Chapter 341. Ill Do My Thing (1)
Leo felt as if he were about to lose consciousness. He could do nothing but bite his lip and endure the horror that spread from his wound.
"Master! Master!" Rigor cried internally.
Rigor, freeze the wound, Leo ordered.
"...You can't fight like this. You're not ready to face a Demon King..." Rigor's voice trembled.
Even if it's just me, I'll still fight, Leo replied through gritted teeth.
Ssssh.
The hole in his abdomen froze solid under the chill that his blade Rigor emanated. The bleeding stilled for the moment, but it was only first aid to buy time.
Pain kept surging. It was a kind of agony Leo had never felt in his life. He felt as if he would fall to the ground at any second. But he couldn't allow himself to collapse. No—he must not fall.
He forced a smile at Seria, who stood behind him, and said, "It's all right..."
"L–Leo!" Seria cried.
"I can endure it. So please—hurry..." Leo managed to finish his sentence.
The mana spilling from him spread outward, taking up space. It was at most 7-Star mana. It was a pitifully small force against a Demon King. Yet Leo kept his eyes wide open and stared ahead.
