Chapter 242- Unexpected Turn
Hearing her shout, the silver guards and the adventurers quickly regained their footing. Although the enemy was a Battle Grizzly and dozens of Battle Bears, they too were veteran warriors and their number currently surpassed their enemies.
When it seemed that everybody had steeled their heart to duke it out with the Battle bears, the Battle Grizzly tossed out something which it was holding in its paws.
The object skidded the ground after it was tossed and appeared in front of them. Immediately everybody inhaled a cold breath of air as they stared at the thing that was flung casually by the Battle Grizzly.
The thing in front of them was not any object but a human with a wide gaping hole in his chest. On a closer look, the person was none other than an adventurer who was one of the many people who were assigned the task of night guard.
