Kapitel 1137: A Scholar's Warfare [Pt 1]

"Jared Leonard… you must perish."

The moment I heard those words, I automatically set up my fundamental defence and raised my guard.

'I thought it was from Neron. But it seems that I'm wrong…'

Making assumptions would be the antithesis of critical thought. Neron might have wanted me to find this place and this thing, but assuming that it was an ally remained my fatal flaw.

'And since it seeks to attack me right now, there's no need to be considerate, is there?'

Studying the enemy while engaging in combat seemed like a viable option for me, but the moment the threat proved to be something I couldn't handle, I would have to stop pulling my punches.

'With my energy levels as low as they are now, it'll be best if I do not resort to anything too amazing.'

~WHOOOOOOSSSHHH!~

The blue entity rushed in my direction with breathtaking speed, causing my eyes to widen in both shock and amazement at the sight.
