Chapter 75 : Monster Rampage [5]
A searing pain shot through me, blood spurting out.
It wasn't a deep wound.
But when its claws grazed my right leg, my knee hit the ground before I knew it.
As my stance collapsed, the Alpha immediately aimed for my neck.
Clang—!
On instinct, I raised my sword and barely managed to block it.
"Haa… haa… hah…"
Panting heavily, I parried the Alpha's arm aside, forcing myself back onto my feet despite the pain.
"Urgh… ah…"
It hurt.
It hurt so damn much.
I'd never been injured like this before, never bled this much before.
As pain and panic mixed, the fear of death began to creep up my spine.
"Haa… haa…"
I wanted to run.
I didn't want to feel this pain.
Negative thoughts tore through my mind.
For a shut-in like me, this was far too cruel.
"…Haaah."
But I didn't run.
Instead, I forced myself to calm down.
To become a knight—or rather, to survive in this world—this much pain was something I had to endure.
