60-60 Armor of Magic (2/2)

I know it with all my senses.

I know it, but I can't help but feel frustrated and disappointed.

I'm mad at myself for being so helpless.

And yet...

──── At the same time, it's funny.

I'm so angry at myself for being so helpless that I feel like I'm going crazy. ────

So why am I smiling now?

From the bottom of my heart, an inexplicable laughter comes up.

Ha-ha-ha.

What the hell is this laughter?

Am I losing my mind?

No, no.

I know that ────.

This is hilarious.

I'm so happy, I can't help but be happy.

Having this guy right in front of me.

A goal to get stronger.

A goal to overcome.

I've always wanted something, and now it's right in front of me.

”Draggrave.

”Parry.

I'm sure he doesn't even care about me.

He can't even remember my name properly.

That's true.

To him, I'm just an insignificant nobody.

He probably thinks I'm no different than any other fish in the sea... or so he thinks.

That's right.

That's how much he knows about me.

────── That fact excites me.

There's a hopeless power gap between me and him.

In order to make up for this, I feed all my magic power into my ”magic armor”.

I ignore my body's warning signals and increase my speed even more. ────

All my screaming muscles gave out, and the bones in my legs shattered as I stepped in for the blow.

That's good.

I can't get there otherwise.

Not to the point where this monster is.

But ────

”Parry.

And so he easily repels my fastest attack, which is way past the limit.

”Ha!

I can't help but laugh.

You can't help but laugh.

──── Is there such a man?

I'm not sure what to do.

I don't even feel like I can reach it.

──── you ............ still have room to spare, don't you?

Yeah. I think I can handle this much.

...... Okay. Maybe next time I'll go ────── faster.

Yeah, please.

I held up my spear again, listening to the sound of my body creaking and breaking.

Already, I couldn't feel my hands.

I'm half deaf.

My eyes were already blurry and I could only focus with one eye.

My body is wobbling.

I think I'm finally starting to go crazy all over.

But ──── that's okay.

The more my body breaks down and the more I'm driven to the edge, the more I feel my spear becoming clearer.

We can still do this.

Yeah, next time.

The next blow is the one that will reach him. ──── My best blow.

”Draggrave.

I just enjoyed wielding the spear so much that I ──── kept on wielding it that day until my body completely stopped listening to me.
