บท 524: I forgot I had company

Kyle glanced up at the sky above him. It was getting a bit dark, indicating that night was drawing near. He started running and left the lake behind, even though he knew it was a hot spring from the warm water and the faint scent of sulfur in the air.

He had come to understand that as much as he enjoyed warmth, he found that things just a bit warmer weren't compatible with his cold body. His silhouette darted through the verdant trees enveloping him from every angle, while the mystical spirit desperately clung to his shoulder, trying its best not to be left behind due to the harsh wind that pushed against his body.

Kyle expanded his scent perception skill in all directions to monitor his surroundings. Instantly, a multitude of scents inundated his nostrils, yet he didn't even flinch and extended his skill even further, detecting the diverse array of presences, monsters, and valuable items surrounding him.
