Chapter 124: Death
I am standing only with the help of my force of will. I have taken the position to start moving at any time, but I have absolutely no confidence in being able to move in case of an emergency.
The man in front of me is a true monster. There is no way of knowing what kind of card he has under his sleeve.
Moonlight is illuminating the ruins of the old castle that has turned into a wasteland. The sound of the wind is the only thing I can hear. If I was alone, I would have definitely run away. I’ve gone through life or death struggles many times until now, but the monster in front of me is different from those. He is the true monster which has survived for many years. The conditions were overwhelmingly in my favor. That’s why I was caught in a trap.
It’s the opposite of what usually happens. This guy hasn’t evolved as much as me, but he’s stronger than me. I would have lost if I had gotten off the wrong foot.
I desperately calm myself down. keep my composure.
And —- the sword he was holding in his right hand fell, piercing the ground. The blood pillars that were skewering Jet from all sides lost control and vanished.
However, even after regaining freedom, Jet made no more moves, falling to the ground.
Looks like ‘Blood Pain’ I got from Sable also has a demerit. I lost too much blood, I’m dizzy and this power was incomplete to start with.
It’s most likely because I stole it from a body that didn’t have a heart so I could only half-absorb it. It was truly a miracle that I was able to activate that kind of incomplete power in an extreme situation and deal a fatal injury to Jet. But still, a win is a win.
