Knocked Unconscious

Intense pain wracked his body—it was screaming at him.

But Akaya showed no agitation.

(My arm's always getting torn up from using the skill tree anyway. I'm used to losing a lot of blood too.)

The only thing left to do now was to throw his anger at the enemy.

"Ah, damn, my forearm exploded. Now what am I supposed to do?"

His eyes, already lifeless like those of a dead fish, rolled.

"Yahara Gishi, get up!"

The white-haired man shouted.

But there was no response from Chain.

(Damn it, he's out cold. This is… this is already hopeless… From what I've seen of his fights, Akaya Makoto held his own even against the android. I can't beat him. But judging by those abnormal injuries, his body's taken a heavy toll. He shouldn't have much left in the tank…)

The white-haired man waited. For the right moment.

He knew it was coming soon.

Akaya clenched his remaining fist.
