Chapter 14 - The One in Thousand Years

He charged at me again. How could a human possibly be this fast?

I drew the scimitar from my Arsenal and tried to land a hit on him this time, but he was simply too fast. His spear struck at me with tremendous force every second. How was I even able to block this? Suddenly, I realized it. It was a spear, but he was using it more like an axe. He didn't know how to use a spear.

This was the sound of his spear every time he tried to hit me, but it didn't work. I was at least as strong as he was, but his physical strength was extremely superior to mine.

But finally, everything became slower again for a short moment. I only noticed it when it was almost too late and could barely dodge his spear.

"You don't remember?" he asked, looking at me questioningly.

"What exactly did you hear when you were born?" he asked attentively, as if we hadn't just been fighting for our lives.

"Someone chose me as their servant. Perfection, or something like that."
