Chapter 15: The Rising-Falling Dread Knight
Groaning in pain, Ranta hugged his longsword against hiht arm and simultaneously pressed down on his injured left arm
“O…” The word escaped his lips as he attempted to flex his left hand No! He needed to stay absolutely silent
He was hidden, as usual, in a pigworm pen… wor hiathered in a corner of one of the pens, Ranta right in thequiet He was alone Completely and utterly alone
Even Zodiak was no longer with hiht spell [DARK INVITATION] had run out Demons could only be summoned for thirty minutes before they returned to their places at foot of Lord Skulheill and Ranta didn’t have the ain The demon’s taunts had really left him dejected
Even someone as aweso such a graceful and elegant escape from what seemed, to him at least, to be a million and four kobolds He was injured all over too; the wound on his left arerso badly that Ranta could no longer feel pain from any of his other numerous injuries He didn’t even want to look at those or think about how much blood he must have lost
His entire ar and, with each throb, blood left him in a steady streaasps
“I’ tone he could le quantum of solace
Hot girls Dancing naked POR FAVOR He wanted super-hot girls dancing naked for hiood It would be better if they were so Mination couldn’t generate anything appropriate No, if anyone it had to be shi+horu Because her boobs were huantic Yume wasn’t bad either Her boobs weren’t enormous but that’s okay Her plain looks were more his type, anyway Yes
Hmm… but somehow, he wasn’t satisfied It was all… too real They were his coether day in and day out Were Not any about it that way depressed him a little
But whatever, it’s fine… They weren’t co Of course they weren’t Naturally they weren’t There was no reason for theht? He had to make it out of here on his own Could he do it?
He had been highly confident about being able to o He never doubted that he could At the very least, he made hi It hurt so badly At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to use it at all And it wasn’t just that Running or any sort of physical exertion sent waves of pain into the wound, causing hihtheaded
All attempts to block out the pain also failed
Can’t do this Can’t go any further than this There’s no way out of here for hts Rather than on the things he couldn’t do, he would focus just on the things he could
Why had things turned out like this? Because he wanted to look cool You first, he’d said to Mogzo He wished he hadn’t now He really did Why did he go and do so like that? Maybe because he wanted to try it just once? Because it was a cool phrase he wanted to use just once? Was that really why?
No That wasn’t it
I just wanted to be accepted Doing so, or some phrase like that, would have made the others think he esome Yeah, there was a little of that too I’ive a shi+t what others think of me, that was a lie
Of course he wanted others to think well of him if possible He wanted to be liked He wanted others to care about hiet others to like hiuy Doing stuff for everyone’s sake, being considerate of people and all Even saying the right things at the right tih
Heh That was Manato Not et near Manato either And it was too late to start trying No one thought well of him, no one liked him And certainly no one cared about him
But he was happy about that at least The, “Mogzo, you first,” thing If the others had been able to get away because of that, then rateful to him Maybe they would have said, “Thank you, Ranta, you saved us” Man, in that moment back there, he was so damn cool
