Chapitre 87: Reassignment

When I opened my eyes, the first thing that popped into my head was, "I'm still alive?"

I pushed myself off the cold ground and looked around. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw a large beast's face right beside me. While I was reeling away in fear, I noticed that it wasn't moving anymore.

"Don't tell me..."

I touched the beast, the 8th-stage Duke of Insatiable Hunger, and found its body was already cold. No pulse whatsoever could be felt. It's definitely dead.

I looked around immediately and found the three girls fainting not far away from me. I ran to their sides and quickly checked for their heartbeats. Yep, soft—no, I mean, they're still alive and breathing.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I sat down and stared at the slowly brightening sky. A little while later, the hustle and bustle began after everyone woke up at the same time.

"L-Look! It's the Duke of Insatiable Hunger!"
