Chapter 19：A Thousand Punches (2/2)

Said Mack removing his clothes, all of them, while holding his knife with the mouth.

After throwing everything inside the safe zone. Mack stood there. Naked.

Naked.

With a knife in his mouth.

Mack walked ten steps away from the safe zone.

And fell on his knees.

And still holding the knife in his mouth he punched the ground.

One punch.

Two punches.

And like a mad man. He continued to punch the ground.

Right.

Left.

Right.

Blood gushed from his hands from time to time as small cuts were formed from the impact.

But Mack continued to punch the ground.

And from time to time he let escape grunts from pain, his improvised gag using a knife, only worked partially.

After almost a thousand punches on the ground. The pressure caused by the Essence was so strong that Mack fell unconscious to the side.

In the middle of a blood pool formed by himself Mack saw darkness come to him one more time in his life.

But this time, he was not trying to kill himself. Quite the opposite, he was doing this, so he could save himself.

[What a crazy bastard. To think of this way to improve faster, he deserve the result of his own actions.]

Said the Arcane Legacy, but did nothing to change the man situation. An Arcane only role was to guide, not to change.

Mack's fate was only bound to his own actions.
