Volume 4 Chapter 35 ACT.126 Hope (Ⅲ)
"It's for my son."
With those words, Dominic launched a fierce thrust.
The impact against the round shield made Rai's arm bones creak as he struggled to endure the pain.
The intense blow was far worse than before, making him feel that the words "for my son" were not a lie.
A warrior's strength isn't just about training, talent, or experience.
Sometimes, what truly decides victory is the spirit.
Strong emotions, excitement, and the absence of distractions.
Rai does not underestimate the power they create.
The words he spoke serve as a kind of self-suggestion, strengthening his spirit.
Honest words carry a strong power.
Therefore, there is no lie in his words.
The fierce blow speaks louder than anything else.
"My son is dead! He had a terrible illness!"
Pulling back the spear for another attack.
The speed of his strikes has increased dramatically.
"He was not even ten! He couldn't play outside, and he had no friends!"
The relentless attacks continue like a raging fire.
Rai endures as the feeling in his shield hand gradually goes numb.
"That son, he left with a smile, not wanting to make me sad!"
A brief pause occurs, less than a heartbeat.
Anticipating a heavy blow, Rai braces himself.
"This world is wrong!!"
A sharp strike, sharper than ever before, is aimed at Rai.
Judging that defending with the shield is tough, I take control of my body and use my mind-reading cheat to predict Dominic's movements and dodge.
Just in time, the spear tip grazes my throat, making me sweat nervously inside.
Rolling to regain distance, I prepare to reset the fight.
"That's why, Reincarnators are hope──it's proof that there is a *next life*!"
Dominic closes the distance and attacks again.
Using mind-reading, I try to deflect his strikes while looking for a fatal opening, but my body might reach its limit first.
"Maybe, somewhere in this world, my son has been reborn. He might be living happily there!"
Dominic's words heat up.
"Then, this time, I will protect my son's peace!!"
"──That's a big mistake, you old fool."
In that moment, a deadly opening was found.
