Chapter 185: Southern Advance of the Demonic Beasts (2) (Teaser)
Epherene stood high upon the wall, her fingers tightening around the automatic crossbow as she followed the guard's instructions.
"Yes, now all that remains is for you to pull the trigger," the guard said.
“… Bang, bang, bang— Pow, pow, pow, pow— bang, bang—” Epherene murmured, hesitant to waste the arrows, her lips mimicking the sound of firing instead.
"If you'd like, you're welcome to fire it yourself," the guard said, smiling.
"It’s fine. But now that I think about it, I’ve heard thunder rumbling at night. Could it have been because of this?"
"Yes. With this crossbow, we should be able to take down a troll without much trouble."
