Chapter 6: Loathing
Of course, this rule was unofficial because it wasn’t something that the mysterious powers of the Beast Domain enacted, but one the Federation had set in place to maintain order in the Sanctuaries.
Not even the War Beasts, the ones in charge of this Sanctuary, could ever think of going against this rule.
It wouldn’t do humanity any good if the places that were supposed to be safe havens for humans turned into bloody war zones every time someone brought back a valuable beast corpse.
...However the same couldn’t be said out in the wilderness, where there would be no witnesses.

Nick’s uneventful return to the sanctuary was abruptly interrupted, unfortunately for him.
The butt of a sword hit the back of his head from behind, not hard enough to knock him out but more than enough to send him scowling in pain.
"Which moron decided to team up with this Useless imp?" A voice echoed out from behind him, and Nick recognised it at once.
’Beast Slayer! That bastard!’
As one’s destination in the Beast Domain was entirely random when first stepping through the teleporter, many people opted to use fake names to hide their real identities.
Beast Slayer was one of such people, and he also happened to be one of the people Nick wanted to cross paths with the least.
