"I… I did it, Master…"
Stella said as she gasped for air.
The battle with the Evil Beast was unplanned but she managed to win due to the many kendo techniques she used during the fight.
Before Reiji could say something, Stella exclaimed as she was reminded of something…
"I need to use another potion!"
She's alone on her hunt so she had to be extra careful. She quickly took out a half-filled Null Flower Potion to spray towards the corpse…
She can finally relax a bit as she can now be sure that the scent of blood wouldn't just spread around the area…
She then took out her knife to take the core on the wolf's body…
Snap!
As soon as she took out the core, she heard the snapping sound of twigs behind her… She quickly kept her knife and the core to her bag as she assumed her battle stance.
