Chapter 25: Seventh Floor, The Eerie Forest and the Mad Weretigers (2)
[Challenger Kwon Su-Hyeok’s party must kill at least three weretigers. If they kill more than five, the Weretiger King will appear. Time remaining: 4 hours 42 minutes.]
[Number of weretigers killed by Kwon Su-Hyeok's party: 0/3]
Despite my earlier resolve to embrace any potential consequences, I found myself holding back, unable to attack the weretigers with my full force.
“Grragh!”
A weretiger charged at me from the right, and I swung my mace at its shoulder. I heard its bones shatter from my strike.
Crunch!
The weretiger staggered, clutched its now-sunken shoulder, and then collapsed.
Of course, I hadn’t hit it with all my strength. I was being careful, aiming only to incapacitate and not to kill. Every strike I made was measured and deliberate.
“Su-Hyeok! Slow down a bit!”
