Fighting off a beast tide! [4]

Badump! Badump!

Inside his Swordsman Mech, Andrew could feel his artificial heart beating rapidly against his chest like the drumbeats of war.

He could feel his blood pumping faster than ever before.

Ascended James' speech kept on reverberating in his head.

'Do you know what we say in the face of death?'

'Not today!'

Those words seemed like mere words of bravado, but to Andrew, they meant more than just words because they just lit the flames of excitement from the depths of his heart.

At this moment, Andrew let loose.

"Muahahaha!" Andrew cackled loudly inside his mech.

"What is more exciting than fighting against death itself?"

"Why let death take me anytime it wants?" He grinned. "Why let death dictate my life?"

"Why let death dictate my way of living?"

"That's just a boring way of living. That's an even more boring way of dying. That's just succumbing to it".

"When death comes, not today!"
