Okay, that's a very strong argument.
Giving serious thought to this...
Wow! Yeah, you've got me, there; I'd beat that little fuckers face in, alright.

tho more to the point, the reason why he ends up stabbing her in the original is both a spoiler and also never explicitly stated
Basically, she has a magic stone in her chest, close to her heart. Ren has an ability to (iirc, it's been a while) turn magic stones into magic swords. Through some circumstances, shit happens and Ren needs the power but for whatever reason Lycia can't give it normally... and hence stabbing and magic stone extraction. Hahaha.
edit:
as for why MC is so scared, it's because MC is slightly paranoid to begin with, and he has absolutely 0 info on all the stuff Ren goes through, so he has absolutely no confidence nor any real basis for confidence that he can somehow avoid the stabbing.
tbh, when i saw her saying that she won't give up i thought she was going to be like those selfish self centred princess types i was even considering dropping this but just a few chapters later she completely won me over, this series actually has some of the most reasonable and mature characters it almost makes up for the rarity of serious fight scenes
