Warden was too transfixed on where his spear struck to notice where the laughter came from. But it definitely was not from the guy who had a spear stuck in his chest.
The laughter came from behind, followed by a familiar voice. "What did I tell you, kid? You won't have any problem defeating this fellow."
"Karim?" Warden arched his eyebrows. "What are you doing here?"
"Watching you demonstrate my teaching to this conceited fellow, obviously," Karim replied with another crackle of laughter, sounding pretty happy with the outcome. "Did you think I'm restricted within the area of the checkpoint?"
Warden scratched his chin and turned to the person who possibly needed medical care.
"Don't worry about him," Karim dismissed his concern. "He doesn't need a heart."
