A silence lingered within the town as I jumped down from the monster's head.
Glancing back, I touched its body, and the ice around it started to crack.
The crack slowly covered the entire body of the monster before a crumbling sound echoed.
A mist of ice moved along with the wind as the monster's body turned into nothing but dust.
I walked through the crowd, who now looked at me with fearful eyes, before I reached Nella.
"Let's go," I said while she passed the child to his parents.
"Where?" she asked, tilting her head. "...Didn't we kill the monster already?"
"That doesn't change much," I replied, walking while she followed. "Killing the monster is nothing but a temporary solution."
"...You think there are more—?"
"Yes, I do," I cut her off, glancing back at her.
She had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Do you know about that monster?" she asked as we once again arrived at the barren part of the town.
