Synopsis

The chapter depicts a fierce battle where the protagonist is initially overwhelmed by the enemy's powerful attacks. The enemy reveals a second phase, sacrificing defense for offense. Facing imminent death, the protagonist automatically activates 'Cognition Haste', a time-slowing ability that dramatically increases perception and allows the protagonist to identify weak points, but also drains his life force. The protagonist must now use this ability to evade attacks and counter the enemy, though the cost of the ability is significant.
