Chapitre 723: Meeting

Following the dramatic turn of events, an eerie silence blanketed the city. The enormous snake beast lay dead on the outskirts of the city, its lifeless eye staring vacantly into the sky. A huge chunk of the district was ruined, bearing the scars of the beast's rampage.

Although the beast had only arrived for a few moments and didn't even get a chance to attack, the amount of destruction it still caused was immense.

Alden sheathed his sword, his body covered in sweat and blood. His gaze fell upon the lifeless snake beast, then shifted towards where Norrick had made his last stand. A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he registered the sacrifice his subordinate and team had made.

However, he couldn't help but think that this whole situation was strange now that he thought about it. 

First off, he never ordered Norrick to hunt down beasts. Secondly, the man didn't listen even when he told him to stop.
