"Um?"

Suddenly, Kyalton stopped in his tracks.

There seemed to be a sound not far away; it was deep, rapid, and very dense.

Something seemed amiss, and Kyal frowned, deciding to go and investigate.

He used the [Absolute] skill to eliminate his own presence and also used the [Concealment] skill. If he were hiding in the dark, he would be an undetectable ghost.

In this state, Kyal moved closer to the source of the sound, which was constantly shifting in location, but he was still able to catch up.

As they drew closer, Kyal kept a distance and began to observe them discreetly.

What came into view was a group of wild boar monsters running wildly. They were huge and had saddles on their backs. The noise was caused by their constant running.

Since these boar monsters have saddles on their backs, it's only natural that there are riders on them.

A group of humanoid creatures with brown skin were riding wild boar monsters. Apart from having a humanoid head and limbs, their physical characteristics were completely those of wild boars. They had thick skin like wild boars, covered with long hair, and heads that resembled wild boars, with long, thin tusks growing from their snouts. Fortunately, their hands and feet were not pig hooves, but rather human-like hands, otherwise it would be hard to imagine how they would stand up and use weapons.

Judging from their physical characteristics, there is no doubt that these are demons, specifically the Wild Boar Clan. Demons possess the ability to control other demons of their own kind, which explains why these wild boar demons are so obedient and compliant.

The reason they were running so fast was because there was someone ahead of them to chase: a girl in a long robe was running for her life.

Even someone with excellent stamina would feel uncomfortable after running continuously at high speed for such a long time.

With black hair, red eyes, fair skin, and long, pointed ears, the elven-like girl breathed heavily, her throat dry and sore. But she absolutely couldn't stop. If she stopped... and they caught her, she would surely die! And before she died, she would be tortured!
