Rigid drew his bowstring and aimed an arrow at one of the remaining underlings of the main character Dave. He let go of the bowstring and the arrow went very fast toward the head of the person he aimed for. The arrow easily pierced his head and killed him instantly.

Killing that person, Rigid immediately drew his bowstring and aimed another arrow at another one of the remaining underlings of the main character Dave. He let go of the bowstring and the arrow went very fast toward the head of the person he aimed for. The arrow easily pierced his head and killed him instantly.

Rigid kept repeating the same thing until finally there were no arrows left for him. He managed to kill six people with his arrows despite having to miss several times.

The remaining underlings of the main character Dave are only seven people. They had run too far away and disappeared from Rigid's sight. Even so, their footprints on the sand can still be seen clearly.
'Is it necessary for me to chase them and kill them right away? I could have followed their footprints in the sand, but that would only last until the wind swept them away,' Rigid thought as he put down his bow and picked up his spear again. 'I have to confirm first whether killing them will benefit me or not.'

Rigid followed the footprints that were left behind by the remaining underlings of the main character Dave and as he walked, he realized that there had been a significant change in his stats. All of them have increased even though all he did was kill a few people. Besides his changed stats, he also gained a title and a skill.
'I got a significant increase in stats, I even got a title and a skill out of nowhere,' Rigid thought as he stopped walking. 'Now..., I think it is necessary for me to kill the rest.'
Rigid walked back following the footprints on the sand. He explored the hot desert until finally, the sun began to set. The night wind in the desert began to blow and erased the footprints on the sand.
"What an irritating wind," Rigid mumbled to himself as he kicked a pile of sand in front of him. "I should have just run so I could catch up to them faster."
Rigid looked around and found a pile of rocks that formed a cave. 'Humans definitely need a place to rest in the night, I and the remaining underlings of the main character Dave are humans too,' Rigid thought as he walked toward the cave.
Rigid arrived at the mouth of the cave and saw that there were some footprints of at least seven people who had entered the cave. He looked around to check if there were a few of those people guarding the cave, but he couldn't find any.
'Are they so stupid as to hide in this cave without any of them standing guard outside? This is such a thing as choosing to die in a foolish way,' Rigid thought. 'During my journey to Carrion, I only fell asleep for a few moments because I was alone and continued my journey straight away.'
Rigid entered the cave and pounded his spear against the cave wall seven times. "Even though this cave is dark, I know you are in it," Rigid said as his voice echoed throughout the cave. "Hurry up here so I can end your lives sooner."
Suddenly several arrows shot toward Rigid and almost grazed his cheek. It didn't stop there, two people carrying swords charged straight toward Rigid and they were followed by another two people carrying spears behind them. Moreover, there were there people behind them who were aiming their arrows toward Rigid.
'Since they chose to fight me in a tight spot by relying on numbers after they saw what happened to their friends, they must be so stupid that their heads are brainless,' Rigid thought as he spun his spear 360 degrees in front of him. 'No wonder the main characters look down on the non-playable characters like us.'
Rigid jumped forward and stabbed one of the people who carried a sword in the stomach. He slammed him toward another person carrying a sword until they crashed into the cave wall. He pulled out his spear and stabbed it into their heads.

As soon as he killed both of them, the two people who were carrying a spear thrust their spears at Rigid's head and back at the same time. However, Rigid easily avoided it by jumping up and letting go of his spear.
Rigid used the ceiling of the cave as a pedestal to jump at those two and then strangled them. He lifted them up and used them both as meat shields to protect him against the arrows that were shot at him.
The two people who were used as meat shields by Rigid tried to rebel and attack him. However, Rigid tightened his grip on their necks until they couldn't breathe and died in his hands.

Rigid kept moving forward, closing his distance with the three people who were shooting arrows at him. When he got close enough to them, he threw the two people he had in his arms at them and made them fall to the ground. He picked up an arrow lying on the ground and stuck it in the head of one of the three people who were still alive.

"Please spare our lives! Please spare us!" one of the two people who were still alive shouted as he prostrated himself along with his friend at Rigid's feet. Their body trembled with fear and cold sweat started pouring down from their face. "If you spare our lives, we swear to give you whatever you want from us."
Suddenly each of them picked up an arrow on the ground and thrust them into Rigid's leg. They laughed at him as they stood up and saw that there is no change in Rigid's expression even though the two arrows had pierced his leg.
"What? You think I would scream in agony or cry over something like this?" Rigid asked as he smiled. "I'm sorry to say this but my voice and tears won't come out over something like this."
Rigid kicked those two until both of them crashed into the cave wall. He walked toward them and then stomped at their faces one by one. He forcibly pulled out the two arrows in his leg and thrust them into the heads of those two.

As he leveled up, the wounds on his leg healed by themselves and left no scars. "So if I level up, then all my wounds will heal by themselves even though I don't have self-healing abilities," Rigid mumbled to himself. "However, it looks like the experience points required at each level are increasing so it will be more difficult for me to level up."

"Oh yeah, what's my reason for killing these people in the first place? Somehow I forgot about it," Rigid asked himself as he tried to remember his reason for killing those people. However, he couldn't remember and completely forgot about it. "Well..., whatever, I have to go to Carrion."
Rigid walked towards Carrion and stopped not far from the gate which was guarded by two guards. 'Finally, I got here after a week-long,' Rigid thought as he stared at the guards. 'I could have directly asked them to let me in, but there is a possibility that they might know about who am I.'
Rigid lost his memory about the time he had spent in Carrion and whatever happened to him there. He thought that it was his first time arriving in there.
