Ficool

Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: Emotion

Adam felt it — something watching from behind the walls, behind the world itself. The black bell still trembled faintly in his hand, as if it could sense what was coming.

He tried to stand. Muscles failing. Dried blood cracking on his clothes.

"One more step…" he muttered, bracing himself against the damp stone wall.

The corridor ahead was different. Wider. Thicker with mist. A rusted iron gate groaned open. Beyond it, a circular chamber — or what had once been a ceremonial hall.

And then he appeared.

Pyramid Head.

Towering. Inhuman. That massive, triangular iron helmet completely concealed his face. His body was grotesque, soaked in dried blood. In one hand, he dragged the Great Knife, scraping it along the ground, showering sparks with each step.

Adam's breath caught. The air was heavy as lead.

"You're the final test, huh?" he whispered, lifting the bell slightly.

But the monster said nothing. Just walked.

Slow. Unstoppable. Like guilt itself.

[Warning: Boss Encounter – Red Pyramid (Pyramid Head) – High Category]

[Emergency Mission: Survive or Defeat the Final Judgment Guardian]

There was no escape. Adam knew it.

The bell trembled violently, like it was answering the call.

Dong.

The chime cut through the air — but Pyramid Head didn't stop.

Adam rolled aside just as the massive blade crashed down, splitting the stone floor.

He ran, weaving left and right, buying distance. The bell pulsed with dark aura.

[Relic Activated: Bell of Spiritual Control – Combat Mode – Timer: 1 minute]

As seconds ticked away, Adam began ringing the bell in rhythm — three short chimes, two long. It was like he was summoning something.

The sound hurt the creature.

For the first time, Pyramid Head paused.

But the cost came fast.

Adam fell to his knees, vomiting blood. The relic's power was eating away at him — his body, his mind, even his soul.

Reality blurred. He saw memories that weren't his — suicides, guilt, flagellation… the essence of this monster.

But he endured.

He rang the bell one final time, pouring in every ounce of pain and rage.

DONG.

A scream that didn't belong to this world shook the chamber. The helmet cracked.

Adam sprinted, iron knife in hand, and leapt — driving it deep into where the heart should be.

Black light exploded outward.

Adam collapsed onto his back. The mask floated before him.

No fear.

No emotion.

He simply stared at the artificial sky above and whispered:

"…Larissa… I'm getting closer."
