Chapter 123: What's the Fuss?

Upon hearing Lair's well-intentioned reminder, all Karim could do was clench his teeth tight.

At this moment, no matter how furious he was inside, he had to endure!

Karim had already pressed the blade against his right arm, a hasty decision made in intense desperation—he knew better than anyone that he was not prepared.

But at this moment, prepared or not, he had to act! It was for the sake of everyone's survival! It was just an arm after all!

However, as soon as Karim thought to exert force, he encountered fierce resistance.

When bending an arm, one can feel a hard, elongated object within the joint—the tendon.

Karim's tendons were resisting him, protecting him.

Karim suddenly froze; he finally snapped out of the heated impulsiveness and clearly understood that he was about to slowly carve off his own arm.

"..."

For anyone, self-harm is a nearly impossible task, let alone for Karim in his current state where a single determined effort wouldn't end it all!
