64 Chapter 63 - Troll

Gasping, Kaito lowers his sword, heavy breathing ringing in his ears, as the slaughter notification pops up for him. Adrenaline still pulses through his veins after the intense battle.

The colossal body of the Hell Bear topples before him, and the severed head rolls a little through the soft, intensely green grass of the clearing, filling the air with a tense silence.

Standing motionless for a moment, Kaito admires the outcome of the fight, relieved to have overcome that formidable opponent.

"That was close," he whispers to himself, letting out a satisfied smile. "Those Hell Bears are truly respectable creatures."

At that moment, the purpose that brought him to this clearing returns to Kaito's mind: the body of the troll, which he seeks to sell to the Merchant for a generous sum of money. So Kaito cautiously moves away from the body of the Hell Bear, the fervent feeling of battle gradually beginning to dissipate.
