and he didn't look back at all. He chased forward a few steps, but finally stopped.

"Go, isn't he your friend? He doesn't look very well now," Gray asked standing behind him.

"Gerry, you are my friend too!" Jin turned his head, frowning slightly, with hesitation in his expression, and the illusory look made Jin a little worried.

"But, Gray, hasn't your weapon been repaired yet? What if someone comes to sneak attack?"

Although it seems a bit worrying, but with Zitang Huan whose Yuanli Armament has been restored, and Ge Rui who has not been repaired by Lie Zhan, Jin's heart undoubtedly fell to Fa Xiao's side.

"For friends, the misunderstanding can be resolved very well. After meeting Zitang again, there must be a way to resolve the misunderstanding." Jin walked towards Gray and patted him on the shoulder. "Gerry, I know you are very strong." , but now Lie Zhan has not recovered, if someone like a ghost fox comes to attack you, I have to protect you!"

Jin summoned the 'Vector Shield' which he only understood not long ago, "I'm already much stronger than when I first competed, Gray, you have to believe me!"

Jin's eyes were serious, with an extremely rare request, and more determined than ever.

As the second in the standings, he was the target of ambushes and attacks before the qualifiers.In that case, if Jin, a newcomer who just participated in the competition, acts with him, he will only become the target of everyone's attack because of himself.

But, now, on this battlefield where there are only 100 people left... it is a good choice to act together.

"...Idiot, it's up to you."

Gray didn't say anything anymore, and still sat in the original position not far from the tent, guarding his fierce chop, but this time, he didn't have to be so vigilant a little.

So Gray closed his eyes and just sat there for a while to rest.

The author has something to say:

I think it's quite obvious that Grey's eye color is changing in the animation

Therefore, in terms of eyes, private settings will be added
