Chapter 46: Stray Specter
People who never fought against monsters didn’t know how it happened. But, Lurra was an experienced Keeper, she participated in battles many times and saw others in action, especially newcomers because of her job at the fortress.
That’s why she was baffled to see how Kain reacted.
Step. Step. Step.
Step by step, Kain stepped back. He didn’t use the Codex or his weapon, the dagger hanging from his belt.
Why?
Because there was no reason.
The Grim Hunter looked menacing, but he did nothing, nor did Lurra.
’Hmm...’ Kain hummed. ’She put her hand on the hilt, but she’s in no hurry to attack. If I were to get scared, scream, or rush into the fight, I’d just provoke that monster, right?’
Exactly.
That was just what Lurra was thinking.
’Hah, I got a pretty smart guy. Well, what else would you expect from an active Rune Brand?’
