Nina took a turn in pain and found nothing behind her. It was perplexing and terrorizing to see an empty field when she knew something had struck her out of nowhere on her back and the pain was still increasing with each passing second.Enduring the anguish, she stretched her arm to touch and feel what was there on her back, enhancing the pain and shedding even more blood. When she grabbed something pierced into her back, her eyes widened from shock.She swallowed and took a deep breath while clenching that thing with all her might. She applied force and plucked out that stick-like object with great force. She felt an alarming pain and let out a cry with a jolt.When her gaze fell on the object, all the pain and grief numbed with wit and she trembled into terror and fear. It was an arrow similar to the ones stacked in Sally's quiver. Nina frowned in shock, brooding when and how a dead girl aimed for her.Due to this strange phenomenon, she forgot to notice the dripping blood gradually

====>[Congratulations!] -:Dungeon conquered:-"Check your rewards below"====This notification baffled Daemon since he had no idea why the system sent such a notification. Because they had been dealing with only humans up to now, keeping aside the regular wolves from the action, it was strange that the dungeon was conquered somehow while only humans were killed last night.The question remained, then, who killed the boss monster when none of the people fighting in the night encountered the boss? There was no justification Daemon could speculate for this sudden system notification.He pondered, "Does this temporary system also crash? If not, then why is it declaring the dungeon conquered when all the fighters and even strategists were here last night? Only three managed to live and excluding me and Tejasv, it was Nina who dashed away. Did she find and kill the boss somehow? But her condition also wasn't optimum for such a task. Then who?"He turned around to discuss his doubts with

(Catherine explains her and Salina's journey to the boss monster from her perspective!)After a deep breath, we glanced at the dark forest. It was a chilling scene due to the eerie aura this forest shrouds itself in. The first night we spent together left us terrified already, which was one of the reasons we had a hard time convincing ourselves to do it again.Although we were already in the jungle, the presence of many people around us and Fred's camp reclaiming a fortress made us forget the threat of the forest. When both of us realized we had to march into the jungle all alone, maybe surrounded by the wolves, we laughed about having to piss in our pants.We stood paralyzed and pondered why Tejasv would assign us such a mission when he and Daemon could complete it much more easily than us. We rubbed our chins and contemplated, only to conclude nothing in the end.There was nothing to state as a reason for the sudden learning of the difficulty of our task. Until now, we fought togeth

(Catherine’s perspective along with Salina's)I was stunned and moved towards Salina after culling all of the wolves on the sort of watch. When I gradually closed the distance between myself and Salina; the scene I witnessed left me pale and paralyzed. In my heavy breathing and exhaustion, I forgot to ponder how Salina may have felt while watching me fight for both of us and betting my life on the line.Salina was trembling in the bushes while curling herself and clenching the knife I gave her tightly. The shivers in her body were vigorous and dynamic as if the fear had seeped deep into her heart.I gazed at her for a while and even felt helpless since I had no idea how to comfort her. When I found no satisfying answer in my heart, I ghastly ran towards her and carried her up with a tight hug.I somehow comforted her and didn't let go until she calmed down and her shivers faded. For a while, I also noticed a few tears in her eyes, as if she felt guilty for not aiding me in fighting th

(Salina’s perspective with Catherine)Ahem!After my sister Catherine warned me(Salina) about the presence of the boss monster, I remained still on my stand to take part in this crucial task and resolved to complete this mission even if I had to step out of my comfort zone.Sis Catherine picked up a stone and threw it to the opposite side of the cave to distract the wolves. However, not all of them reacted to that. Only two of them moved from their places and went to check the sound.Since there was no other option left, sis stepped out of the bushes and yelled aloud, "You fucking dogs, come and get me!" As her voice echoed, the wolves turned around from the straddling noise around their lair.They looked anxious and frowned at the appearance of Catherine on their turf. Their rage and agitation were obvious from their roar. They grunted and stepped forward towards her, scratching their claws on the ground.Gradually, they encircled her and moved around her to form a circular formation
