章 88: Chapter 88 - No Matter What

Point-of-View: Argent Stryker

———————————————————————————

"Hey, watch out behind you, Izzy!" I called out, as I cut down a Monster that sprang up in front of me, a Blood Rat, slicing its head off with a swift flick on my wrist. 

"Yeah, yeah," She responded indifferently, as she lightly swung her fist backwards, slamming it onto a Blood Rat that had tried to sneak up behind her and then leapt towards her back. 

As the back of her fist struck it, it got sent flying back as blood burst out from it as she shattered its bone with a loud crunch, crashing onto a tree with a bloody splat. Well, I suppose there's no reason to warn her against a Common Grade Monster, even if one did land an attack, it wouldn't have any effect on her.

A little under four months have passed since I met her, today's the 26th of Junius, the fourth month of the year 2013. I've spent very little time in any towns or villages over the past few months, a day or two at most.
