Musashi gritted his teeth and tightened the muscles on his shoulder to prevent the wound from bleeding out anymore. Otsu suddenly appeared from the side with a cloth, and she ran up to her husband with a look of worry on her face as she started to tie his shoulder with the cloth.
Musashi glanced at her broken nose in anger, but he decided to ignore it for now as he thanked her quietly.
"Arigatou."
Musashi was too complacent. He was so focused on the asteroid that he did not notice that there was another spell hiding behind that one.
Musashi might be a master at controlling mana, but he was still only a novice in the world of magic. He did not know how to distinguish the mana from one spell from that of another spell. If he had another day to really learn how mana worked, he might not have fallen for the trick, but Merlin learned from his fight with Mark and he put a countermeasure just in case the asteroid did not work.
