Chapter 550: Reason and Instinct (side: Volk)
A veil of red covers my vision, and an urge to destroy assails me. The curse of Bandersnatch is compelling me into madness.
I fix my gaze on Howgrey. The entire area around him appears covered in danger. My mouth curves into a smile. Charging at him is near certain death? I already prepared myself for that much when I assaulted the castle in Alban.
I'll fight with my fury and instincts. Even if I am beheaded before my blade reaches, I'll tear his throat with my teeth.
“Howgreyyyyy!”
Roaring, I swing [Frumious Fang Bandersnatch]. Howgrey readies his shortsword and lunges forward.
No, the danger zone around him has faded. He’s going to step back to wait for an opening.
In that case, I’ll cut through everything including his evasion. I kick off the ground hard, leaping as I swing my longsword down.
The sword tip just barely skims past him. He jumped back further than I was expecting.
“I thought you’d lost your reason, but… That was well intuited. But, it's still not enough.”
