Chapter 11-More Pigs?!
The scent of blood and scorched metal still lingered thick in the canyon air. Yuuta, now calmer, stood amidst the battlefield’s ruins. His froggy eyes flicked over the scene—splatters of blackened flesh, chunks of broken armor, and fragments of bone were strewn across the uneven, crater-ridden ground. But what truly caught his attention weren’t the guts or gore—it was the shiny promise of loot.
Gold coins sparkled like scattered stars among the carnage, and XP orbs still pulsed with a soft glow, hovering inches above the ground. With a small grunt, Yuuta hopped toward the leftovers, greed gleaming in his oversized eyes.
As he magneted the remaining XP orbs into his body, one by one floated toward him and disappeared in soft flashes of light. The familiar [ding!] sound popped in his ears as a system prompt appeared:
[XP Increase: Level 3 — 25% Progress]
More gold shimmered as he picked it up. Another system message followed:
[Total Gold Coins Amount: 550]
Yuuta let out a low whistle—not bad. He’d worked his slimy little ass off to earn this payday, even if his ass wasn’t quite what it used to be. He gave a small nod, satisfied but not too excited. His earlier high from getting the [LIGHTNING BOLT] card had overshadowed just about everything else.
"Still, a pretty good loot," he muttered with a small grin, his wide froggy mouth stretching awkwardly.
He stretched his arms up over his head and bent back, trying to shake off the lingering fatigue from the drawn-out fight. His limbs were stiff, especially his back and shoulders. His entire body ached from the way that spiked club had thrown him into the cliffside.
He winced a little as he straightened up again. "Yeah... definitely not made for cliff-slamming."
Yuuta’s bulbous eyes wandered across the battlefield once more. The canyon was barely recognizable. Huge boulders were scattered across the ground like discarded pebbles. One side of the cliff had crumbled into a jagged heap. Deep craters pockmarked the earth where the pigman’s enormous feet had landed, as if a meteor had dropped down and punched holes through the land.
