Chapter 56
After completing their exploration, Khal and his party returned straight to their base.
“Hehehe, play with me.”
Although Death Mask spirits were lingering around the perimeter of the base…
Ssssh.
Because of the ‘Evil Spirit Warding’ magic Diana had prepared in advance, they couldn’t even come near the base.
Watching this, Schmidt couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.
“…So you really were a mage.”
“Then what did you think I was until now?”
Diana glared at Schmidt with an exasperated expression before quickly turning her gaze toward Khal.
Clench!
Khal, wearing his light armor, looked ready to head out again at any moment.
Grrrr.
Unlike the worried Diana, Bagrova wagged his tail and circled Khal as if asking to be taken along, seemingly excited.
Slide.
Khal, as always, pushed Bagrova away with his foot.
Watching Khal from the side, Vegenue twitched his eyebrows and spoke.
“You. Are you really planning to go catch that monster?”
As a merchant who had traveled the world for a long time, Vegenue had seen many monsters.
From Goblins to Orcs, Ogres, and Trolls—there were moments of crisis, but he had always managed to defeat them with the help of hired mercenaries.
However, this monster was on a completely different level.
An unidentified monster that had crushed a Sabertooth Tiger in a single blow.
Vegenue hadn’t seen its true form, but Khal was certain that the monster was his target, ‘Kurabil’.
