- A moment before Taufik comes back.
Taufik did not know how much time had passed, but he did know that every time he swung his Katana, tens to hundreds of shadow creatures would disappear into the mist and be replaced by other shadow creatures.
Every time this change occurred, the shadow creatures became harder to kill. They did not get stronger, but they slowly began to know how to deal with Taufik.
But no matter how many shadow creatures came to him, no matter how many wounds he received, no matter how many times he swung his katana, fending off attacks that came his way, it never made Taufik fall, even the thought of it never crossed his mind.
