Bab 335: Frozen Mountain [1]

"Rein, let's split evenly. Can you take on three?"

"Sure."

Raven and Reinhard peeked behind a corridor. There, they could see six Reapersnakes, slithering silently in the cave's shadows. The torches' dim light cast a reflection off their glossy scales.

Tsss~

Their forked tongues flicked in and out.

Raven tightened his grip on his dagger, analyzing the situation. 

From what he knew of Reapersnakes—information provided by the main guild—they were around the A–ranks. 

Furthermore, they were known for their ability to blend into the darkness and ambush unsuspecting prey.

Raven glanced over at Reinhard. 

"I'll keep mine busy and make sure they don't flank you."

"Sure."

Reinhard nodded and stepped forward.

Tsss~

As they approached, the snakes reared back. Their eyes glinted with dangerous intent. The bloodlust surrounding them was palpable.

Crack!
