Chapter 135
As night deepened, the malevolence of monsters grew more rampant. Yet, Yan, with unwavering focus, methodically cut them down.
Swish! Swish! Swoosh!
With every burst of light from Ascalon, the monsters’ heads inevitably flew off. Valdes quickly pounced on the beheaded beasts, skillfully disassembling them to harvest magic stones and valuable parts that could be turned into coin. He had already surpassed two hundred monsters.
Yan, dripping with sweat, watched Valdes diligently at work and asked, “Getting the hang of it?”
“The hang of it?” Valdes replied, unable to articulate a proper response, which made Yan sigh deeply.
“Why do you think I had you disassemble them?” Yan prodded further.
Valdes couldn’t bring himself to say that he thought it was because the lord found it too dirty or bothersome.
As Valdes hesitated, Yan sat down beside him, where he was disassembling a freshly caught monster, and pointed at the creature.
“This beast has a hide that hardly yields to blades.”
“Really?”
“But you, instinctively, avoid the tough hide and strike at its weaknesses.”
