Chapter 167: Regaining Control of Oneself

*Yukito*

I dodged Milo's slash and grasped my sword. 

"Get a hold of yourself!" I said, looking at him directly in the eye.

Milo glared at me as he pulled free from my grasp. "Shut up."

I gritted my teeth. He was in a berserk state. I needed to get him to calm down. But how? If only Koyuki and his friends were here. Surely they would've been able to reach him.

"Milo, I know you're in there," I said. "Please, don't be like this."

The boy didn't respond. He rushed at me, slashing wildly with my sword.

I sighed and ducked as he did a horizontal slash. Holding my hand out, I grabbed his spear which laid on the floor.

"Milo, you have to snap out of it."

He glared at me, his eyes glowing with rage. "Shut up!"

I swung the spear, smacking him in the chest with the back of the blade.

Milo grunted and fell onto his knees.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
