Aldrich retreated back towards the town vigilantly, he didn't dimiss the possibility that the Grappler might have pretended to withdraw to lower his guard.
What he saw from the monster indicated that it was capable of such trickery.
After a while and when he got close to the town Aldrich realized that he was returning empty handed and sighed in disappointment.
He had hoped to make a few extra coins today but things just didn't go his way. He also didn't regret not fighting the Grappler just now, he could make up for today's loss some other day.
Better to lose out on some coins than to lose his life.
He had his eyes on a creature called Amphiptere, this monster was very special, one could called it the most valuable grade zero monster.
Not only was it grade zero it was also at level one and yet a young Amphiptere sold for at least a silver coin.
