Are you really not behind the scenes?

But at this moment, the evolution truster suddenly glowed.

Hikigaya opened his eyes slightly. Nexus's light... responded to him?

There was longing and expectation in his eyes, but... it wasn't.

The light didn't respond to him, the light just told him.

Alien beast... appears again...

Chapter 57 Because, I am Nexus!

The alien beast appeared again, right at the place where Hikigaya fought last night...

The enemy is still Northfield.

The alien beast that left after defeating Hikigaya last night appeared again.

There was no time for Hikigaya to rest or a chance to react. It was as if a surveillance camera was installed in his home. Not long after he woke up, it appeared again.

Hikigaya had no time to think, no time to react. The moment the Evolution Truster shined, he knew that he was about to set off.

People who are suffering need him!

When he dragged his tired and painful body to his destination and saw Northfield, he raised the Evolutionary Truster again, and then transformed into Nexus.

The light shines again, and the silver giant stands on the earth.

He expanded the Meta Domain and imprisoned Northfield in a cage far away from the city.

And Northfield was just like last night, without action or resistance, allowing Hikigaya to lead it into the Meta realm.

Everything seemed to be a repeat of last night.

But Hikigaya put on a posture.

He knew very well that this was not a do-over;

The injury to my right shoulder is still very painful, my right arm is still very weak, my body is very heavy, and I seem to have no strength to even move.

The energy light did not flicker, but Hikigaya felt as if as long as he moved, the energy light would quickly sound an alarm.

The condition is very bad, indescribably bad.

Hikigaya, who was in perfect condition last night, lost to Northfield, let alone him who was seriously injured now.

That fierce aura and sharp claws seemed to be able to easily tear Nexus into pieces at this moment.

So tired, so painful...ah, I don't want to fight or fight, my body's tiredness is resisting to continue fighting.

The feeling of weariness quietly spreads from the heart.

Human beings hate pain and choose to avoid it. This is the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

But... there must be a fight.

No matter how painful his body was... no matter how painful his arms were, he had to fight.

He is Nexus...the one chosen by the light. It doesn't matter even if he is confused, it doesn't matter even if he falls on the battlefield, he must fight!

This time, it was no longer Northfield who took the lead in attacking, but Hikigaya, who had experienced a failure just last night.

He had no time to summarize or reflect on last night's failure. He only knew one thing now.

——Destroy the enemies in front of you!

In last night's battle, due to lack of experience, he was attacked by Northfield. As a result, Hikigaya was seriously injured at this moment. He was originally able to sustain 3 minutes in the meta field, but now... he may not be able to sustain even 2 minutes.

He must defeat Northfield in 2 minutes!

Therefore, Hikigaya took the initiative to attack.

The only way to distance yourself from Nosfell is to be restrained by Nosfell's mist. Only by fighting head-on and in close combat can you truly defeat Nossfel!

Therefore, instead of playing it safe, he came to Nosfield at Mach speed, raised his arm and punched him mercilessly.

Northfield was knocked back by the power. It made a sound, and fog emitted from its body again. It tried to hide and looked for opportunities to start a counterattack, but Hikigaya gave it no chance.

He stretched out his left arm and grabbed Nosfer's arm tightly. He raised his right hand and the saving beam suddenly appeared, and then tightly imprisoned Nosfer's body.

If you can't capture the enemy's figure after he uses the fog, then lock the enemy's figure before he uses the fog!

As Hikigaya himself said, he will never be fooled again after he has already been fooled once!

After locking Nosfer, Hikigaya raised his left arm and continued to attack without mercy.

The mist had dissipated, but with the restraint of the saving beam, Hikigaya was able to accurately grasp Nosfell's position. Therefore, the attack did not stop, and the fists and kicks did not stop.

Defeat it... Defeat Northfail!

He is Nexus, the Nexus who protects the people.

We must defeat the alien beast here...!

However, when Hikigaya was attacking frantically, Hikigaya didn't notice that Northfield... broke away from the saving beam.

It pulled away its arms, and the saving beam was torn apart. Then, it raised its sharp claws and slapped Hikigaya's right shoulder hard!

A powerful and heavy blow hit Hikigaya's right shoulder, and severe pain swept over him instantly. Hikigaya couldn't help but make a sound of pain, and his huge body couldn't help but retreat.

The heartbreaking pain made Hikigaya couldn't help but cover his right shoulder, and he bent down and fell to the ground.

Even if he transforms into Nexus and relies on the power of light to move, the injuries on his body will not disappear.

——Hikigaya suffered a heavy blow!

Northfield took advantage of the victory and pursued it. It raised its paw and kicked Hikigaya hard in the abdomen, causing Hikigaya's body to rise upwards. Then it swung its huge claws, causing Hikigaya to fall heavily to the ground.

The series of heavy blows caused the energy light on Hikigaya's chest to start flashing.

Northfield looked at his embarrassed appearance and laughed in triumph and joy.

It was a natural result. How could such a young and seriously injured capable person be its opponent?

It won...the battle was its victory.

No one can stand up after taking such a heavy blow!

nobody!

Yes... Normally, there should be no talent.

But......

Hikigaya fell to the ground, but he struggled and got up bit by bit.

He cannot fall... He is Nexus, the light that protects life.

Carrying countless lives on his back, he cannot fall here! ! !

He struggled tenaciously to get up from the ground, but before he could stand still, Northfield's claws tore it apart from the bottom up.

The sharp claws tore through Nexus' skin, and bits of light spread out from his chest.

It's useless...no matter how hard you struggle, it's useless.

Even if he stood up, it was impossible for Hikigaya to defeat Nosfel at this moment.

The gap in strength, the gap in body...are too big!

Northfield sneered crazily. It was high up, like a hunter teasing its prey, watching Hikigaya struggle and resist, but finally fell powerlessly.

Alien beasts are cruel and evil, feeding on fear and despair. They will also inflict fear and despair on others.

Be afraid, be desperate, and then...fall down!

Hikigaya was severely knocked down by Northfield again.

Are you about to fall?

Are you going to fail?

Will he fall at the hands of Northfield again?

Hikigaya thought like this, he couldn't see the hope of victory or the way to win.

He can't win...he can't win at all.

Nexus...I can't win at all...

Falling to the ground, the energy light on his chest flashed faster. Hikigaya slowly closed his eyes as if being swallowed by darkness...

But at this moment, a line of subtitles suddenly appeared in the depths of his mind.

'How can a mere alien beast be Nexus's opponent? '

"————!?"

As if being distracted by something, Hikigaya seemed to see the smiles and pride on people's faces.

They believe in Nexus and the protection of light.

Even though I didn’t see anything, I believed and trusted from the bottom of my heart.

How could they fall if they believed in themselves like this?

Not once, not twice, not twice, not three times... For the smiles of the people and the future of the people, he cannot fall, he must not fall.

because......

He is Nexus!

Chapter 58 Scene Reenactment

Hikigaya stood up.

Even though he was shaky and even though he was bruised and bruised, he still stood up tenaciously.

In order to protect a better tomorrow and to respond to the people who trust him.

His will made him stand up!

Nexus stood up again, which surprised Nosfeil slightly, but Nosfell was not too scared.

It has already secured victory, it is already destined to win, so what qualifications does a person who cannot even stand firmly have to be its enemy?
