Chapter 51: The hero is finally here!
His armour was terrible damaged, one leg soaked in blood.
His staff, his trusted weapon, was cracked and broken in half.
His left arm dangled limply by his side—dislocated or worse.

Grrrhhhh...
He growled lowly.
Yano stepped back, his foot scraping against rubble. Cold sweat poured down his face. He wanted to scream. To curse out loud... or even turn his back and run like a coward.
But his legs wouldn’t move.
’This... thing...’ he thought, eyes shaking.
’What kind of monster is this? How is it so strong? What the hell even is it!?’
He couldn’t breathe, and the broken staff in his hand felt too heavy to even lift.
