Somehow, someway, I managed to escape that little, blind, short, battle-maniac of a demoness alive.
It wasn't easy.
At some point during the chase, she got serious and deployed a bunch of Enhancement Cards to buff her speed.
So I also had to use my own innate power and ride away on a tidal wave of earth as if I were surfing on solid ground.
Like I said… she didn't make it easy.
But in the end, I did get away, shouting at her over my shoulder, "You'll never catch me alive!"
Anyway.
After slipping her grasp, I decided to wait a bit before going back to camp.
So I took a slow walk through the woods, letting my pulse settle and sorting my thoughts on some matters that had been plaguing my mind for a while.
As I strolled, I noticed that there really were no monsters in sight here.
Not a single monster. Not even those overgrown insects. Nothing dangerous at all.
…Well, if you don't count Kevin.
