As soon as the light dissipated, Saber fell down on his butt, trembling due to anxiety and the rush of adrenaline.
"Haa! I took a very big gamble."
Shoving aside the perched, dried, swirling body, I tried to get up, breathing heavily. Then, I snapped toward Saber, who twitched like a dead fish.
I could have escaped using shadow steps after a small showdown. After all, the opponent was strong, but I took a risk.
A risk to see where the heart of this guy lies.
Without loyalty, it's worthless to save him.
Thankfully, the gamble paid off; however, I repeated to myself that I shouldn't take such big gambles. But without gambles, I don't think I can prepare early for the future.
Moreover…
It was a thrilling feeling that boosted my ego as my pride screamed, You were right, and you made the right decisions, but its addictiveness might morph me into a broken monster.
