Chapitre 144: Counter-Attack

A few moments before

When the hammer hit him the first time, Aldrich felt a searing pain in his body. His Defence, though high, wasn't enough to thwart the combined power of the Giant Crawler and the hammer.

"Daddyyyy…."

The second hit broke a few bones, and by the time the hammer came down for the fifth round, Aldrich had already lost all sense of pain. Only Sha's deafening cries kept ringing in his mind.

Aldrich struggled to open his eyes and tried to move the tips of his fingers. The pain coursing through his body was unimaginable, but it still wasn't enough for him to lose rationality. And compared to his first encounter with the Will of the Banished Golden Devil, it was nothing.

His mind thought of ways to handle this problem he had found himself in. There were many, but he only found one which was the quickest and efficient. But it was also the costliest among all the solutions.
