Chapter 103
My legs felt numb, still in disbelief.
‘…Did I almost just die?’
– Ahem, to be honest, I thought it was over the moment your sword got stuck in Berme’s shoulder.
If Berme had relied solely on his regenerative power and hadn’t unleashed that blow that broke his arms, I would have died. I was lucky to have even a moment’s respite before his follow-up strike. Without that, or if he had just kicked me right after, my body would have been shattered.
‘I can’t trust you with my life… I almost died of a heart attack.’
– Silence. The speed of that last attack was beyond what I anticipated. You should be worshiping me for even managing to strike his shoulder.
No matter how it happened, the important thing was that I was still alive. As I tried to calm my trembling insides, I noticed the devils with their lower halves trapped in the swamp of hell struggling to get out.
“Hersel, this stuff is too solid. Can’t you just break it?”
Ricks pleaded with me, causing a smirk to form on my lips. I briefly entertained the delightful idea of leaving them there for the rest of the trial period.
