Chapter 7: The Boy in the Forest
Dominic chased after the Doshaguma that had escaped his sword.
He had come to the Dashtadem Fortress as reinforcements after the sudden surge of magical beasts in the area.
The Knight Order Fifth Division, which had originally been assigned to the fortress, was nearly wiped out.
Most of the wounded people had already been sent to the town’s medical facilities, leaving behind only a few soldiers who are still able to fight.
He had rushed here directly from the royal capital.
From that day on, he had been fighting magical beasts nonstop.
Every single day was a battle.
Most of the magical beast that appeared—like the Doshaguma and the Remobra—were especially violent and dangerous.
Even his own unit, the Knight Order Second Division, had taken heavy damage. Injuries kept piling up.
Today was no different. They had gone out on another subjugation mission. At the end of the operation, the last Doshaguma had gotten away, and Dominic chased it into the forest.
