บท 61: A Bite of Defiance

After such a long and tense fight, Adam noticed something was wrong with Gaston's eyes. Like an overlord, nothing entering his vision could reach him. However, he wasn't without options... and sometimes the simplest were the most efficient.

Hit from a blind spot or render him unable to protect himself!

After bringing his nemesis to the ground, he climbed on him, pushing his crystalline spear's shaft on his neck to keep him in place.

"Let's see how you protect yourself now. Haha."

His eyes exuded a bottomless spiral of madness as he laughed, encased in the shimmering aura of the light ward. Victory was finally within his grasp... revenge, too.

'Not good!'

Meanwhile, Gaston's mind churned. He had to free himself but already felt his strength diminish, absorbed out of his spectral form against his will by the hateful spear.

His frame shook as he gritted his teeth. He made a choice. One he never thought he would be obliged to make.
