Chapter 75: People (2)
Pshuk! Pshuk!
Kwaak!
This is a story from when Dereck had not yet grown accustomed to the smell of monster blood.
It was when he had just started interacting with the group of mercenaries and was getting familiar with the ecology of the labyrinth by following Jayden.
The intimidation caused by goblins, trolls, ogres, and other monstrous demi-humans was considerable, so many mercenaries who explored the labyrinth for the first time would tremble or be of no help at all in combat.
However, despite his young age, Dereck slit their throats and severed limbs without hesitation, showing the demeanor of a cold and ruthless mercenary.
Jayden often admired Dereck’s attitude, even thinking that maybe he lacked human emotions.
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
After completing the expedition that day, Dereck, who was sitting at the camp tending the fire before returning to Ebelstein, showed no signs of exhaustion.
