Chapter 29 - Monochrome soul

The little birds were frozen in the air, their wings flapping passively, frozen. The clouds were motionless. The humans were frozen. Everything was frozen.

"Hahahaha, it turns out you're not sensitive enough, Genta."

Genta stared intently at the sky, seeing the small body floating in the air. Noah kept his smile, giving a look that Genta couldn't understand, he jump down, destroying the surrounding land landscape.

Dust blocked Genta's eyes, his hands raised to protect his eyes from the debris that could interfere with his vision.

Something hit his stomach, pain spread throughout his body, his internal organs vibrated. Genta was thrown, swinging in the air, at that moment he realized, he had been hit by Noah. One loud bang, and Genta's body cracked, causing the large building to simply crumble.

In the rubble, Genta simply stood up, seemingly unharmed. Noah was tempted to smile, his eyes narrowing as a light chuckle escaped his lips.

"It seems like physically attacking you is useless, just like your other friends, so stubborn."

"Yes, we are stubborn, more stubborn than anything else."

Noah covered his mouth, a shrill laugh escaping from between his lips. He then stopped, staring at Genta with an expression that was more blank than anything else.

He raised one of his hands, and smiled broadly again.

"And because of that, this is the best way to end you."

Suddenly, a very large mirror appeared under Genta's feet, without any reaction at all, Genta disappeared, swallowed just like that. Noah's eyes widened, and then followed by his choking laughter.

Noah stared ahead, where Genta stood confidently and stubbornly, and then disappeared just like that. His heart was so wide, it felt ticklish.

Noah's eyes widened, when his eyes caught something strange. A piece, the black pieces came together, gathered, complementing each other like a puzzle, and forming a whole body.

At that time, Genta returned in a perfect form without any flaws, not missing anything, his eyes were still closed until he slowly opened them. His lips were alluded to, giving Noah a low look, as like looking at a helpless furry creature.

"What... What happened?!"

Genta chuckled softly, both of his hands slipping into his pockets, giving a light and relaxed gesture.

"There is only one explanation, you could never send me behind the mirror."

Noah spat, then started to sneer, throwing insults at him.

"I don't care about your explanation."

His hands were outstretched forward, a thin, heartless smile on his lips.

"I just need to send you more accurately right?"

A large chunk of glass appeared from his shadow, and in an instant it pierced him, piercing every structure of his body, he fell to his knees, falling to the ground just like that.

Genta's body emitted light, and his body disappeared, disintegrating on its own.

"That's how you defeat an arrogant person."

Noah was frozen, his feet not moving, looking at the place where Genta disappeared from his slump.

"This time he will really be sent behind the mirror, right?"

He asked himself, even feeling uncertain after what happened before.

"It turns out you're quite thorough, huh?"

Noah's ears were tickled by the whisper, he recognized the voice, the voice of the person who spoke a moment ago, he reflexively yanked back.

Noah's eyes widened, when the person he should have expected to be there was not there at all.

"What are you doing, you look ridiculous."

Noah turned his head toward the sound, at that time Genta was still standing straight, as if the previous incident had never happened to him. He growled softly.

"So you were there all this time huh?

Genta laughed, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in it,

"Not entirely true, the point is I have deceived you with a cheap trick, it turns out you are so clever huh."

Noah growled more, his hands clenched tightly, and in a powerful burst of screams, his emotions broke out.

"Why? Why? Why?! What happened to you!!"

Genta took a short walk, until he stopped right under a tree, his hand picking up a leaf that was frozen in the air.

"Basically the condition to really enter behind the mirror is to give the soul, am I right? And... I'm sorry, the person in front of you right now... is just an empty body without soul."

Genta was out of sight, and more agile than a gust of wind, he began to attack again.

Noah bit his lower lip, once he realized Genta wasn't playing around he started to get scared, then backed away. He started to get furious when he felt his glass protection reflex start to experience a delay, not just an ordinary delay, as if his speed was starting to approach this speed.

Noah pointed his hand forward, then created a small glass shard, then it shot through the air. Each object bounces off each other, each glass reflected, making the attacks look like they were numerous, coming from all directions.

Genta ran, trying not to get hit by Noah's attacks. But it was very difficult, the objects would bounce, the more it got later, until it might reach an unhittable number.

"Tell me where your soul is!!"

Noah's emotions exploded, his voice was loud with a very readable expression of annoyance, like a small child who was angry because his mother didn't give him ice cream.

***

A long battle, that's probably what other people think, but the reality is not like that. Noah shuddered, every attack from Genta felt different every time, especially the speed.

It was as if he was growing, faster than the previous attack, trying to break through Noah's reflective protection speed

"This is a very disadvantageous situation for me, his speed is increasing with each attack, I better retreat first."

Noah stretched his arms to the side, and a mirror just appeared. Noah giggled, seeing Genta's wide eyes.

"Damn, you want to run away, huh?"

Noah laughed lightly, then he let their eyes meet with different views between them.

"Don't get me wrong Genta, I won't run away, and one day I will definitely come back to you, don't forget that."

Noah slowly backed away, slowly swallowed into the mirror, his despicable smile still stuck there.

"See you. Loser."
