Kabanata 177: Chapter 176 - Counterattack(Part 15): Running Wild

Okay, just as I thought...this isn't working. It had been about a minute since I switched from Vampire Mode to Karma, and I was totally on the defensive. It was taking everything I had just to keep myself from taking any major hits, he was too much faster than me right now from me to counter or strike back. And it just kept getting harder and harder to maintain my focus and concentration. 

Damn it, what do I do? I'll be forced to enter Vampire Mode again soon at this rate, but if I don't have a plan by then, it won't make much of a difference...since he thinks I used up my time limit, I had the element of surprise up my sleeve, but that'd be pointless if I couldn't find a way around his Cross. I feel like I'm losing my mind, trying to both fight and think while simultaneously suppressing this ravenous desire was getting harder and harder.
