"Give me everything you have," the human bandit demanded.
Rino did not know why he was a robbery target, but he bet the man had no idea who and what he was. From behind, in the dark, he could look like a bald adventurer. It wasn't the bandit's fault that he thought Rino was an easy target. However, the bandit could only blame his luck for the karma he brought upon himself because Rino desperately needed tannery workers.
Slowly, Rino turned around to face the bold bandit, who turned pale when there was no face. He stared into Rino's empty eye sockets, and his knees started knocking against each other.
"M-monster!" the man screamed and tried to run.
Rino did not give chase immediately. He simply summoned Mutt and ordered the sabre tooth wolf to follow leisurely, giving the cornered prey time to run to his friends. In a chase like this, Rino knew that the push and pull of fear were important to inspire his targets.
