Jude led his men along the riverbank for a while in pursuit, but they couldn't find any trace of Gray and eventually had to return the same way they came.
Thomas happened to be patrolling nearby when the incident occurred, the arrow that struck Gray's left shoulder was shot by him, said the Guard Captain.
"He must be seriously injured and was swept away by the river. Is it possible that you couldn't find him because he's already dead?"
"Don't underestimate the survival instinct of a beast, especially when it's near death," Jude replied.
"But even if he survives, he probably won't be able to reach Rune City before us."
This small incident midway didn't cause much disturbance. With Black Hand dead in battle, the conflict unfolding on this land had already been decided.
