Bab 179: The Celestial Tower's Trials (2)

Ross watched his hands tremble both from the terror he felt and the attack dealt by the construct.

'Damnit! How do I get out of this situation? I know the fear is being induced in me yet I can't stop myself from shaking. How am I supposed to fight at full strength if my body won't perform at full strength?!' 

The thought frustrated him to no end. Shifting his eyes from his trembling hands, he gazed at the slow-approaching monster with gritted teeth and trembling eyes.

He then took deep breaths to calm his shaking body and managed to get back to his feet. Then, he channelled mana through the great sword with more effort than was needed.

After managing to direct his weapon at the monster, Ross willed himself to move despite every cell in his body screaming at him to run.
