章 1092: Being Reckless

-----

I just needed them to trust me, we've done crazier things before. They simply didn't need to worry about my safety, and just concentrate in what they can do.

"Then at the very least let us come with you!" Elfriedden said. "I've become stronger, Blake! And you know it, let me aid you!"

"Me too, I'm coming," said Erdrich. "Ain't nobody stronger than me."

"And me!" Erika said. "My powers will surely help against-"

"No," I said, looking at them with a serious expression. "I don't need anybody's help once I'm inside. I can handle it all on my own."

I might have sounded cold, but I had to be blunt with them.

I've become so strong that simply trying to act weak so they can have the spotlight won't work.

If we want to do thing efficiently, they have to let me carry as much of the weight as I can.

If they keep pushing themselves trying to catch up with me, they'll never truly find their own strengths and abilities.
