—Blood. 
It wasn't the crimson red he had anticipated. Instead, it glistened like a deep blue, shining like the sky on a clear summer day. Blur's brows furrowed in confusion as he stared at the strange sight. "I'm... I'm seeing things?" he muttered to himself, his voice barely a whisper—why is my blood blue?"Pi-ii…" The monstrous voice echoed through the forest, a primal and unnerving sound that reverberated like a raging beast.Blur's attention was torn away from his peculiar blue blood as he scanned the surroundings, trying to locate the source of the voice. His eyes darted around, searching for any sign of the creature that had pursued them. The shadows danced menacingly, concealing their foe.However, his gaze soon settled on Number 102. She stood there, trembling with fear, her eyes wide with terror. In that moment, Blur realized that he couldn't simply leave her behind. They were in this together, and if no one was going to save them, then they had to save each other.Summoning every ounce of courage he possessed, Blur attempted to step away, to confront the approaching beast. But as he moved, Number 102's grip tightened on his clothing, her eyes filled with desperation. 
She was afraid of it, terrified of what would happen if he confronted the monstrous entity.Blur stood beside her, patting her head gently in an attempt to soothe her fears. It was a silent promise, an unspoken agreement that they would face this ordeal together. He couldn't leave her alone in the darkness, and he couldn't abandon her to face the unknown."102," he whispered softly, his voice carrying the weight of his determination. "It's ok. Their no need for you to worry. Once we get through this. I'll show you something sweet."Offering her a gentle smile, she release her grasp on his cloth as he walked forth. As the monstrous entity drew nearer, its presence a looming threat in the shadows,Blur carefully left number 102 behind a thick tree. His eyes never leaving her trembling form. She crouched there, her breaths ragged with fear, but she nodded as he mouthed reassuring words. With one final glance, he stepped out of the woods and into the clearing, where the beast stood like a specter awaiting his arrival.The creature seemed unfazed by his approach, as though it had been waiting patiently for this moment. Its form was unsettling, the black skin akin to worn robes, swaying like flames in the artificial night wind. Its claw-like fingers and beastly limbs sent shivers down Blur's spine, and the mask on its torso, riddled with hive-like holes, was a grotesque sight.Dread coiled in Blur's chest as he chanted the command.[System] Command —initiate command sequence [Invoke] metalIn defiance of gravity, the ground rises, creating a swirling mass of soil. Responding to the system's command, it rises and unites into a cohesive, wavy mass of earth. "[Shape] Sword". The air grew chilly, and wind congealed into a shimmering blade. Cold steam wisped off it, creating an ethereal glimmer beneath the moonlight."Heavy... and cold?" Blur muttered to himself, the weight of the sword pulling him down as if it were made of heavy rocks. It was a good thing he didn't created it out of ice or fire. His arms quivered with the painful touch of the cold metal, but he paid it no heed. His hands turned blue as he clamped around the sword hilt, and the blade's tip embedded itself in the earth."—Argh" A sharp cry of pain escaped his lips as he tried to wrench the sword free, but it refused to yield."Aghhh—"He exerted every ounce of his strength, finally pulling the sword from the ground with a powerful yank. The sword cleaved through the air, leaving Blur's hands trembling from the effort."[Re—Shape] Short sword" In a moment of desperation, he chanted another command, transmuting the hefty metal sword into a shorter, more manageable knife. The blade glistened with cold determination, its shimmering edge ready to confront the looming threat before him.
