Jenny gazed expressionlessly at the corpse of the ogre that sat before her feet. His entire body was dyed in blood, a mixture of her own and that of her enemy's. Her face was stained with the viscous liquid.

The sound of metal colliding with another object.

The man was truly exceptional, both in power and leadership.
