The kobold warrior breathed a sigh of relief.
Safe?
He glanced down inadvertently, in the warm yellow glow emitted by the candle.
The patch of bright red on the ground was so glaring.
Oh no!
He wasn't the only one who saw this streak of red.
All the kobolds present looked up.
In the darkness before them, a tall figure swiftly swooped like a ghost.
The kobold instinctively wanted to lift his weapon to resist.
But...
"Swish, swish, swish!"
From the blood-soaked soil, the vines that absorbed the blood burst forth, instantly binding their limbs.
In the next moment, that shadowy figure quickly enlarged before their eyes.
"Slash!"
A crisp sound of flesh being pierced echoed in their ears.
The kobolds lost their consciousness.
Gauss stood firm, flicking the blood off his hands.
An elite kobold warrior, roughly level 2 challenge rating.
