章 81: Chapter 82: The Second Battle of Harrizel Part 5

Right here - in the mob of Vermix about to pull me limb from limb. This is the end. Not some meaningful death like killing Beshib first. But by being ambushed, by being outsmarted by the enemy in such a foolishly obvious way. Is this really how it concludes? Here? Like this? My heart skips so fast, I think it might implode. The Vermix are almost upon me but if this is how it ends, I'm taking as many of them as I can with me. Give the others the best chance they've got.

Bracing myself for the inevitable pain sure to follow, I focus on the closet Vermix. His eyes enlarge to the only thing in sight, the two inch space between them like a field of green to aim at. It becomes the only thing that's important.
