The cold feeling in my chest was crawling into the rest of my body, or that's how it seemed at first, but it wasn't physical.
It was something different.
Something distant that exists on a different layer of existence... the soul.
The edge of his sword had passed the physical barriers, reaching deep inside me and touching my soul itself.
It was unbearable... creeping and strange.
For a moment it didn't hurt, but that was only for a moment before it started to build.
My limbs stopped listening to me, and my body froze like I'd turned into a block of cold stone.
My eyes were stuck on the person in front of me, I saw the reflection of my face in his blue pupils, the shock drawn on my features.
For a moment I thought he was cheating, that this was some ability of his sword or a Relic... because there was no ability like this in the report I'd read about this person.
