Chapter 45: First Kill.
Pebbles bounced slightly off the ground following the rhythmic sound of something being hammered repeatedly.
Lara, who had been staring at the sky for some time, shifted her gaze to the ground then to the man standing a short distance away. He was covering his mouth and holding his stomach, barely suppressing his laughter.
"Is this your idea of humor?" The maid asked.
Ramsay burst out laughing as if he was waiting for someone to say the words. He kept at it for a while as if he really did lose control.
"I will be going, then."
"Suit... suit yourselfffffhahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Ramsay continued to laugh even as the silver-haired girl walked away. Lara had noticed that he was barely containing himself when her master confidently strode toward the horde of beasts; the whole thing was a prank from the start.
Not that she was any better. She the stone-covered beasts didn’t pose much danger, that’s why she agreed to let her master face them alone.
’He needs to learn some-’
The maid couldn’t finish the thought when she heard one of the rhinos cry again. Looking up, she saw it was the same one that had been stumping her master, but right now it was backing away with blood spilling from one of its front legs.
For a moment, Lara panicked, thinking the blood belonged to her master. She then noticed something emerge from the dust cloud the beast roused and stopped in her tracks. A vague humanoid figure glowing light green rose up and faced the beast.
