Sarka didn't deny it or make excuses. She simply froze as if she'd seen a ghost or recalled a nightmare. In fact, to some extent, that was exactly what had happened.
"It seems you've forgotten about the most dangerous unranked monster?" Adam turned to Sarka.
After a few moments, she shook her head, slowly coming to her senses.
"No, that's not it. I completely forgot about that one. It's not that I don't think he's strong enough or that I wanted to hide it from you, just…"
Adam raised an eyebrow. He was caught off guard by how uncertainly Sarka spoke of this fighter.
"Just, I don't think there's the slightest chance he'll fight, especially at the Grim Court. I can't remember the last time I heard about him. All I know is that he hasn't been in the Hollow Lands for several months, or even longer..."
She stroked her shoulder as goosebumps ran across her skin.
