Chapter 502: The Puppets [3]


    ?


    ''...This is starting to get a little difficult.''


    I could feel the sweat drip down from the side of my face.


    It felt strangely cool.


    "Kh."


    I took a deep and steady breath.


    I was slowly starting to tire out. Staring at the numerous puppets ahead of me, I flicked my hand and cut the threads above them before sending them behind me.


    ''How long have I been doing this for?''


    I had lost count by now.


    All I knew was that I had been going at this for at least several hours.


    I was on the verge of exhaustion, and when I looked to my right, I saw Caius standing calmly.


    "You can switch with me when you''re done."


    "...Yes, I''ll switch soon."


    I probably could''ve pushed myself further than this. This wasn''t my true limit. If I wanted to,


    I could squeeze myself until utter exhaustion, but...


    ''I don''t have to do that.''


    Yes, I didn''t have to do that.


    I wasn''t alone.


    I didn''t need to suffer like I once did.


    Therefore,


    "I''ll hold them back for a minute longer. Get... ready."


    "Okay."


    This was good.


    I felt liberated, but at the same time, it felt strange.


    "This is probably the first time I haven''t pushed myself to the point of death.''


    A part of me wanted to keep pushing, but I also knew I shouldn''t.
