Another dawn.

I opened my eyes and blankly stared at the dim nightlight softly illuminating the dark room.

I tried to get up but—

"Ouch."

I grabbed my shoulder.

Hurriedly, I reached out for the medicine and water on the table beside my bed and swallowed them.

"Ugh."

Trembling in pain for a moment, I finally started to regain my composure as the lingering pain in my body subsided.

The battle against the second named boss, Death Knight Zakham, hadn’t been smooth.

There were more hurdles than I had expected.@@novelbin@@

The biggest issue had been absorbing the *Dark Mana Rampage* into Zakham. After getting caught in his grasp, you had to fortify your body and escape at the right moment. If you delayed even slightly, you'd be drained of life and die. But if you escaped too early, the dark mana would explode inside you.

If I had allies with me, they could have stunned Zakham to free me from his grasp.

Yesterday, I used the *Champion's Belt* several times. Even after figuring out the gimmick, I still had to shave off 200 million of his 500 million HP myself.

A belt that prevents instant death once, fixing my HP at 1%.

The power of a hero that activates when my HP hits 1%.

In other words, I had to die to proceed.

Zakham's attacks were brutal. Unlike the Black Dragon, his strikes didn’t pierce me cleanly—they were more savage.

There were times when I tried to make the death less painful, only to find my torso split in half. Fortunately, the gift from *Igraine* prevented me from fighting with just half of my body. The green light that circled my wounds held my body together, keeping me from being torn apart.

"Sigh."

I let out a long sigh.

This useless body in this world can’t withstand much pain.
