How 'He' Fights

I began moving closer to the Hobgoblin King, who, for some reason, shrunk back a bit. Perhaps it already knew its fate if I so much as grazed it.

"I'm sneaky. I cheat a lot…"

As much as it would be really cutthroat to have a death match with Hobgoblins staking my life on the line, I wasn't that kind of person. Perhaps it was because I had gotten so strong that I forgot… deep down I was a coward.

"I hate being in pain, so I just use what's most convenient for me. Even if I have to fight one monster at a time. Even if I have to use sneak attacks. Even if I have to steal all your equipment and use them for myself! It doesn't matter, does it?"

Yes. All that mattered was survival! If I had such an ability, it was only common sense to use it to its fullest.
