Thump!
Alexia's back slammed into the rock as blood gushed from her mouth. She had already endured more than thirty blows from the Head Golem, who was holding nothing back.
"Young lady... your endurance and will to succeed are impressive... but some barriers in this world cannot be broken down by desire alone. You cannot achieve your goal just by trying many times in a row... You need to think about the solution..."
It was great advice, not only for Alexia, but for every person in this world, whether they were a Phantom, a monster, or an ordinary human.
But... Alexia hardly heard even a tenth of it.
She frowned, stood up while a trickle of blood ran down her forehead, and pointed at the Head Golem.
"You."
"Hmm?"
Alexia frowned.
"You're useless, aren't you?"
In the hundreds of years that the Head Golem had spent in this place, it was the first time he had heard this question. Even a monster as old and experienced as he was didn't know how to respond to it.
