Chapter 60: [Weekly Bonus - 5/6] A Fight Long Overdue (1)
"I’m sorry... I’m sorry..." Rina mumbled while running away in random directions, "I’m sorry, Leno, I just did what I had to..."
The monster had just killed Shika, and now it stood between Rina and Leno, probably deciding who would be its next prey.
It was a creature whom none of them had seen or heard of before. While Rina was trying to figure out their next step, he noticed the damn abomination was eyeing him and knew he had to do something or else he would die.
At that moment, Rina just wanted to save his butt and no one else. So he grabbed a fairly big rock from the ground and threw it at Leno’s head. Leno, who was fixated on the monster, didn’t notice the rock being hurled over towards him and fell on the ground with a thud.
"Argh!" Leno screamed as his vision blurred.
The blood gushed out of the wound on his head and attracted the monster towards him. As predicted, the monster ignored Rina and jumped onto a defenceless Leno. Rina’s plan had worked, and now it was time to escape.
As he ran toward their wolves, Rina couldn’t help but stare at his ’friend’, who was most certainly going to die. He just hoped the dead wouldn’t hold a grudge towards him; after all, he did what he had to do.
But what Rina saw next was nothing less than a scene from a horror movie. At that moment, he knew neither his nor Leno’s death would be as painless or quick as Shika’s. The monster took his time killing Leno, savouring his every scream slowly.
It first tore his legs apart from his body because Leno had been desperately kicking the 12-foot-tall humanoid monster in a last-ditch effort to save himself.
