"Looks like I've got one more reason not to lose today…"
My resolve hardened once again.
Then I stepped forward.
The surrounding auras crushed against my body without warning.
The pressure generated by Asterion and the Golden Dawn Knight's collision was horrifying.
Even inside the Night Armor, I felt as though my body might be crushed at any moment.
But I continued moving closer.
Because I knew my chances would only improve the nearer I got.
Asterion's bloodshot eyes suddenly twitched.
His senses had detected a third presence approaching.
"STAY BACK, BOY!!"
His savage roar nearly ruptured my eardrums.
"I don't have the capacity to babysit you!!"
Even his voice had become more monstrous after entering the Red Demon form.
He sounded furious.
And I couldn't blame him.
My interference would only make this battle harder for him if he had to protect me instead of focusing entirely on his opponent.
But this time…
Things were different.
"Sorry, old man!"
I kept moving.
