LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 183
183. A Fight For Life [Side – Glen]
“This light… it’s from that time!”
The light is emanating from Sara’s palm.
And I’ve seen this light before. It’s the same light that healed Vitt!
“The power of the
“Enhancing physical abilities!? It had that kind of effect!?”
Come to think of it, when she healed Vitt, she didn’t mention that second effect.
The light radiating from Sara’s palm envelops my whole body. Along with it, I feel strength welling up from deep inside me.
With this… I can do it!
“Glen, I’m sorry. When I use
“…Sara, thank you. Leave the rest to me.”
As the light fades, I support Sara’s body. She collapses into unconsciousness with a look of relief.
I lay Sara down gently beside the room and turn to face Zanent again.
“…Why didn’t you attack? You could’ve hit me while I was laying Sara down.”
“Because it’s love, obviously!! I hate you so much I want to kill you! But I love you just as much!!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I used to study as a lowly noble back in the day. But compared to my brother, I was the stupid one.
So I vowed: I would master the martial arts, and my brother would master the literary arts.”
Zanent cracks his neck and flashes a grin.
“Love is respect. I respect the strong. Especially someone like you who keeps getting back up!”
“Well, thanks, I guess. I can’t bring myself to hate you either.”
“Glen!! Let’s have a battle full of love!!”
“Bring it on!”
Normally, this wouldn’t be possible—but right now, I feel like I can do it.
It’s probably the effect of
“
“Uoooooooohhh!!”
We clash with a flurry of punches.
Bone collides with bone, sending shockwaves rippling through the room.
As the room rumbles with a low groan, we pour all of our strength into our fists and strike at each other.
“Fantastic, Glen!! You’re moving so much faster than before!”
“I’m just getting started!”
I dodge Glen’s right hook and land a flying kick to his face.
Caught off guard, Zanent staggers backward, skidding as he braces himself.
Earlier, even with
But now it’s different. Reacting to his moves and countering with even greater speed, there’s no opening in my attacks!
“This is amaziiiiiing!! I felt the love in your strike, Glen!!”
Zanent licks the blood trickling from his nose, his excitement growing wild.
“I like you, Glen! So I’m going to kill you with my ultimate move!!”
“An ultimate move…? You’re hiding something else!?”
“Be happy, Glen! I’ve never used this move on anyone before!”
“That’s what you call love, huh.”
“You’re getting it, aren’t youuuuuuuu!!”
The moment he shouts, Zanent’s entire body seems to shed its skin. His form turns crimson red, veins bulging.
His eyes go blank and white, radiating overwhelming power.
With every punch we exchange, I feel like I’m starting to understand Zanent a little more. He probably feels the same way about me.
Which is why I have to face him with everything I’ve got!!
“
Zanent screams as he charges at me with unprecedented speed.
He’s forcing his physical abilities beyond their limit, channeling everything into a single blow.
Then I’ll do the same.
I’ve never tried this before, but something about fighting Zanent tells me I can pull it off.
“I’ll pour everything I have into my right arm—everything!”
The moment I focus, I feel my right arm ignite with searing heat.
I hold onto that sensation as I rush to meet his strike!
“
Our fists collide.
The impact shakes the entire structure to its core. The ground beneath us trembles violently.
What happens when two massive forces clash? I didn’t know the answer—but it revealed itself right in front of me.
The answer was silence.
“Wha…at…?”
Zanent’s fist narrowly misses my face, slicing through the air.
Meanwhile, my fist connects squarely with the side of his head.
“Ugh… gah…”
Letting out a broken groan, Zanent collapses onto his back, white-eyed and motionless.
