In a room filled with tension, Dignus and Enid faced each other, their eyes radiating anger and hatred toward each other. There was no weakness visible in their postures, each determined to uncover the truth underlying their conflict.Suddenly, Dignus let out a long breath, trying to ease some of the tension that filled the room. "What do you mean?" asked Dignus in a voice that, despite trying to remain calm, sounded bitter.Enid could no longer hide his annoyance. "Don't pretend you don't know! Your acting is terrible, Dignus," he said in an unfriendly tone. With steady steps, he approached Dignus, standing tall before him. "How come the mission in Hollowfield Village is still on your mission list?" said Enid in a puzzled tone.Dignus tried to defend himself, saying, "I already ordered my guild master to burn it when it was sent to my town." His face looked pale with guilt, and Enid's sharp gaze was probing every word that came out of his mouth.However, Enid, who could not bear the

The strapping old man looked at Eran with sharp eyes, hinting at great seriousness. The night wind rustled, and the atmosphere around them was filled with a tense atmosphere. It was as if nature itself was participating in an imminent war."You should run later, Eran. Understood?" he said again, his voice accompanied by the rustling wind that deepened the tension of the night. The dim moonlight shone on the old man's face, revealing the seriousness of his message.Eran pondered, his eyes never leaving the old man's face. Many wrinkles adorned the experienced skin on his face, giving the impression that the man had been through so many battles. There were several small wounds adorning his face, traces of the heroic stories he had gone through.Who knows how many battlefields he had witnessed, who knows how many friends he had left behind. But his scarred face also reveals that he is someone who always perseveres, never giving up.Eran's own face reflects the man's youth. His shoulder-l

Amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Tavern, the sounds of laughter and joy filled the air as Theo and his group celebrated the success of their two recent missions. The clinking of tankards and the lively melodies of the master bards of Halbarad created a joyous atmosphere, bringing a sense of relief and relaxation to the weary soldiers.Theo approached the table located in the corner where Eran was sitting and then made an inviting gesture. "Eran, why don't you join us?"Eran, with a faint smile, shook his head slowly. Then, Theo asked again, "Does your wound still hurt?"Eran shook his head again. "The longer it goes on, the better it gets," he replied.Theo smiled and looked excited. "Great, so let's join in," he invited, trying to persuade Eran to join in.Eran still refused, "No... you know me, right? I prefer to be alone like this."Theo didn't give up, pleading in an excited tone, "Oh, come on Eran, just once to celebrate the success of our two missions."However, there was a

"Really, were they chasing you back then?" asked Catallina, wanting to know for sure.Eran nodded as he sifted his gaze towards the soldiers they were observing. "Right, those are Dignus soldiers, they were chasing us back then.""That snob," grumbled Catallina in a hateful tone."Do you know him?" asked Eran, his voice a little louder than expected.Catallina looked sharply at Eran. "Shhh...don't yell. Your voice is too loud!" whispered Catallina in an annoyed tone."Did you hear something?" asked one of the soldiers suspiciously."No," the other soldier replied doubtfully."I just heard what sounded like someone over there," the soldier said, pointing to the thick bushes where Catallina and Eran were hiding.Eran and Catallina lingered in suspense, hoping the soldiers would leave soon."Really?" the first soldier's question echoed in the tension of the silent forest.The two soldiers looking towards the bushes suddenly felt an unexpected presence. They moved cautiously toward the bu

Gorstag was looking increasingly angry and frustrated as his previous attacks were fruitless. Even more embarrassing, all the attacks using his two axes were successfully parried by the two hammers used by Kain."Damn it! Damn it! Damn you, shorty!" shouted Gorstag very loudly, letting his frustration explode.Kain could not help but laugh, mocking his opponent. "Hahaha... Alright, Gorstag. I'll end this now, I think I'm starting to sweat."Gorstag who was provoked by Kain's taunt responded with his signature move. He took one step back, then with a steady stride, he leaped towards Kain, his two axes aiming at Kain as if to split him in two."You're crazy, Gorstag! Do you want to kill me?" Kain grumbled, trying to maintain his composure amidst the escalating situation.However, as Gorstag got closer to Kain, Kain quickly dodged the attack with an agile movement to the left. Gorstag's axe missed spectacularly, and as the axe was about to land on the ground, Kain immediately slammed bot
