Chapter 118

When I realized what happened, I jumped up immediately. Eriez, my kind friend, fell to the ground. He muttered, "Argh…I… W-who would believe… that I couldn't catch you… T-that I would lose to you… N-no one… would believe…"

I saw that his left hand was cut clean, his artery spewing red blood every time he breathed. My head spun just watching him, but I recovered quickly. I undid my belt and got it wet with the lake water before tying it around his wrist tightly to stop the bleeding. Eriez shook uncontrollably after losing so much blood at once. When he relaxed a little, he screamed at my ear, "Go! Just go, you moron! Argh… But the next time we meet, I will kill you! We will be enemies, you traitor!"
