Gerard is no fool. But he was moved. Too much for his emotion to handle and he might go crazy if he fails to contain his emotion. And the only way to get it in check is to fight the disadvantaged Seignor with no innate potential in a fair fight.
So he stabbed himself enough for his body to slow down significantly and fight the enemy without using skills and mana.
Only technique and will.
Heh, I might be a laughingstock for doing this to my own body but through this fight, I can measure how far I can go without relying too much on my innate potential.
What does it say? Ah, right. The body can withstand almost everything, it is the mind that needed strengthening.
This a quote to console those who are not blessed and are always followed by tragedy and tribulation in life. Gerard produced a self-depreciation laugh.
Seignor that was charred all over his body moved and struck his blade on the ground to use for support while trying to stand.
