Strike Back (VI)
Vincent trembled as he saw Klaus appear before him. Not out of fear, but because the gaping wound on his neck couldn't stop bleeding. His face was pale as a corpse, and his gaze seemed blurry. A normal person might have already died with his current condition.
"You're still alive with a wound like that," Klaus said. "An S-Class awakener can't be underestimated."
"Hiding like a rat and attacking when the enemy is careless. Typical coward," Vincent retorted. Though his voice was weak, his eyes still burned with determination.
"Believe me, defeating you would be easy. I could kill you with my eyes closed if I wanted to."
Vincent coughed up blood as he tried to speak. He wanted to be angry, but he didn't have the strength to do so. Anemia was hindering him from taking action. If Vincent were in his best condition, he would attack Klaus without a second thought.
