To err, is to be human...
In his daze, Cain did realize...
He had messed up.
Granted, this error was not entirely his fault. He had no idea the boost provided by the {Black Warrior} ability would be so drastic.
In his mind— no. He had already imagined it. And it shoiihave been this was.
The damage to his body far surpassed what was expected.
It was so bad, he had ended up unconscious.
As his consciousness fizzled back into his body, Cain let out a dreary groan.
Still, he kept his eyes shut.
Ultimately, not knowing his own limits was what put him in his current state.
If his body was stronger, tougher, more resilient...
Maybe he wouldn't have knocked himself out after delivering one blow.
Suddenly, he remembered...
'It was also like that. Back then...'
He had also defeated the {Flame Devil, Forza} in such a manner.
Well, not exactly...
But it was similar.
Back then, he had also put all his strength into a single blow to defeat a powerful adversary.
