*Pant!*
*Pant!*
The bandit leader was running inside the woods, leaping from one place to another to hide from the pursuers. After a while, he hid behind a tree, dropped to the ground, and tried to regain his breath.
'I should have lost them, right?' He took a peek while looking around, not finding any person. For that short time, he felt relief since he managed to keep his life.
However, he soon heard someone's voice echoing from the other side.
"So, who taught you how to catch the demon?"
"!!!" When the bandit was about to turn around, a sword came out of the opposite side of the tree and stopped right in front of his neck as if telling him that it would kill him if he didn't answer that question.
"I-I don't know!" The bandit leader shouted. "Don't kill me please!"
"Answer my question." The voice asked again as the sword slightly pressed the neck, making it bleed.
